Pesta Blogger 2007–officially launched!

Finally, we have officially launched Pesta Blogger 2007 yesterday in Anomali Coffee, Jakarta Selatan. Though lots of bloggers in the blogosphere have discussed about this gathering for quite a while, yesterday’s briefing was very alive with questions and discussions generated by our journalist friends.

For those of you who haven’t heard about this event, Pesta Blogger 2007 is the 1st national-scale blogger gathering in Indonesia that will be held on October 27, 2007.

The theme is “Suara Baru Indonesia”, whereby we’d like to celebrate the birth of a new generation (bloggers) who have used a new media (blog) to express their thougths in a new paradigm (that is more informal, personal, and opinionated), and have started to form an influential role over the Net.

Thanks to Enda Nasution as the Chairman of Pesta Blogger 2007 and all steering committee members: Budi Putra, Fatih Syuhud, Lita Mariana, Nukman Luthfie, Priyadi, Ratna Ariyanti (Atta), Wicaksono, Wimar Witoelar, and Yosef Ardi who have shaped-up Pesta Blogger 2007; also to Bubu Internet as co-organizer, Depkominfo, Nokia Indonesia, Microsoft Indonesia, The Jakarta Post, Koran Tempo, and Kompas Cyber Media, that have fully supported this event.

For more information about this upcoming bloggers’ celebration, please do visit the official blog pestablogger.com regularly.

Let’s celebrate our ‘voices’, bloggers!
