Inspired by the activeness of local bloggers, Ted Padova — Davao’s resident Adobe expert and co-founder of ApoVisions.com — has come up with a plan to organize high-value seminars primarily for Mindanao bloggers. It’ll be a series of teach-ins that will arm Dabawenyos with gainful knowledge in various I.T. fields.
Of course, Ted is more than willing to impart his expertise in Adobe products, particularly Acrobat, PhotoShop, InDesign, and others. For my part, I have volunteered to contribute my meager knowledge in WordPress and CSS.
Dennis Agulo is also on board. He’s a PHP developer who’s certified in Zend, so you can expect what he’ll be bringing to the table. Dennis has also promised to treat us to beer!
The beer will be for the planning session this Friday (11 July 2008) at Fwendz Diner in Metro Avenue, at the back of Gaisano Mall. For those who’d like to contribute to this effort, see you there at 8pm!
Anyone who’d like to help plan the seminar series and/or contribute his or her know-how is welcome to join us this Friday.

Thanks for your comments, guys!
The meeting went well — we were able to set some expectations, and decide on future movements. Right now, we’re looking for a proper training venue. We’re also making a list of training topics. I’ll post about this some more in the near future!
