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.

UPDATED: 01/07/07

Wordpress 2.0.6 was released 3 hours ago and it includes an important security fix. All Wordpress users are advised to download and install this latest release.

What’s new for this version:

* The aforementioned security fixes.
* HTML quicktags now work in Safari browsers.
* Comments are filtered to prevent them from messing up your blog layout.
* Compatibility with PHP/FastCGI setups.

Me, I’m gonna wait for a few days and see if there are any problems with this Wordpress version before I go and install it. A lot of users complained about having problems after installing and upgrading to the previous version, Wordpress 2.0.5. For the meantime, I’ll just go ahead and download it and wait for the right time to install it.

UPDATE:
I’ve just upgraded to Wordpress 2.0.6. I recommend that you should do too to fix any security flaws that your blogs might have.

    Let me know once you decided to upgrade to 2.0.6.
    I’m thinking to upgrade mine too.

    @jim - I’ve already upgraded to 2.0.6 this morning. I just wanted to make sure that the security flaws were fixed ASAP.

    I’m holding off updating my WP install until they fix the Feedburner issue. I’ve already patched templates.php so I’m assured that I won’t be hacked. ;)

    So basically, I’m just waiting for 2.1 :p

    @ade - I was also thinking of doing that but since WP 2.0.6 already addresses that issue, I decided to go on with the upgrade. I can’t wait for the stable version of 2.1 hehe :D
