[Ubuntu-PH] Re: ubuntu-ph Digest, Vol 11, Issue 3

Go on Yolynne, advocacy is advocacy, critics are
critics. You have different ways of doing things, you
are optomistic, they are pessimistic. If you notice
that they are reacting, it was then that they are
already starting to feel the first wave of FOSS
advocacy in your place. If ever you need help that
they will surely eat their elbows up just tell me. I
have a sister who had several speaking engagements in
different parts of asia the past years about digital
divide. I'm also a Microsoft System Builder and yet I
manage to do things right for my heart and for my
pocket. If they could not resist us then its time to
coexist to achieve peace and development. We are not
in FOSS advocacy to do politics, rather we are in FOSS
advocacy to alleviate poverty and promote development
that politics had devastated since time immemorial.

Let us not derail development through FOSS. Critics
should have their own solutions to match ours if they
need to survive, otherwise they should coexist. 

Still the best things in life is free. The Almighty
created us and made this universe without charging
anybody.

As Dwight Eishenhower addressed his troops before
"Moderation in war is imbecility". This is also
applicable in todays war on digital divide.

So go on zambo lady, we are in full support to your
FOSS advocacy. 

We will rock them,
