Thanks to all who attended… spoke… or helped out… Here are some cool shots and there are more if you click through to see the whole gallery. Anthony seems to have caught all of us at one time or another!! And feel free to tag images and download and use them as you will.

Ok, I have to tell you I’m so proud to be part of Australia’s first ever SELL OUT WordCamp!

We appear to have filled up 300 seats and with a week to spare. THANK YOU to all of you who have purchased your tickets already!! We’re so looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

If you are now feeling really deflated that you’ve missed out… don’t lose heart. There may be a few up our sleeve so please head over and sign up to the waiting list [updated: Sorry! You guys are just too enthusiastic!! We’ve closed the wait list, we’ll be in touch with those on the list in the next couple of days.]

Until then, See you on Saturday!!

Spreading the Word(Camp)

March 29, 2013 by Dee Teal • 3 Comments

So, WordCamp is 4 weeks away and between now and then we’re going to be focusing on getting the word out and making sure every possible person who might want to go to WordCamp Melbourne has the chance to come along!

This means you’ll see a few more blog posts, regular newsletters on Mondays – (are you signed up to the mailing list??) and there’ll be a whole lot of tweeting going on.

We’d like to give you the opportunity to get involved in helping us by retweeting our cheeky tweets, sharing our newsletters and blog posts and sharing the stuff that will start appearing on our facebook page… this event is for you, and will be even better if your friends also catch the WordPress bug… so tell them about it!! This event is one of the best places to go where all those around you are as crazy for tech, open source, and blogging as you are…

So we’re starting this campaign with one we also did for WordCamp Sydney… We want YOU to be a WordCamp Badger!!
