WordCamp San Francisco!
Next Saturday, May 1, the WordPress community of bloggers, developers, designers and friends will gather in San Francisco for the 4th annual WordCamp SF.
If you’ve ever wondered what WordCamp was all about, the San Francisco event is the mothership, produced under the direction of WordPress co-founder and lead developer Matt Mullenweg.
There are traditions. Each WordCamp SF, Matt reports on the “State of the Word” and invites accomplished speakers who have inspired him over the previous year. This year’s confirmed speakers include Richard Stallman, the father of Free Software; Scott Berkun, bestselling author of The Myths of Innovation; and Scott Rosenberg, co-founder of Salon.com. Several more luminaries who’ll be speaking will be announced this coming week on the WordCamp SF blog.
More traditions: in addition to the keynotes, there will be talks and tracks for bloggers and developers, lightning talks on a wide range of WordPress topics, all the BBQ you can eat at lunch, commemorative t-shirts and stickers, and an afterparty at the worldwide web famous Automattic Lounge.
If you’re in the Bay Area, or can be, you should meet up with all of us at WordCamp San Francisco.
Get your ticket today and join us next Saturday!
