leather jacket and trademark genius-speak. It is from these roots that
today’s forest of open-source advocates, idealists, and companies grew.
Discussions about open source revolve around the perception that open ... (more)
The images were beamed to a worldwide audience: a big typhoon had hit the
Philippines, several hundred people drowned, and floods covered much of the
nation's capital, Manila. "Ketsama" (or "Ondoy" as it was known locally) had
dumped a month's worth of rain in about 12 hours. In a country that is hit by
about 20 typhoons each year, this one caused the most destruction seen in
decades.
In addition to tremendous loss of life and property, the storm and its
aftermath have caused, and continue to cause, a very serious loss of
credibility to the presidential administration of Gloria ... (more)
You might say Dell and Managed Services are real compatible.
In any case, there's an emerging story about how the Austin giant has made a

Note: Ray Roxas-Chua is the Chairman of the Commission on Information and
Communications Technology (CICT), in the government of the Philippines. He is
the youngest cabinet member in the administration of President Gloria
Arroyo-Macapagal.
I interviewed him in late 2008. The interview occurred before the Satyam
scandal in India, which in my view threatens to disrupt all outsourcing
growth in India, perhaps to the benefit of other countries, including the
Philippines.
Roger Strukhoff: Let’s start with some background information on the CICT.
Ray Roxas-Chua: The CICT was formed in... (more)
