WordCamp 2007 is now over {sad face}, but I just wanted to say thank you to Matt,  Maia, Team Automattic, all the brilliant speakers, and all of the WordCamp sponsors: Layered Technologies, mediatemple, DreamHost, and ServerBeach - for giving us a chance to learn all things WordPress - 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):
