So, 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:

• Got Social Media? Conference - Houston, TX
• BarCampTexas -Bryan, TX
• Bay Area Geek Girl Dinner #1 - Mountain View, CA
• Customer Service is the New Marketing Summit -San Francisco, CA

Oh, and my new job as a happiness engineer  here

I’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.
