Please leave a comment below if you have some ideas you want to make sure we don’t forget for WordCamp Victoria 2010!

One thing we will do at the next event is plan “workshops” out in more detail in advance. Workshops will consist of people sitting around tables facing inward, sharing thoughts on a particular topic, and will be lead by a facilitator. Presentations are great, but adding workshops to the mix will give people … Continue Reading

If you have been waiting to buy your tickets, you don’t want to wait any longer! We have 70 people registered for WordCamp on November 14th, and have tentatively capped the attendance at 80.

We will be visiting the location on Tuesday to see how to accommodate more people without compromising the presentations, or making things uncomfortable or crowded. But don’t delay, as we may have to hold the line at 80 people for this first event.

We are absolutely thrilled to have Lloyd Budd from Automattic come to the event.

Lloyd has agreed to make himself available for questions in the student lounge for a couple hours during the day, and will be featured on The WordCamp Roundup at the end of the day.

For those who haven’t heard of Automattic, they are the company that operates WordPress.com, but they are also the silent genuises behind the whole WordPress revolution. Shhh.

Lloyd also blogs at A Fool’s Wisdom.

Yes, there will be a formal agenda for the day, with speakers, Q&A, workshops, panels, etc.

But there will also be “The Campout”, an opportunity for people to power up their laptops, connect in small groups and share their WordPress experiences with each other in an informal way.

Be Informal … … Continue Reading
