Liz and Lorelle
Just put the finishing touches on my presentation. It’s called, “C’mon Let’s talk.”
I thought I’d send up this post again as a reminder . . .
One might expect to see Lorelle VanFossen, THE Lorelle of Lorelle on WordPress, to be speaking at an event such as WordCamp Dallas. But, I’m delighted to announce that I’ve been invited to participate as well.
The event, WordCamp, was started by WordPress founder, Matt Mullenweg, and has become an international event. Here’s a bit of the history described by the Weblog Tools Collection Blog.
The first WordCamp conference was held in July of 2006 in San Francisco. Matt Mullenweg pulled this event together in only three weeks time and ended up with about 300 people in the Swedish American Hall. The first international WordCamp event was held in Beijing China on September 1st, 2007. However, not too many people knew of the event. So the first KNOWN international WordCamp event took place in Israel on October 25, 2007. Since then, there have been WordCamps all across the world including Hamburg, Melbourne and soon to be Dallas.
WordCamp Dallas is a two-day event being held in Frisco, Texas at the George A. Purefoy Municipal Center on March 29 and 30, 2008. Here’s the list of speakers and what presentations are about.

March 25, 2008 at 7:57 PMMe too, glad to hear your presentation is almost done. I’m pretty much down to adding images and timing.
Might be a late night, hope the wife doesn’t get bored with hearing me babble…

March 26, 2008 at 12:33 AMSounds like most other sessions will actually be done professionally. My style is a little bit laid back and I could never quite follow a outline.
I look forward to a well thought out “winging it” session to contrast the professional sessions that precede me. Nah, I’m kidding, I should have a presentation done also tomorrow.
