Tomorrow is THE Day. Team 8lien is holding its first ever SFD celebration. And the seats are already filled!
We're all excited, and here's me hoping that those who signed up are sharing the same excitement as I do.
This early, we thank IBM, Intel, PLDT, IOSN and UR Solutions for supporting us through the event.
