What is WordCamp?
From the WordCamp Birmingham about page:
“Take some passionate WordPress users and folks interested in blogging from throughout Alabama and the Southeastern United States. Add an incredible weekend of activities already happening here in The Magic City and of course, barbecue!
Throw in a keynote by Automattic founder Matt Mullenweg and you get WordCamp Birmingham 2009!
Join WordPress users from all over as we come together as enthusiasts, bloggers, developers, podcasters and designers to learn more about where our favorite open source software currently is and where it’s possibly going.”
As a WordPress newbie, I plan on attending WordCamp Birmingham and cannot wait to see what all they have in store. I know it will be a great learning experience, and the list of speakers is already quite impressive. I also noticed (and wondered if this was by design) that this event falls on a weekend where the SEC college football match ups are not very compelling. Saturdays during the college football season are most often dedicated to spending quality time with Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Lee Corso. I guess they will just have to do without me for one Saturday.
