WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress; for casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other. WordCamp Malaysia 2010 is the first WordCamp to be held in Malaysia! It?s happening on the 22nd of May 2010, Cititel Mid Valley. Read More here.

The parcel was sent on yesterday and we received it this afternoon. Fast! Thank you PosLaju and WCMY’s organizer, Simon to be specific. This goodies somewhat cure our heartache for not able to attend the first WordCamp in Malaysia.

There is Kaspersky Anti Virus licenses, T-shirt, and WordPress Schwag (WordPress pencil, stickers, pink pins!, and temporary tattoos all the way from San Fransisco). How sweet! Maybe next time we can have WordPress table lighting, mousepad, etc?

Both T-shirt is M size, definitely too big for me, but never mind. I still love the design, referring to the M word in Petronas twin tower shape. And the quote “Code is poetry” is very true for my boy – the geeky hubby.

We’re so looking forward to attend the next WordCamp Malaysia (or Asia) and maybe would like to involve in sponsorship again. Hopefully it won’t crash again with whatever plan that we will have later.

P.S. Happy birthday WordPress! Seven years and you’re going stronger.

Last 2 years I heard about WordCamp in Philippine, where the founder of WordPress (Matt Mullenweg) flew all the way to Manila. Followed by that event, Indonesia had its first WordCamp in Jakarta. But I heard nothing from Malaysia. I was like,”Hey, Ain’t Malaysia always one step forward from Indonesia?”

Well, thanks to the people who want to make thing happens, Malaysia will have its first WordCamp on May 22nd at Mid Valley. from 8am to 5pm. Registration is open at WordCamp MY site, only RM150 per person. Super worthy consider you will get to broaden your knowledge, get to networking with several other like-minded people (WordPress enthusiasts, webdeveloper, etc), get free stuffs (better than hip hop clothes; there is Kaspersky Anti Virus licenses etc), meal is included too.

My boy and I did show our support too by being the Gold sponsor. But unfortunately we won’t be attending the event as we just came back from our honeymoon trip. Btw, we managed to meet up for lunch with one of WordCamp MY’s organizers, during our short visit to KL (after Bali) on last Wednesday. We will be eyeing for the next WordCamp though, be it in Singapore, Indonesia or Malaysia.
