November 2008 WordPress events

Two WordPress events coming up this month, one in the UK, the other Australia:

• The fourth WordPress UK London local meeting on Wednesday 19 November 2008 at the One Tun, Goodge Street.
• WordCamp Australia 2008 on Saturday and Sunday, 29 and 30 November 2008, at The Red Box, Sydney.

Sam Bauers, from Automattic, who attended WordCamp UK 2008, is involved in organising this year’s WordCamp Australia. Good luck to all those attending for a great weekend in Sydney!

It would be great if any of those at the last WordCamp UK could attend - unfortunately I can’t make it myself…

The third batch of WordPress UK Locals took place last month:

• London on Wednesday 15 October 2008 at the One Tun, Goodge Street.
• North on Friday 24 October 2008 at Old BH, Leeds.

Keep an eye on the WordPress UK Upcoming group for details of future meetings.

Under discussion: WordPress UK local groups

One of the action points from this weekend’s WordCamp UK 2008 was to look at forming local WordPress groups.

These will allow regular meetups of WordPress users across the country.

Four groups are currently under discussion:

• WordPress UK London
• WordPress UK Midlands
• WordPress UK North
• WordPress UK South West

Follow the appropriate link for your area if you’re interested in getting involved.

If you’re not covered by these areas, join the WordCamp UK mailing list to propose a new group.

Local groups are one of a number of WordCamp UK initiatives to build a strengthened WordPress community in the light of its increasingly high profile use as a general web platform, such as the next version of the Number 10 Downing Street site.
