WordCamp Philippines 2008 — a success!

The recently-concluded WordCamp Philippines 2008, the first international bloggers event in the country, was a success in several ways. Foremost is the learning that the participants were able to go through during the whole exercise. Judging by the blog posts after WordCamp, the campers certainly appreciated what they came for.

Second, it was a success for the Mindanao Bloggers community. Since the core organizing team held the MB standard high during the whole endeavor, MindanaoBloggers.com has certainly reaped more online visibility, to say the least. But more than that, a heightened consciousness of the existence of our bloggers’ community has been achieved. Ultimately, I hope that this will translate to an increased awareness of the real deal in Mindanao. I hope that more bloggers (and therefore their blogs’ readers) will come to realize that Mindanao is a rich and diverse and beautiful land.

I won’t forget that Matt Mullenweg said that he’d love to come back to Davao City. Hopefully, next time, we’ll be able to bring him to see other parts of the Philippine South.

Please read more about the success of WordCamp Philippines on the official site.

I would like to thank all the sponsors and volunteers who have made WordCamp in the Philippines a memorable and enjoyable experience! In particular, Cebu Pacific, for whom we are running a blogging contest called the Cebu Pacific Blogging Challenge. Check it out! You have a chance to win a roundtrip ticket!

In behalf of my colleagues, I invite you to join the Mindanao Bloggers in advancing the objectives of our group: to tell the world about the real Mindanao.
