Dev Day scheduled for Sunday, August 19th

The day after WordCamp, we’ll be holding a Dev Day. It’ll be from 12 to 6 pm at the US Bancorp Tower in downtown Portland.

“What’s a Dev Day, and why should I attend?” you might ask? Well, it’s an opportunity to explore code at many levels. We’ll have a few technical talks lined up, as well as plenty of space for you to collaborate with your peers. If you’re stuck on a plugin, need a code review, are looking for feedback on a difficult problem, or simply want to talk about the latest and greatest with WordPress, the Dev Day is your place to be.

If you think you’ll be there, we’d love to hear from you (we need a head count). Please leave a comment and let us know what you’d like to get out of the day.

I will be there – I am a newbbie WP plugin/make custom changes etc/programmer and I dont have a roomful of peers that I can bother with questions. So anything and everything is good for me. This is something that I will be looking forward to. !!!!!

Great! We’ll make sure there’s something for those looking to get into WordPress development too.

I’ll totally be there to soak in some knowledge (and perhaps get a theme question answered).

I’d love to be there! Is this included in the ticket price, or is there another charge?

  I am hoping to attend this event. I always LOVE hearing reviews of the “latest and greatest” WordPress plugins. Who knows? I may be inspired to take the leap into learning how to create my own. Thanks for sharing this opportunity!

I will am excited to say I will be there. I’m always excited to talk code and give/get help. Community knowledge is always better than a single person’s knowledge.

I’ll be there! I think it’d be great to jump-start a nifty plugin or two that would have wide community appeal. Let’s bring our ideas!

Any particular ideas for a plugin? I think better logged out notices would be neat.

  Been thinking about this, and most of my ideas are probably far too ambitious for my experience level. I’m down for anything that solves a need, and better logged out notices sounds good.

I’ll be there! Excited to help others learn how to contribute to core, if there’s interest!

I’ll be there for sure! Interested in contributing to core, talking plugin development and anything multisite related!

I shall be there. Interested in collaborating with @tollmanz and @kiersi, and learning more about core contrib

Grant and Tanner will be joining me

Awesome! We’ll have Jane to talk about contributing to the WordPress.org project in general, and plenty of devs to talk about their experiences contributing to core.

I’ll be there, but I think you knew that already. 🙂

I’ll be there! I’m interested in beginning core dev, plugin dev and whatever else anyone is talking about.

Count me in! I’m sure I’ll learn something on Saturday that I’ll want to dive right into Sunday so I don’t forget 🙂
Plugin dev and contributing to core are always good topics!

I’ll be there, hoping someone wants to talk about memcached or nginx, and terrified that I’ll end up in a conversation about css and reveal my ignorance 🙂

I’m sure Barry would be happy to talk your ear off 🙂

Ben already commented, but myself and another one of our team members will be there. Theming, plugin dev, core contrib, etc…

I’ll be there working on a contribution to Ndizi Project Management that I’ve been pecking away at for several months now – I’m almost ready to forward a patch on, but I need to figure out a good UI for attachments. Will hopefully pick brains for this one. 🙂

I plan on being there. I’m sure there will be topics brought up on Saturday that will stimulate discussion, and I’m open to talking just about any kind of WP geekery. But if I had to propose a topic now, I’d like to discuss ideas for adding to core especially in the wp_editor / tinymce areas and media uploader & library – not that I have any concrete ideas for what to do, but those are my biggest frustrations out of what I’m doing at the moment and I’d love to contribute to helping make them better,

I’ll be there. Looking forward to collaborating on core!

I’ll be there. Contributed to core for the first time last year… I’d like to do it again this year.

I’ll be there.

I will be there. Looking forward to helping others improve WordPress code, as well as working on a few projects of my own and getting feedback from others.
