WordCampUK 2009 Peeps

Belatedly:

Mike Little (@mikelittlezed1) – finally! Although better known for co-founding WordPress, Mike’s also a member of the ORG tech community, so I’d seen him around before online but never met in person.
@_vixx, who really should get together with @mseckington sometime as they’re both game crazy :)
Rhys Wynne (@rhysw1) – who very bravely hosted a session on localisation, with particular reference to Welsh
Simon Dickson (@simond) – who presented an informative talk on how WordPress is being used by government in the UK
Jeff Van Campen (@otrops), Rachael Furn (@calmbanana), Laura Kalbag (@laurakalbag), Gareth Tickner (@garethtickner) and Robert McKenzie (@m1xzg) for allowing me to join them in a WordHack, which resulted in Mobile Kubrick.
Tony Scott (@tonys) – for organising the event :)

WordCampUK 2009

Day 1 is over. I’ve met many interesting people but failed to collect their names so tomorrow’s mission is to remedy this. The crowd is fairly evenly split between developers and users, with a few strategists thrown in for good measure. Co-founders Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little both gave talks today – I wonder if, when they began developing WordPress, they even had a suspicion that it would become so popular that there would be conferences about it all over the world?

This post was written on my (new) G1 using a handy app called wpToGo. Admittedly I could have written it just as easily using the laptop currently resting on, you guessed it, my lap but I wanted to test how well the app works. I’ve already tried PostBot but didn’t even manage to get it setup properly. I don’t anticipate posting from my phone very often but – you never know…

WordPress 2.7

For me, one of the highlights of WordCamp San Francisco 2008 was a sneak preview of the new Admin Interface along with the rationale behind the changes. Fascinating stuff (see below). And now, with the release of 2.7, I get to try it out for myself :)
