A WordCamp at Chennai

March 28, 2008 · Filed Under WordPress · Comment 

As users of WordPress software suite we are very familiar with the term “WordCamp” which is defined by Jeffro2pt0 in simple terms like this:-

WordCamp is a conference type of event that focuses squarely on everything WordPress. Everyone from casual end users all the way up to core developers show up to these events. These events are usually highlighted by speeches or keynotes by various people.

We read announcements and details of events that are conducted during these camps that are being conducted at many places over US and Europe.

Why not one such in India? That too at Chennai (because I live there. Simple)? Swell idea, what? No wonder, I always get them. all in my diet minus fish, that Jeeves’ wisdom gets attributed to by Plum!

It may not be on a big scale. It may not boast of WordPress pundits like Matt, Lorelle and their ilk. But why not make a start in a humble way?

I appeal to users of WordPress living in and around the city of Chennai, India to please spill a few bytes on the comment box about their willingness to organize/participate in the proposed get-together, so that we can proceed further in that direction.

Thanks IA.
