August Seattle WordPress Meetup

A few weeks ago, we put out a call to get some help finding a venue for a meetup this month. With the help of a few members in the community, we have been able to organize something.

We are excited to announce that we will be starting once again to have WordPress meetups here in Seattle. Did I mention that we are very excited about it.

The August Seattle WordPress meetup is scheduled for Wednesday, August 11 from 6:30 to 8:00 at StartPad in Seattle. The address is 811 First Avenue, Suite 480 Seattle, WA 98104. Free parking on the street after 6pm.

The purpose of this meetup is to just get people together that want to talk WordPress. We’ll announce more details as they come. We have every intention to meet monthly. See ya there!

Cancelled: WordPress Celebration Event on May 6, 2010

Cancelled: It is with regret that I inform you the WordPress Celebration event is being postponed. Important details fell through and rather than put on a half-baked event, we’ve decided to postpone and re-plan for a date later in the year. – Cal (5/1/2010)

WordCamp Seattle is putting on a WordPress Celebration event to allow you and everyone in the Seattle area who loves WordPress to celebrate it together.

This event is for anyone who blogs on WordPress, designs for WordPress, develops WordPress (or its plugins or themes), runs their business and website on WordPress, or loves it for any other reason. If you don’t know what WordPress is or haven’t used it yourself, come anyway and ask other people why they use it and what they think.

The event will take place the evening of Thursday, May 6. Venue details are still being finalized, but we wanted to give you advance notice so you can plan to come. We’re planning to provide food and drinks at the event, a short talk, WordPress site demos, and more importantly a chance for you to meet and mingle.

Hope to see you there! We’ll post on the blog and on Twitter more details as they come. Follow WordCamp Seattle on Twitter here.
