Although I won’t be attending this particular event, WordCamp Fayetteville is occurring one week after WordCamp Raleigh which happens to be this weekend. This particular WordCamp is a two day event with Sunday being dedicated to getting your toughest questions answered by WordPress gurus. The event also features two different tracks, one for bloggers and the other for developers. There are a couple of sessions that look really interesting such as Unlocking Government: Understanding the Freedom of Information Act (State Rep. Lindsley Smith, D-Fayetteville), and The Transparent Blogger – How much disclosure is enough?. I wouldn’t mind attending the session on Understanding Analytics – Why Google Analytics Matters (Anna Miller) an area that I’m pretty weak in. All I know is that big numbers for the most part are a good sign.
Checking out the registration page, it looks like there are only 9 tickets available for $40.00 each plus a $1.99 fee. If you’d like to follow the event on Twitter, the hashtag is #wcfay. Daniel Gold has told me that he is in charge of putting the presentations on Ustream with live video. I’m not sure of the web address for the Ustream video but if I find out, I’ll update the post. Also keep an eye in the comments for Daniel.
Huh. Didn’t know there was going to be one in Arkansas. Of course, that is still a pretty long way for me. Birmingham is closer.
Still, wish I’d known. Gotta check the Wordcamp pages more often.
