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.



Wordpress.com URL as an OpenID

Recently I talked about OpenID, what it is and how it works. A few hours ago, it was announced on the Wordpress.com blog that Wordpress.com users can now use their Wordpress.com URLs as an OpenID. That’s good news for me and for others who wanna try it, coz I’ve been wanting to try out OpenID and I don’t have to create one since I already have a Wordpress.com account.

Now that I have my OpenID, where can I use it? Good question. Aside from the Web 2.0 startups who are using and implementing the OpenID system, the more popular sites that use OpenID are Technorati, LiveJournal and Movable Type weblogs to mention a few. I think it won’t be long until Wordpress weblogs would also implement this system.

Learn more about OpenID from the Wordpress.com FAQs. Or if you want to know what other sites use OpenID, check out the OpenID Site Directory.

    I’ve read it and I have no clue what this thing do - innovation? simply cool? But at least, you don’t need to worry about creating many passwords when you sign-up to any of these (mentioned above) popular sites.

    So you have a wp.com account?

    Not bad at all. I have an OpenID and I use it for my zooomr account. Now that it’s merged with your WordPress.com url, everything would be a bit smoother.

    @K - The goal of OpenID is to make web identity centralized so users won’t have to created different usernames and passwords for different sites. Yeah, I have do have a Wordpress.com account but I haven’t updated it in ages. I use it when this blog is down or offline. :D

    @jhay - Yup. This OpenID thing is catching like wild fire especially after AOL and Digg announced that they would implement this system. :)
