The Bayanihan Project began in 2001 as the pioneer initiative towards the creation of an alternative and open source desktop solution by the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI), an attached agency of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) committed to the research on and development of Philippine microelectronics as well as information and communication technologies. Throughout the years, the Bayanihan Team has yielded several products including Bayanihan Desktop, BLTCM, and BL Server. Since the project's launch, the Bayanihan Team has also conducted trainings and lectures on their products as well as on the Free/Open Source Software (F/OSS) philosophy, basic Linux concepts, F/OSS applications such as OpenOffice.org, among others. Bayanihan has been and will continue to be promoted primarily for use in the education sector, government, and SME's.
