One more thing…

So…about that “To be announced” portion of the schedule. Ready for something cool? 🙂

Matt Mullenweg is coming to WordCamp!

On Saturday, right after lunch, we’ll have a 1-hour Town Hall Q&A with Matt. Come with questions, come to listen, come to have a great time.

For those fresh to WordPress, Matt is the co-founding developer of WordPress and the founder of Automattic, purveyors of fine web goods like WordPress.com.

Earlier this month he gave the State of the Word at WordCamp San Francisco. He talks there about how far WordPress has come and where it is going in the next year. Whether you are new to WordPress or a seasoned veteran you’ll enjoy that talk. You may even think of a couple of questions to ask him on Saturday.

We still have some tickets left for Saturday so grab one while you can! The $20 ticket gets you a full day of WordCamp awesomeness, a BBQ lunch, coffee, Whiffies, beer, and a WordCamp pint glass. It also gets you to the Dev Day on Sunday if you want to hack with other local WordPress developers. Yes, all that for $20! Register today.

See you on Saturday!
