Aside from these breakaway talks, we’ve also prepared some talks for our Plenary Session. And of course, we all get to listen to Matt Mullenweg, lead developer of WordPress.

See you on October 2, 2010! :)

    I already know this topics… Is there any topic that will discuss about XMLRPC using 3rd party Application that will bridge my website (wordpress platform) to another application (Mail Server) Global Mailer, I think this is possible…. But my is there a way to configure XMLRPC as global application that will insert data to our Mail server? By the way we have 8 websites and each one of them has its own XMLRPC that every time a user send info using a php form it will send data to our Mail Server Backup.

    These are just breakaway talks. There are other topics covered in the plenary session that are yet to be announced.

    Topics were chosen based on the feedback provided on the WordCamp Philippines Survey which was conducted months ago. This was to ensure that topics which majority of the participants wanted covered were included.

    Regarding topics that were dropped or merged, we had to prioritize with the limited time we have for the event. We have 15 topics and speakers for the breakaway talks alone. Add to that the plenary talks.

    If the organizers accommodated everyone, we will need at least 2 days for the event.

    I hope this clears things up.
