Cisco would like to invite all of you on board the Cisco Express-NoW roadshow, where you can experience Cisco technology like never before. The event will be held on February 6, 2008 at the Laguna Technopark Hotel. ASITEP is endorsing this event and it shall be the first event for 2008 so we would like to encourage you all to attend.

The Cisco Express which is a mobile showcase of Cisco’s latest technologies and solutions housed inside a 40-foot container is one of the highlights of the event. This event will be a good opportunity to experience interactive and hands-on demos presented by Cisco experts.

We look forward to seeing you at this event. To know more about the event please visit the event website:

First Post / (Post suggestions here)

Hi ASITEP colleagues!
I hope this will be a useful venue for us.
All of you are most welcome to post.

I will probably create different categories for announcements, technical forums, benchmarking, industry news, and bulletins relevant for our group, so that information sharing will be more organized and useful.

I'm still trying to figure out how to fully tap its features, but we can easily share files, documents, pictures, etc.
For example, I posted my photo-here, check if it works.

I'll probably also add a miscellaneous category for current events, politics, sports and showbiz gossip :-)

Please give further suggestions and ideas.

Happy blogging!
- Willy Jose
