WordCamp San Francisco 2008

August 5th, 2008

It’s that time again!! WordCamp SF 2008 is coming at you on August 16th! I am very excited since this will be my very first WordCamp ever! I’m honored to be part of the WordPress team helping out on the sidelines when needed. I also get to finally meet some fellow Automatticians who are coming into town for WordCamp as well as An Event Apart. Be sure to sign up here and don’t forget to have your Gravatar set up, so you can get your nifty photo badge!

On a side note, I’m putting together a WordPress Charity Scavenger Hunt the day after WordCamp on Aug 17th. The recipient of the proceeds will be local SF non-profit, 826 Valencia. They are dedicated to helping students develop their writing skills and promote literacy. They also have a really sweet pirate store and workshop space. If you’re interested in joining in the fun, sponsoring a team or donating please check out the event registration page.

blogher2008logoSo, I’ll be speaking at BlogHer this year in San Francisco. I’ll be joining Angie Byron of Drupal to discuss ways that you can participate and contribute to open source projects like WordPress and Drupal.

What are some topics you’d like to hear about in the panel?

I’ve got a ton of stuff to write up on for the past few weeks. Namely the conferences/events I’ve gotten a chance to attend. Look forward to posts about:

Oh, and my new job as a happiness engineer  here :)

A new beginning…

Golden Gate BridgeI’m moving to San Francisco finally and starting a new chapter in my life in the next few weeks. I have been wanting this for a very long time. When I returned home from my SF vacation this summer, I just motivated myself to go back for good. I worked extra hours in the office, at home, & on weekends to learn new stuff, make myself to a smidge of awesome and did some job-hunting. I started in mid-July and by the beginning of August, I started getting a few responses and interviews. I found an awesome job with a global travel marketing start-up firm and I’m in the midst of apartment/house hunting. Leaving my family, friends and job is bittersweet, but it’s very exciting.

I’ll be documenting the next few weeks/months with tweets on Twitter and save the longer blog entries for when I’m settled into the new life.
