Silicon Gulf
December 8, 2007
Last night, about 3 quarters of IT3 went to Fwendz Diner owned by Mr. Chris Cubos. We had an opportunity to meet and mingle with the top I.T. people here in Davao City. There were foreigners, one of them is the author of the CS3 bible and he demoed to us about his adobe thing. And the other foreigner is a PHP expert who was really friendly and approached our table to invite us to join his Januaray event. Even the CS rep of addu, Jesh Flores was there and the Philo Rep, and Ms. Elizaga. The PSITS president also went there, and a girl from google Philippines, Rodney Hao, guy from offSourcing.
A lot of people got drunk and we had a fun time together. We met a whole bunch of good UIC I.T. 3rd year. It was beyond cool. I mean they share the same sentiment that school s*cks… One of the UIC 3rd year is an expert blender named RagingMon. He did a demo earlier that day at the MSITE at NCCC Mall.
Anyway, the goal of the gathering is to recruit I.T. people to become part of the Silicon Gulf. It is in a way mimic the Silicon Valley of the U.S. It’s aim is to be the top I.T. industry in the whole Philippines. What’s wonderful about it is that it has a great number of supporters from the academe to I.T. companies.
We are looking forward for another event.
