WordCamp San Francisco 2008
It’s hard to believe, but it’s already time for our annual WordCamp San Francisco conference.
This year’s speaker lineup is, how to put it? Kickass. Not to mention swiftly growing. Automatticians and other awesome WordPress users will tell you all about:
- The future of WordPress
- How to be a better blogger
- Increasing traffic
- Fun with APIs
And tons more.
Be the first to catch a brand-new rap about WordPress by Chuck Lewis, aka The SEO Rapper. Got questions? Bring them to our version of the Genius Bar. The geniuses are itching to be stumped. Try it. I dare you.
This year’s conference is a one-day event, August 16 at the Mission Bay Conference Center. Signups will be closing soon, so head over to the WordCamp site to register.
There’s also a special event the day after WordCamp: the WordPress Charity Scavenger Hunt.
The team that racks up the most points completing missions and finding weird stuff around SF wins sweet WordPress schwag. All proceeds will go to 826 Valencia, a local non-profit dedicated to helping students advance their writing skills. Register via Eventbrite to participate.

WordCamp@SF is great. It would be better if there is such online WordCamp too… Surely, will join the online version, if any.
August 7th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
You guys need to set one up down here in London…better still an online one. How neat would that be.
August 7th, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Ditto: Can you film it, so we can see it on line?
August 7th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Wish I could go! Come to Japan! haha
August 7th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
It’s too bad I didn’t know about this sooner.
You guys and gals really need to put something online for those of us that can’t make it.
August 7th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
WordPress is the best! Great job everybody. Wish I could come but Romania is pretty far away.
August 8th, 2008 at 3:23 am
Have even consider to make it in Indonesia?? How’s Bali sounds?
August 8th, 2008 at 7:41 am
There should be a camp for Australia too for the people who live Down Under in major places like Perth and Sydney
August 8th, 2008 at 11:59 am
If you ever have a contest where one can win a free ticket to San Francisco plus hotel stay included
then perhaps I have a chance of coming. 
August 8th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Still waiting for traffic in my Blog
August 8th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
Come up to Medford. It’s on I-5, close to Crater Lake and the Shakespearean Festival…and the valley could use the company from the intelligensia.

August 9th, 2008 at 9:58 pm

August 9th, 2008 at 11:04 pm
I wish there was a way in the registration process to sign up more than one person with a single payment!
August 10th, 2008 at 12:03 am
I can’t believe this is happening while I’m in San Fran!
August 10th, 2008 at 12:45 am
OOOh… regional WordCamps would be an awesome idea. SF is a bit too far for me to go.
Who’s up for the Midwest?

Thank you wordpress! Yesterday was one week for me on wordpress.
August 11th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
I can’t make it to SF, but I’ll be at the Portland one in September!
August 12th, 2008 at 2:38 am
Talk about advancing your writing skills! Why must you use such a crude, offensive word? I’m talking about “kick*ss”. Is that how you normally talk? This is the second time in two days I have signed into WordPress to find offensive language right there in the featured blogs list that everyone can see. Yesterday it was somebody posting something using the sh-word. I couldn’t help but see that right as I signed in. And now your blog with the a-word. You know, there are ladies reading these sites. Please watch your language.
August 12th, 2008 at 2:40 am
Oh, and nobody above me even mentioned anything about you using the word “kick*ss”. Doesn’t this offend anybody? Or is this how everybody talks these days?
August 12th, 2008 at 2:43 am
I’ll see ya next year! Who knows mayBEE I’ll even do a Live Beedoodle! :p..
August 12th, 2008 at 4:10 am
so cool, I wanna go too
August 12th, 2008 at 7:07 am
I’m heading down from Vancouver — looking forward to meeting everyone and having a few beers.
August 12th, 2008 at 11:22 am
Nice job!! I really liked it
August 12th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Nice!…
August 12th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
I really wish I could go, but I’m a little too far away!!! Lots of fun and happy vibes to all though!!

August 12th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Matt will be coming here in PI during Word Camp this September right?
August 13th, 2008 at 4:26 am
Great, i love it.
August 13th, 2008 at 12:37 pm

August 13th, 2008 at 3:35 pm

August 13th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Great, really appreciating!! I wish i could b there…
August 13th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Great!
August 13th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Hi,
First of all, I appreciate the hard work the wordpress.com team does, and think it’s a great idea to blog about it and make it public. But I’d like to ask that the annoying yellow notification that shows up in the blog stats page for each wordpress announcement be removed. Or at least, that it shows up only once for each announcement.
I clicked on the link just to get rid of it.
Thanks and regards.
August 13th, 2008 at 11:42 pm
I need a month in advance, so until the next time, enjoy the rest of your summers.
anything for Oct, Nov, or Dec?
August 14th, 2008 at 4:08 am
cool! Thanks Matt.
August 14th, 2008 at 9:29 am

August 14th, 2008 at 9:44 am
Cool !!! Would like to join but Cameroon is pretty far from LA…
For all of us not attending, thanks for putting what you can online.
August 14th, 2008 at 10:59 am

August 14th, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I really want to go, but it is too far for me… see you next year (maybe)…
August 14th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
