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.

Wanna help in the fight against child pornography? Light a candle.

I found out about this from Connie’s latest post. I’ve lit a candle in support to this very worthy cause and I’m blogging about this in the hopes of spreading the word faster and to help the cause reach its goal before December 31st.

What it is about:

The innocent victims of Internet child abuse cannot speak for themselves. But you can.

With your support, we can eradicate this evil trade.

We do not need your money.

We need you to light a candle of support.

We’re aiming to light One Million Candles by December 31, 2006.

This petition will be used to put pressure on governments, politicians, financial institutions, payment organisations, Internet service providers, technology companies and law enforcement agencies who have the power to work together to eradicate the commercial viability of online child abuse.

They have the power to work together. You have the power to get them to take action.

Please light your candle at lightamillioncandles.com or send an email to light@lightamillioncandles.com.

Together, we can destroy the commercial viability of Internet child abuse sites that are destroying the lives of innocent children.

Kindly forward this email to your friends, relatives and work colleagues so that they can light a candle too.

click here to light your candle.

Thanks to Connie for sharing this information.

    Im a bit disturbed with how they made the children look like. Were they supposed to be hot? Oh no! Don’t judge meee….

    @benj - You should be on the show “To Catch a Predator”. Hehe..Just kidding.:D

    This is a great initiative. Children should not be made to pay with their futures so that an adult may self-gratify. No one should be made to pay at the expense of another. I’ve got 3 kids of my own.

    @Keith - Exactly! One of the rights of a child is to be protected from sexual exploitation. As responsible parents and adults, we should do everything we can to ensure the safety and welfare of our children.

    Thanks for the comment and for dropping by! :)
