WordCamp UK presentation at London Bloggers

I gave a presentation on WordCamp UK last night at the June meeting of London Bloggers.

The presentation [pdf] seemed to go down postively at the well attended meeting at The Coach and Horses in Soho.

Afterwards Alexandra, Andy, Tim and myself made a detailed examination of the various beverages available from behind the bar from the vantage point of the Lego-like seating outside the pub.

New venue for WordCamp UK

The venue for WordCamp UK has been changed - it’s now going to be at The Studio in Birmingham.

This is very close to the previously planned venue and so should not prove to be a problem for those travelling from outside Birmingham.

Details of how to book tickets for the event, to be held 19-20 July 2008, will be released shortly.

For full details go to the WordCamp UK wiki.

Aston WordCamp UK venue

Following intrepid research by Birmingham-based WordCamp UK mailing list members a venue for the event has been secured.

WordCamp UK will be held at Aston University Lakeside Centre, Birmingham, Saturday and Sunday 19-20 July 2008.

Many thanks to Ian Covey for organising the venue.

WordCamp UK venue sought

It looks like WordCamp UK is now going to be 19-20 July 2008 in Birmingham.

We’re now looking for a suitable venue.

WordCamp UK show of hands

At this stage in planning for WordCamp UK it would be extremely useful to get a show of hands indicating the number of people likely to attend.

This will help in making arrangements such as booking a suitable venue.

Following discussion on the WordCamp UK mailing list the following assumptions are currently being made:

• Dates - Saturday and Sunday 19-20 July 2008.
• Location - Birmingham.

Therefore could everyone indicate if they can attend WordCamp UK, making these assumptions, by adding their name to the attendees page on the event wiki.

It would be useful if responses could be made by 1200 (GMT) on Friday 18 April 2008 at the latest.

Hopefully this will give us a good idea of numbers likely to attend.

WordCamp UK proposed date

A date for the planned WordCamp UK is now being proposed.

Following discussion on the WordCamp UK mailing list the weekend of 19-20 July 2008 is being considered.

Post your responses either here or on the WordCamp UK mailing list (registration required).

New WordCamp UK site

There’s now a WordCamp UK site to publicise the proposed event.

The content is fairly simple at the moment, given that we are at an early stage in the project.

Eventually the site can carry full details of the event with schedule, location and facilities for booking tickets.

To spread the word it would be extremely helpful if those who’ve expressed an interest blog about the event and include a link to the new site.

Many thanks to Alex Shiels from Automattic for setting up this the site.
