The month of September is when Software Freedom Day (SFD) is celebrated all over the world. This is a global, grassroots effort to educate the public about the importance of software freedom and the virtues and availability of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).
The involvement of Team KNFOSSociety in 2009 who made it to the top three of the most commended entry, encouraged the present batch to do better each year.
To keep the FOSS spirit alive, KNCHS Fossociety under the Vocational Department will be participating in this year’s Software Freedom Day competition.
We’ve designed a series of events that will highlight FOSS as well as encourage active participation to those involved:
September 14 – Internet Awareness and Security, with Pidgin hands-on session
- Selected ICT DOST students
- Resource speaker: Philippine News Agency
- Venue: Computer Laboratory, 1-4pm
September 21- KNFossociety on Tour, whole day
- The DOST 4th year- ICT students will be visiting two schools and hold an orientation and demonstration forum. Two schools are targeted: San Vicente National High School, Concepcion National High School and San Vicente National High School
- The DOST 2nd year ICT students, for the first time will join in the tour series of events. Target school is Esperanza National High School.
- Expected give-aways and prizes: cd’s and SFD stickers
September 29 – Multimedia Tools for teaching
- Expected participants are selected KNCHS teachers and invited teachers from other schools
- Teachers will be having hands-on sessions on the creation of presentations and videos with web-based activities
With the support of the school principal, Mr. Fernando Hilomen, our SFD 2011 will surely be another FOSS hit.
