After taking into account several salient considerations surrounding the 1st Mindanao Bloggers Summit and the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress, the MBS1 organizing team has unanimously decided to set the Summit’s date on 27 October 2007 (Saturday). This is final. We apologize if this slight flip-flopping with the Summit’s event date has caused confusion or conflict.
So let’s move forward!
The program is steadily filling to the brim! We just might make the Summit a whole-day affair, instead of just a half day. There’s still time, however, for you to request for more talks — if you’d like to see more topics, please let us know and we’ll see what we can do!
In the interim, we’re going to have a blogging contest, which will be open to everybody, but will involve Mindanao blogs. This contest will start around August. We’re going to announce the details and mechanics as soon as we’ve firmed them up (and as soon as we have sponsors on board). But here’s a hint: it’s going to involve the Mindanao Blogs Directory!
As a fundraiser, we’re going to sell MindanaoBloggers t-shirts, to be designed by Jojie Alcantara. As soon as we have the design, we’ll post a mini-storefront here for everyone to see! 
Please support this as funds from the sales of our t-shirts will go towards ensuring a successful MBS1.
