As you can see, we have two folks from Mozilla HQ who will be here to speak at the event. Also, Yahoo! Philppines and Globe are supporting the event, with a speaker each.

I’ll post updates on the finalized program by next week.

Unfortunately, the slots for the Manila leg are sold out. All slots were claimed in less than 24 hours after the event was announced in Facebook and Twitter. There is a shortlist, so people can sign up at the registration site and get a slot once someone cancels or new slots are opened.

For provincial events, there will be a leg in Zamboanga. The details for that event will follow.

Things are pretty high right now with the huge launch of Mozilla Firefox 4. I’m sure the global launch events are going to be awesome! 😀
