Posted By Lid On July 27, 2007 @ 12:48 pm In WordPress | 6 Comments
WordCamp 2007 [1]is now over {sad face}, but I just wanted to say thank you [2] to Matt [3], Maia [4], Team Automattic [5], all the brilliant speakers [6], and all of the WordCamp sponsors [7]: Layered Technologies [8], mediatemple [9], DreamHost [10], and ServerBeach [10] – for giving us a chance to learn all things WordPress [11] – all in the spirit of the open source community. Who else would give you two days for $25….?!
Much has been written about the conference so I won’t add more, but here are the links to what some of the speakers had to say after the event (in order of speaking):
