PROFILE & PROJECTS IN 2015
WHO WE ARE PWDO is a grassroots, non-profit organization that aims to uplift the local web design industry in the Philippines by championing professionalism and excellence in crafting interfaces for the Web. To accomplish this, our core team of volunteers organizes conferences, meet-ups, and hackathons to sharpen the skills of Filipino web designers & developers, from students to professionals.
We believe that you can help us achieve our goals, and we can help you achieve yours.
OUR STORY PWDO started in September 2008, when several of us gathered because we wanted to have a web design conference in the Philippines. We held the first MiniFFC meet-up by the end of October, registered with the SEC as a non-stock, non-profit corporation in March 2009, and on July 10 th launched the first <form> function &.class conference. Since then we ve expanded our conference format to include workshops, created a Junior FFC for students, held a code camp on Ruby on Rails for Designers, and organized a pro-bono website building hackathon for charities/non-profits called Caritakathon. We ve done all this on our own free time. Get the whole story at http://medium.com/@pwdo
