Word Camp Philippines
The 1st ever Word Camp event in South East Asia commenced yesterday in the Philippines, with Mr. WordPress himself, Matt Mullenweg in attendance.
Close to 400 bloggers trooped to De La Salle University- College of Saint Benilde to have fun, learn about blogging from basics to tech and geek stuffs, connect with other bloggers and get personal with Matt.
Word Camp is one of the big blog events scheduled on the 2nd half of the year. Bloggers from different niche, newbies and veterans alike, took time off from their day time jobs and/or from their online habits for a whole day. One of the highlights of the event is the presentation of WordPress version 2.7 which will be launched on November.

wow… galing naman, you’re able to attend the real wordcamp tlaga, unlike the mini wordcamp here in davao which is just a gathering… but still happy to have met MATT MULLENWEG in person though…
Yeah, it’s good the organizers are able to make this happen, specially the meet-up at Davao.
Won’t they be holding like this in Cebu?
Tsk2 I’d love to attend blog events like this. But I am not from Manila so I can’t. And I haven’t heard events like this in Cebu. I hope there will be one…
