Kuliax News 23.12.2007
Hello supporters of Kuliax Project, long time no see. It’s been a long time since our development progress was began slower and slower 
We just want to report some news about our activities that happened while we weren’t writing a post in this blog.
We have been invited to two (2) events in the same date on November 18, 2007. The first event was Seminar Open Source and VOIP at Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY), one of our developer was the speaker on the topic of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Actually, he didn’t present some kind of “FOSS common-presentation” but he rather chose broader and “down-to-earth” topic, that is Open and Free (as Freedom) Technology.
In our session, we’ve just shared relatively new status and paradigm of technology today and tomorrow, but of course we didn’t leave the foundation topic of FOSS out. We showed people some history of technologies which came from educational environment in the world and dealt with FOSS, also some info, benefit and use FOSS in embedded device, projects like One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), Android, and all things that use Linux inside them which we sometimes didn’t recognize its involvement.
Our second event invitation is KPLI* Meeting in Indonesia Linux Conference 2007 at Fakultas Teknologi Industri, Universitas Islam Indonesia (UII) Yogyakarta. We came late to this meeting, as you knew that we went to UNY first to give a talk there. Sorry to say that we think we didn’t give any significant things to the meeting, but at least we came to show our support to the movement and development of Linux/FOSS in Indonesia.
Note: There was an invitation to present Kuliax at Institut Teknologi Surabaya on November 30, 2007 but we had a schedule which could not left behind on that date. We hope we have more chances to come to as many as places spreading FOSS and its benefits to people, especially in Indonesia.
* Kelompok Pengguna Linux Indonesia or Linux User Group (LUG) Indonesia.
