A great way to learn more about WordPress and meet people from the WordPress community is to attend WordCamp.
What is WordCamp ? It’s an “informal gathering of WordPress users where we teach, learn, eat, drink and generally have fun with one another.”
Dallas WordCamp will be held in the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center in Frisco, Texas on March 29th and 30th of this year.
At the last WordCamp in San Francisco this past summer, it was great to see the strong turnout and diverse set of attendees and presenters. Jeremy Zilar of the New York Times captured it well on this blog post:
Well, camp is over, and all the campers have returned back to their nests. For those of you that missed out on the event, I would highly consider attending WordCamp 2008.
For more information & registration options for this upcoming Dallas WordCamp, please visit dallas.wordcamp.org.
I’m looking forward to the event, hope to see everyone there.
Oh fantastic!
I am looking forward to coming!
