The Bohol Information and Communications Technology Council held its monthly meeting on July 3, 2015 at the Buzzz Cafe at Galleria Luisa in Tagbilaran City Bohol. The meeting was presided by the council’s chairperson Ms. Lai Biliran.
Ms. Biliran highlighted the various activities lined up that the council should lead or at least participate. In particular, she said that the Sandugo-Maker Fest activity which is part of the Sandugo celebration this year, should be promoted and attended by the tech community as the speakers are authorities in entrepreneurship and technology.
Details about the Tech4Ed and TVWS (TV whitespace) were also discussed with the Google Educators Group representative and the DOST-ICTO representative as these projects by the Department of Science and Technology should be strongly supported by the council in order to help make impact in the countryside by bringing digital content for education even in informal setting.
Another initiative that the council will contribute is on ‘Rural Impact Sourcing’ which is aimed at generating online jobs at the rural areas to help generate jobs without requiring workers to leave their homes.
Other topics discussed where the Business Process Management Stakeholders Forum, the ICT Stakeholders Forum, NICP Summit, Startup Weekend, Maker Competition, Service Management Program and DIGIBayan initiative.
