This month, September 17 and 18, 2011, was special days for some Indonesian Bloggers. They have gathered in an unforgettable moment, place, and of course, memory, in Bekasi Asrama Haji. They have convinced themselves, that Blogger is not ordinary man, due to Blogger is agent of change. Why we should be proud of that Blogger is agent of change? Yes, because Blogger should be creative in letting their mind to write anything which is beneficial for others.

The two days meeting have been motivating and inspiring occasion for all Bloggers. The committee have provided some special programs during the first day up to the second day. The Minister of Communication and Information, Mr. Tiffatul Sembiring has attended the program. In the opening speech, the Minister adressed the member a touching question, “What actually will unify Indonesian people after 2014 or after the big election?” The question will stimulate Bloggers to answer, what things can be adopted to make Indonesia for being the real united Indonesia? Indonesia for all. Of course, this question actually was addressed to all Indonesian people.

There were many well known Blogger figures invited to come to the program. Hosted by Mr. Iman Brotoseno, the IT master, Onno W.
