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.

In season three, we had Jasmine Trias and Camile Velasco. Now, we have another kababayan joining the competition.

I just found out today from The Cat that there’s another Fil-American in the fifth season of AI. Jose Penala is one of the 24 finalists who will be sent to Hollywood with the hopes of becoming the next American Idol.

Even now, he already has a fansite, JosePenala.com created by his loyal supporters. You can also see a video of his SF audition in Rickey’s post. Many are saying he might get disqualified becoz he was a part of a group that recorded an album. But then, he’s no longer a part of any group. I just hope he gets through and make it to the top 10 or 5 or 3. Hehe. Pinoy reprezent!
