The Bluepoint Institute of Higher Technology Foundation (Bluepoint) continues bringing Linux and Open Source technologies to Filipinos nationwide as it hits the road this 2003. Patterned after the highly successful One Linux Day event of 2000, the Bluepoint Road Tour 2003 is a yearlong round trip from Manila and back, with stops in Baguio, Batangas, and Iloilo. This tour is made possible with the help of American Power Conversion and Computerworld Philippines.

CPU is a non-stock, non-profit Christian Institution of higher learning, where a well-rounded program of education is offered under influences that strengthen faith and build up character. It was founded in 1905 as the Jaro Industrial School by missionaries of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. In 97 years, CPU has grown from an elementary school with 17 pupils to a widely known university with an enrollment of over 12,000. The 24-hectare campus, which was originally chosen for its quiet and relative isolation, is now a veritable community by itself, with more than 30 buildings used for classrooms and support facilities.
