me :)
i am the founder, and the foundation basically is the idea of Rick
Higgins and Geoff Zeis, about me ;)
but because my background is start from Java OpenSource movement so i
have a fullstack java education program here, and we extend become
jTechnopreneur Program, right now i am managing several vocational
high school, and universities, under meruvian network
we have offices all over java island, and right now we just have 2
material from Geoff Zeiss for MapGUide and Arnulf (Map Server)
but we have working together in Indonesia since 2003 with Geoff and Rick .
i believe my offices (Jakarta, Bandung, Jogja, Surabaya), next month
in Malang will help penetrate the program
i am also the head of enterprise opensource program in indonesian open
source asosiasion (http://www.aosi.or.id)
