Zamboanga Peninsula Bloggers Meetup

As we are planning to organize a bloggers event here in the Zamboanga Peninsula Region, we scheduled to have a short meetup last Tuesday, September 30 ,2008 at Mr. Bean Cafe, Catribo Complex. We talked about some possible bloggers project and outreach programs, aside from having the 1st Zamboanga Peninsula Bloggers Congress early next year. It was initially planned to have the event this November but then the group decided to move it early next year to give us ample time for preparation.

Here are some photos taken during the meetup:

jetRuby is trying to explore Macromedia Fireworks, told her that I use that tool for simple image editing.

Here we are, some bloggers from Zamboanga City. We also have representatives from other areas but they were not able to make it that night.

Planning for the 1st Zamboanga Peninsula Bloggers Meetup

I was about to sleep last Wednesday and I just can’t. Early this week, I was thinking of organizing an event for bloggers here in the Zamboanga Peninsula Region. I was just inspired by the very active participation of the Davao bloggers over Mindanao Bloggers where they organized the 1st WordCamp Philippines, which I will fly to Manila next Friday to attend this event. I’m excited already.

Anyway, what I did next was created a group message over YM and email, a Friendster Bulletin, and posted an announcement over my Multiply account. After taking a short nap, I checked my inbox and glad some responded my invitation.  Thanks to all who responded.

After few days, now I have with me Ms. Yolynne Medina, Mr. RJ Ian Sevilla, Mr. Ryann Elumba, and Ms. Jessica Partosa to help us organize the event. Our tentative meeting will be Septermber 14 (Sunday evening). And for those who are interested in helping us out in planning, please drop us a comment or message. We will post more details about this upcoming event. Tentative schedule for the Zamboanga Peninsula Bloggers Meetup will be a day between last week of October to 1st week of November… Just keep posted. Thanks.
