A meetup of wordpress enthusiasts, hackers, developers, designers, users, newbies and others interested in Wordpress
The next Cape Town WordPress Meetup will be on Monday 28 September between 16:30 and 19:00 (before the September GeekDinner).
About 20 people on the list at the moment.
Add your name to the wiki if you would like to attend.
Invite friends. Offer to speak. Final details will be on the wiki.
See you there.
It’s been way too long, each month we start the conversation but seems the year has been very hard on everyone and time has been in really short supply. I’m really grateful to Joe for pushing us over the edge and just putting a stake in the ground here so we’re forced to get going. So far there are a few speakers already as well as a few interested parties.
I think with all the developments coming out of the wordpress stable of late we’re gearing up for a really big one, though we’d be happy to get some assistance in planning, speakers, contributions and ideas, venue suggestions etc. As always we’ve tried to keep the venue alcohol free so the atmosphere is inclusive and focused.
I sure hope the vibrantly growing WP community in Cape Town will be out in force, some really fabulous WP stuff coming from the Mother City of late. Spread the word far and wide, I’ll try to slap together some site badges and maybe there’s time for some T-shirts if we get some sponsors on board soon enough.
So check out the Planning Wiki for some deets and insight into the peeps.
Seey’all there!
We are using the GeekDinner wiki to plan the next Cape Town WordPress Meetup.
Time to dust off this ol site and start calling on all the wordpress crazy guys & gals out there to meetup and share their wordpressy tales with each other once again. It seems like ages since we last met and so much has happened in the WP community including the release of the fabulous wordpress 2.7.
With the last wordcamp also behind us, we hope this next meetup will attract a mix of all our past attendees from both the meetups and the wordcamp. The planning of the last meetup though a small event was a really tough task as i did most of the running around myself with a help of a few peeps and of course our sponsors.
This time around I’m hoping to get a great team together so each person can focus on one aspect of the event and we can get it done without too much fuss.
So, without further blah blah, here goes the call. All those interested in Attending, planning, sponsoring, speaking or promoting this event stand up now and make yourself heard. Add a Comment to this post and lets get this ball rolling.
#wpcpt4 Here we come. Spread the word.press
One of the main reasons we have been so quiet with regard to wordpress meetups is that we have left the space open for the upcoming Wordcamp.
Wordcamps have been around for a while, but have never been held in South Africa. They are in a similar spirit to our little wordpress meetups but on a larger scale and held less frequently.
Younique, Tyler Reeds company is responsible for the organisation with a crew of other wordpress fundis, which includes Adii’s company (radiiate), but as yet they have not found a cool venue to host it.
They’ve looked at UCT Tennis Club, CTICC(too expensive I think) and a few others but nothing available yet. If anyone out there knows of a nice place to host an (un)conference style event let them know by visiting www.wordcamp.co.za and leaving a comment or email info(at)wordcamp.co.za.
