Update: Developer’s Day Is Now Sold Out

May 11, 2012 by WordCamp.org • Comments Off on Update: Developer’s Day Is Now Sold Out

We’re happy to announce Developer Day Austin, an all-day event taking place Sunday, May 20, the day after WordCamp.

This event is meant for WordCamp Austin attendees who are WordPress developers, the folks who’ve written a plugin, created a theme, are at home reading code from Core. The ones who add_action() in their sleep, contribute code to the community, speak CSS as a second language. LESS is more, they’re responsive and jQuery UI is EASEy. Query_var()? Only if ( is_main_query() ). If ( TRUE != the above ), you might want to pass on this add-on to WordCamp Austin 2012

Two WordCamp Austin Tickets available through sponsor!

May 3, 2012 by WordCamp.org • 1 Comment

Missed a ticket for our sold-out WordCamp? Lots of people did. 🙁

However, I just noticed that one of our sponsors, A Small Orange Community, is holding a contest to give away two extra tickets to WordCamp Austin 2012.

If you enter it before midnight TONIGHT, you may be able to snag a ticket.

Check out their newsletter to enter: A Small Orange Community. You do have to answer a little quiz, BTW. Then it’s all luck!

Good luck! We’d love to see you there.

WordCamp Austin 2012 Ticketing — Oh My!

April 23, 2012 by WordCamp.org • 3 Comments

This was the first year we used the WordCamp.org ticketing process.

To try to be as fair as possible, we released the tickets in waves.

Our goal was to give everybody a shot at getting tickets no matter what their work schedule.

For the most part, we reached that egalitarian goal…

There were however, some serious systemic hiccups.

We did not capture the data we need.

In order for us to order the right mix of food — veggie vs. BBQ and to get our Tee shirt order right, we needed our ticket buyers to fill out the form that was part of the ticketing process.

About 50% of our ticketed attendees, either did not have a chance to get that information in before the ticketing plugin timed out; or were so  happy to get the ticket bought and paid for they left site before filing out the required information.

We will be contacting these ticket holders Tuesday and Wednesday of this week with an online form to gather the information we need.

The tee shirt order has to go in by Thursday PM so please respond right away.

If you don’t  respond to the form, we will declare you a fan of BBQ who wears a size large shirt.

For those who missed out on tickets for this year…

Some of our Sponsors may not use their assigned tickets.

By next week we know if we have a few more tickets to make available for sale.

If we do have a few more tickets available, we will post it on this site, our Facebook page and we will tweet it.

All of the WordCamp Austin 2012 sessions will be recorded and available on WordPress.tv.

Thanks for your support of WordCampAustin 2012!

WordCamp Austin 2012!

February 25, 2012 by WordCamp.org • Comments Off on WordCamp Austin 2012!

What is WordCamp?

WordCamps are casual, locally-organized, non-profit conferences covering everything related toWordPress, the free and open source personal publishing software that powers millions of  sites on the web. One of the best things about WordCamps is they are based on a open source philosophy where everyone participates by contributing what they can. It may be that you want to support WordCamp by volunteering to help plan, or work the event. Perhaps you have WordPress knowledge, skill and experiences you wish to share as a presenter or maybe you can expand the WordPress Community by reaching out to help a fellow camper. WordCamp Austin 2012 is very much a community event, being organized by the members of Austin WordPress Meetup Group.

This year’s WordCamp will include sessions from basic WordPress user information for Bloggers to CMS for WordPress site development and responsive design. The session topics are being driven by suggestions submitted by the Austin WordPress Community. WordCamp presentations and discussions are led by people who are passionate about WordPress, and everyone from casual end users, all the way up to core developers, show up for WordCamps. The types of sessions typically seen at WordCamps can be viewed at the WordCamp channel atWordPress.tv.
