WordCamp. Why Join?

Jul 15, 2008 Personal

WordCamp Philippines badge1

Well, I have already successfully registered. I am on my way to being part of that event – a certain first here in the Philippines. I am talking about WordCamp Philippines 2008.

What’s my purpose now in wanting to join WordCamp? Well, my main reason would be that I would like to learn even more about WordPress. Tons of websites do use WordPress and I would like to gain more knowledge on what else I could do with it. There sure is a reason why most people choose WordPress over other hosting sites. With my joining WordCamp, I would be able to discover just what makes WordPress stay on top.

Now, that was one of my purposes in joining WordCamp. I have yet another reason why I chose to register. See, I would also want to meet new people and make friends. I know that sounds so cliché but the truth is, being friends with people online are far different from getting to know people face to face. Living in a world where I am online most of the time leaves me not much time to meet up with these online friends I’ve made. This event is one chance for me to meet my online friends personally. It would also be a blast meeting these blogging and online celebrities. I could name them all but there are so many of them.

Those are my two main reasons why I chose to join WordCamp. I am sure that it would be quite interesting. Thanks to Mindanao Bloggers, this event is going to push through. Of course, the organizers of this event have got sponsors to thank. And the list includes:

All I do now is wait for the date to arrive. And that would be the time when we would all troop to the venue and be part of WordCamp2008.
