The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Wed, 10/22/2008 4:41 PM | Jakarta
Information and Communication Minister Mohammad Nuh said on Wednesday that Jakarta would host this year’s national blogger gathering on Saturday, heralding the theme “Blogging for Society”.
Nuh said the event was to be titled Pesta Blogger 2008 and would be held in the BPPT II building on Jl M.H. Thamrin, Central Jakarta. Nuh added that the gathering would be attended by the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia Cameron R. Hume.
“To establish an information-based society, we need creativity. Events like this undoubtedly give people room to express themselves,” Nuh said, as quoted by kompas.com.
The event’s administrative chairman, Wicaksono, said bloggers from across Indonesia would participate, and that his team expected to double the attendance levels seen at last year’s gathering.
“We hope this event will make a positive contribution to society,” Wicaksono said. (and)
