Wordcamp Philippines

A lot of people were wondering what happened to my blog after becoming idle for a couple of months. I’ve been very busy with my studies in Cebu City that I was not able to find time for my blog. But that didn’t stop me from getting involved with blogging.

Last Thursday, I flew to Manila for the most awaited event, the WordCamp Philippines 2008. Five months ago, we started doing our preparations for the event in Davao and Manila. But I am very glad that the 8-hour event turned out successfully.

Hundreds of WordPress users and developers attended Southeast Asia’s first WordCamp. The event was graced by the presence of the creator of WordPress Matt Mullenweg.

The success of WordCamp Philippines 2008 won’t be possible without the collaboration of the members of the organizing team, the sponsors, the blogger and student volunteers.

Link love to they volunteers, new friends, and plurk buddies.
