racoma.com.phJ. Angelo Racoma on technology, economics, writing, problogging, and getting things done

One of the benefits of beng in the problogging circuit is that you get invited to attend all sorts of events. Sometimes you get invited as part of the audience, but sometimes as part of the panel. Earlier this year, I assisted the Friedrich-Naumann Foundation on the Podcasting portion of its first Blogging and Podcasting Seminar. I also helped produce the last three episode of the Liberal Times Manila Podcast. This July, they will be holding another seminar, entitled “Express Yourself” Reloaded.

Problogger extraordinaire Abe Olandres will also be speaking (again) for the blogging portion of the seminar, while this blogger would give a presentation on the basics of podcasting. Here’s what’s exciting: participants get to set up their own podcasts, which will be published on the FNF website. So sign up and get the chance to be an internet star (like Mikey here. Really).

*Update: The seminar inclusive dates have been changed from July 4-7 to July 4-6.*

Details as follows, from the FNF website

Join the Friedrich Naumann Foundation’s workshop on Weblogs and Podcasts as political tools in 4-6 July 2006.
