I have a few unreleased CMS, Forums, Video Management systems over at code.google.com. All of which are opensource. I think by those I can consider myself a Pinoy OpenSource developer, and I know a few handful people too na pinoy OS dev din.. I think marami kame, hindi nga lang publicized because it doesnt need to be.. :P I think pinoy OS devs are underground nowadays, well at least thats how I see it being one.. ..pinoy coder here, i have been involved with the development of Mambo CMS, and recently shifted with some ex-Mambo/Joomla developers to MiaCMS development… I have a few unreleased CMS, Forums, Video Management systems over at code.google.com.

Yeah, because we Filipinos are hard to please. “But it seems that the local online community doesn’t have enough “fans”?”

Proprietary software is still profitable compared to open source products. “Perhaps open source is simply too irrelevant for Filipinos, who honestly have more pressing concerns in their lives.” – Yep, this is obviously the main reason – financial constraints.

One is a card game development framework called Drac (http://drac-cardlib.sourceforge.net), this has been ported to various platforms including the Nokia 770 tablet device which is linux based. Another one is an open source tongits game (http://tong-its.blogspot.com) which is rather crappy compared to my current closed-source shareware tongits game (not to say that closed source software is better than open source). I also have a few small projects that I had plans to release as open source but haven't done so yet. I also contribute code snippets through my Adobe Flex blog http://ricoonflex.wordpress.com.
