Liz and Lorelle at WordCamp 2008

February 3, 2008 by Liz Leave a Comment

Okay So, Lorelle Is No Surprise!

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.

    Hi Karen!
    It does, and I’m sure it will be. Other WordCamps have been overwhelming hits on those fronts. 🙂

    I went to the first one in San Francisco, and it was great! What a wonderful group WordPress users are. I learned a ton. Congratulations on being invited to speak.

    I’d love to hear your talk, Liz, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed you’ll soon accept a speaking engagement a bit closer to California – maybe even *in* California.

    Hi Liz!
    I can’t wait to meet you too! I know the WordCamp folks are wonderful. We have so many values in common . . . community, education, giving back when we can. 🙂

    Uncross those fingers . . . We need to figure out who needs me to head out near and give them a call. 🙂
