WordCamp Philippines

If you’re a Pinoy blogger or a WordPress user/fan then most likely you’ve heard or read of this already. But in case you haven’t, I have good news for you. There will be a WordCamp held in the Philippines this coming September 6, 2008. If you don’t know what I’m talking about here’s a little info.

What is WordCamp?

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people. WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. - Weblog Tools Collection

WordCamp Philippines will be the first ever WordCamp organized and held in Asia. WordCamp Philippines is being organized by a group of Filipino bloggers based in Mindanao who were also responsible for organizing the successful 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit held last year.

What are the objectives of WordCamp Philippines?

…to encourage more developers to use and deploy WordPress, not only as a blogging engine but also as a full-featured content management system for Web sites. Another is to increase the number of WordPress users and developers in the country. By developers, we mean programmers of WordPress plugins and designers of themes & templates.

Jose Sway Penala

Finally! This morning was the first time for me to watch Jose “Sway” Penala perform live eversince I posted my first entry about him.

After the girls had their turn last episode, it was now the boys turn to strut their stuff. Sway chose the song “Reasons” by Earth, Wind and Fire. He sang most of the song in falsetto and in the last part went back to his natural voice. This impressed Randy and Paula. But not Simon, for him it was “pimpish”.

I think his performance was great. It showed good range and a variety in his part. Talent and personalitywise, I believe that he has what it takes to be a great performer and to win this contest and that he has a better chance to win it than Jasmin Trias did last year. But it all depends on the fans who send in their votes.

    His performance was one of the most anticipated for me but I have to admit that I wasn’t blown away. He does have a great voice but he has to be more careful with his song selection.

    i agree that song selection is very crucial in this competition. we saw several talented people lose in the previous contests because of the wrong choice of songs.
