Save the date: WordCamp Portland on for 9/27
After the last BarCamp Portland a month or so ago, Aaron Hockley wanted to spearhead a similar informal Saturday un-conference for WordPress users, developers, and/or designers - or even for WordPress wanna be’s, for that matter.
While I don’t fall into either category, I’d already blocked September 27th off on my calendar and am volunteering my time to help make this happen - I really loved the energy at BarCamp & am a total WordPress idiot savant (brilliant at some things, not so hot at others), so am thrilled to see this coming together.
Aaron’s worked hard to find a space (thanks, CubeSpace!), a date, and even some tentative guest speakers (if you want to be part of the planning process - we could use someone to help find sponsors, for example - feel free to join the WordCamp Portland Google Group.) And now, there’s even a WordCamp Portland website!
There’ll be more news later, of course - but for now, we want you to a) save the date, and b) let us know you’re interested via the Upcoming links available.
(Thanks to Reid Beels for his work here getting the site up and running…)
Thanks for helping to spread the word. I do want to clarify that we haven’t determined the exact format for the event. While I intend to keep things relatively simple, it may not be the same unconference format as BarCamp.
