The 1st BarCamp Manila was a huge success. The i.ph Team was there to present Google Gears integrated with i.ph and iPhone Development. I saw some familiar faces like Janette Toral and Rico Sta Cruz. I was surprised to see Arvin San Andress, a classmate in college. I didn't recognized him at first because we were only classmates in a couple of subjects. I also talked to Mae Paulino about the template designs she is doing for i.ph.
This concept of BarCamp has been in my mind as early as April 2007. In fact, I was the first one who created the wiki page. See below.
I even asked Maricris to help me organize the event but the problem is I became so busy with work and some other things. Anyway, hats off to Jerome Gotangco for organizing this event.
I'll post some pix later.
