DabaweGNU, Inc.
About the organization.
DabaweGNU Inc., is a non-stock, non-profit organization registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission on December 5, 2003. Its primary aim is to provide its members a venue for technical growth in "Free/Open Source Software" (FOSS) technologies and to advocate the use of this technology to the rest of the community.
DabaweGNU (pronounced as dabawen-yo) began from an Internet mailing list that was established after a series of successful seminars which featured one of the most well known FOSS projects: the GNU/Linux operating system. The organization came about from the list members' common desire to have a venue to further enhance knowledge and experiment on FOSS technologies.
The members of DabaweGNU come from diverse backgrounds. There are student members, programmers, systems administrators, hobbyists, and ICT managers. Members can come from any background as long as they are advocates of FOSS.The name DabaweGNU is derived from the terms "Davaoeno", meaning a native of Davao and “GNU” which is an acronym for "GNU's Not Unix", a recursive programming joke. Therefore, the name DabaweGNU means a native of Davao who loves Free and Open Source Software.
