WordCamp Philippines

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.

Although JaypeeOnline didn’t win the Technology category, it was a fun and learning experience for me being a part of this year’s Philippine Blog Awards. It’s also nice to know that there are people who believe in you and support you. Again, I’d like to say thank you to all my readers and everyone who supported me and my blog.

Btw, does anyone have a video of the Awards Night? Maybe you can share it on YouTube..or anyone knows where I get it? I really wanna watch it! Thanks! :)

    The event was recorded, and they say it’s going to air on RPN 9. When, I don’t really know. Boo. Someone could record it for you, maybe, and upload it. If I were only not in dial-up….LOL
