Weblog Tools Collection, Wordcamp is
"a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people." When WordCamp 2008 Philippines (first WordCamp in Southeast Asia) was looking for a
