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.



Ubuntu Studio

Ubuntu Studio is a new version of the Ubuntu GNU/Linux distribution, released last May 10, 2007. It is based on Ubuntu Linux, and is optimized for general multimedia production. I’m sure a lot of graphic artists, enthusiasts and professionals would love this and would wanna try it out.

Ubuntu Studio’s kernel was modified into a low-latency state for intensive audio work. Installing it is quite different from most Ubuntu based installers as it installs through the text interface. The installation file is bigger compared to other distros so you’ll have to burn and install it from a DVD. Also, Ubuntu Studio’s default user interface is the Gnome.

Here are the more popular programs that are included in Ubuntu Studio:

  • Ardour 2
  • The Gimp
  • Inkscape
  • Blender
  • PiTiVi
  • Kino
  • Cinepaint

Aside from these programs, there are also plugins available for RAW camera files and wacom-tools for Wacom drawing tablets and a lot more.

I still have to download the installation file but I can’t help but like it just by looking at the screenshots. I love the dark theme! Although I don’t do much graphic or image manipulation or audio editing, I still definitely would wanna try Ubuntu Studio and see how it works. If any of you guys have already tried it, please share your opinions and experiences using Ubuntu Studio.

Check out or download Ubuntu Studio.

    My brother has it running since last week. The UI is just jaw-dropping! It’s like the Mac but in black.

    I haven’t been able to play with it or write something about it because it’s always occupied by my brother, he’s chasing deadlines! ;)
