Austin has always been on my list of places to visit, and now that I did I know it was totally worth the long travel. Huge WordPress community, very friendly people and a well organized WordCamp, not to mention that wonderful food experience.
I met and chatted with a lot of new folks – developers, designers, bloggers, business owners and beginners eager to use and learn WordPress. It was so overwhelming, in a good way obviously, and the BBQ – so delicious! The unofficial CigarCamp was the perfect way to end the day.
Dev Day on Sunday was a total blast, that’s where all the super geek talk happened over pizza. That’s where I was able to get a few minutes on stage to talk about contributing to WordPress and encouraged people to chime in.
So huge props to everybody who made it happen: organizers and volunteers, speakers, sponsors, attendees, and a very special thanks to the WP Engine folks for hosting Dev Day.
Hope to make it next year!
Hey Konstantin,
Looks like you got a FooBot shirt – hope you like it :)
Hi Brad, I did and I love it! Thanks!
This is just wonderful, as in my country Indonesia there only one WordCamp ever held (as fas as I know), if there is one on the near future I think I’m going to attend Indonesian WordCamp :)
Tiyo, one WordCamp is great. Russia had zero WordCamps with the first one coming to Moscow this year. If there isn’t any local WordCamp in your area, don’t hesitate to organize one, starting from a meetup group. Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
