Wordpress/blogging meetup during SXSW

Track the main post here.

I'm organizing a small event to get some of the Wordpress community together, and I figured what better time than during SXSW!

Looks like Matt Mullenweg (Wordpress creator) is set to attend, and with that I'm going to kick off the invitation and see what kind of response we get!

No official agenda (yet! :)), but an opportunity for users and developers in the area to get together and discuss WP usage, futures, and the like (and blogging in general!).

Email questions, confirmations, or suggestions to wordpress@richardgoodwin.com.

Thanks!

WOW! What an outpouring of support! Looks like we have quite a few folks ready to roll and I'm really looking forward to it.

I?ve worked with Will of BarCamp and I think we?re going to use the same venue or thereabouts as BarCamp because of the amenities and price breaks, but it?s going to be a separate part of the restaurant with dinner tables etc.

Like Irina suggested @ upcoming, I want to have a ?dinner? portion so we can have some quiet conversation, etc. before any other festivities :)

So for those that want to drift off and participate in BarCamp, great, otherwise we?ll hang in our area, or can head out to any of the other bars/restaurants in the area.

So, while not required, I?d appreciate a comment or email if you have any concerns with this arrangement, otherwise I plan to see you there. You can also ring me at 512-736-7897 with any questions/comments.

Here?s the menu link, looks good and affordable: http://www.thistlecafe.com/menu/downtown/maincourses.html
