= Overview =
OSGEO Philippines (OSGeo-PH), the University of Philippines Department of Geodetic Engineering (UPD-GE), OpenStreetMap Philippines (OSM-PH) and the Environmental Science for Social Change (ESSC) organized a series of pre-symposium workshops showcasing free and open source technologies at the PhilGEOS 2012 last November 23-24, 2012 at Melchor Hall University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City (map).
This is our first FOSS4G event in the Philippines. Over 60 participants joined 8 workshops and 3 lightning talks. The OSGeo Live project was also presented in one of the parallel technical sessions in the main conference. Likewise, an exhibit booth was installed during the PhilGEOS conference for OSGeo and OpenStreetMap. Over ~50 OSGeo Live DVDs were handed out to conference participants.

9:00 - 10:30 	Marx Tupas 	GeoNode 	Geonode (http://geonode.org) is an integrated platform for the management and publication of geospatial data. Its data management tools allow for integrated creation of data, metadata, and map visualizations. Each dataset in the system can be shared publicly or restricted to allow access to only specific users. Social features like user profiles and commenting and rating systems allow for the development of communities around each platform to facilitate the use, management, and quality control of the data the GeoNode instance contains.	
10:30 - 12:00 	Jules Bañgate 	GRASS GIS 	GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) is a software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of more than 350 modules for processing vector (2D/3D), raster and voxel data. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, mapserver and even other GIS software exist. It can serve as a Desktop GIS and as the backbone of a complete GIS infrastructure.

1:00 - 2:30 	Rally de Leon 	Editing OpenStreetMap Data 	OpenStreetMap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) is a project that creates and provides free geographic data and mapping to anyone who wants it. We started it because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways. This session will introduce how to to edit data in OpenStreetMap. 	
2:30 - 4:00 	Maning Sambale 	Advance Cartography with Quantum GIS 	Quantum GIS (http://www.qgis.org) is a user friendly GIS that runs on several operating systems (Linux, Unix, Mac OSX, Windows and Android). QGIS supports vector, raster, and database formats. QGIS is licensed under the GNU Public License. This workshop is a technical demonstration and hands-on tutorial in the use of QGIS using the advance cartographic styling features of the application. 	Workshop materials
