CS3 (Computer Science Student Society) of Visayas State University celebrated Software Freedom Day today, one-day advance of the international celebration due to the availability of the organizers, participants and the venue (IT Building, VSU).

About 60 pre-registered and walk-in participants joined us in our celebration, all are students and mostly from computer science department.

We started accepting pre-registration last September 6, 2010. About 26 participants confirmed.

Local Software Freedom Day 2010 in Visayas State University just finished. I will post the documentation as soon as I am not busy in work and in my studies, hopefully not later than Tuesday.
