What’s your most memorable blogger event?
Jayvee Fernandez of A Bugged Life asks, what’s your most memorable blogger event?
I think it’s a great poll question for Filipino bloggers. The long list of choices shows how much blogging has penetrated the local internet community. So far the most popular even is the 2007 b5media Blogger Mixer @ Kape Isla, followed by iBlog4.

WordCamp Philippines Venue, Topics, Call for Sponsors
What’s the latest with the planning stages of WordCamp Philippines? Three major things. First, a venue has been finalized: College of St. Benilde in Taft Ave., Manila. Since the actual city of this WordCamp event has been decided upon, I think it’s fair to call it “WordCamp Manila” as well, in the tradition of the first WordCamp, which was in San Francisco.
Next up are the topics. No speakers have been announced yet, although we’re expecting—right now it’s hoping—some very famous names in the WordPress community to drop by. In the meantime, some ideas for the sessions during WordCamp have been posted, and you can leave your own suggestions through the contact form.
Finally, some money matters. Sponsorship packages have been posted, which not only give you an idea of how much needs to be spent for this event to be a success, but it also hints at the goodies WordCamp participants will be receiving.
So things are finally shaping up for the very first WordCamp Philippines. If you haven’t marked your calendars yet, again, it’s on September 6th. See you there!
WordCamp Philippines on September 6 (UPDATED May 14)
A date has been set for the first ever WordCamp Philippines: October 25. Mark your calendars! Update (May 14): Scratch that. Blogie says the date has been changed to September 6 to fit Matt Mullenweg’s schedule. So Matt’s actually coming! Big big news you guys!
As for the venue, it is sure that it will be held in Metro Manila. This could mean a doubly difficult task for the event organizers considering they’re from down south—Mindanao, to be specific.
There are no details on the event program yet, but there will be at least two simultaneous tracks: one for developers and the other for non-developers. Here’s hoping at least one prominent figure in the international WordPress community will visit our shores! Who do you want to come? Matt Mullenweg? Lorelle VanFossen? Mark Ghosh? Hey, we can dream, right?
