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.

If you remember my post regarding the “Proudly Pinoy” Logo Design Competition, yesterday was the deadline for submission and also the day that the winner would be announced.

The total number of entries submitted reached 297. I’m sure if the competition lasted longer there would’ve been more entries. Anyways, the turn out was good even though the competition ran for only a month. The designers sent in their best work and the judges did a good job with the selection.

The winning entry is this logo sent in by Joe Talisic:

Proudly Pinoy Logo Design Winner

If you’re a Filipino and proud to be one, then display this logo on your website or blog. There are currently two sizes available: large, medium and small. Requirements for using this logo is that you can’t modify the logo except to resize it and to link the logo back to Proudly Pinoy.

Aside from the winning entry, here are my other favorite entries:


designer: brownspank - Runner-up


designer: Bien - People’s Favorites


designer: DELEKET - People’s Favorites


designer: MELISSAP - Most creative entry

To see the complete list of entries, visit the competition archive.

Kudos to the people who organized this worthy cause. Looking forward to more competitions and events like this. Can’t help but say that I’m Proudly Pinoy!
