WordCamp 2007

I’m sitting in a packed house of about 300 bloggers for a two day WordPress conference, WordCamp 2007. My main argument is everyone in the room is already a WordPress blogger yet many of the presenters are talking to us like we’re newbie bloggers and we’re not familiar with the technology or concepts of blogging. The reason I came and I believe the reason everyone else here came is to discover what’s new about blogging. I haven’t yet learned anything new, but I’m meeting some good people.

Here are all the photos on Flickr.

UPDATE: Here are some people I’ve ran into.

Jason Brightman – Now currently the Design Director for MacWorld and PC World. He used to be the Design Director at Harris Publishing where he designed magazines like XXL Magazine and King Magazine.

Harry McCracken – Editor in Chief for PC World magazine. Known Harry for a few years. Our sisters are friends and I produced some videos for PC World back in 2004.

John Dvorak – John and I worked together at ZDTV/TechTV and I appeared a few times on his show Silicon Spin. Not even realizing that Jason Richtman was in the room, he spoke very highly of Jason during his panel with Om Malik saying that he was creating WordPress sites that didn’t look like blogs. We had to alert John that Jason was in the room.

Robert Parker – Blog consultant who is guilty of not having a blog of his own yet he consults for others. He admits it. Check out one of his clients, Devra Do Write.
