Matt Mullenweg, the guy behind the WordPress open-source blogging platform, has just announced WordCamp:
August 5th, 2006 is the date, here in the lovely town of San Francisco, California. The idea is a one day BarCamp-style free conference with a party that night. There will be free BBQ for lunch, WordPress t-shirts, and a full day of both user and developer discussion. (“BarCamp-style” is a code phrase for “last minute.”)
I won’t be able to make it, but I’ll be there in spirit. It’s one more dimension of WordPress’s single greatest undocumented feature: its thriving, positive community of users, developers and raving fans.
