WordCamp SF planning continues — we’re 6 weeks away, gulp! 🙂 We’re still working on pricing live captioning for the event and figuring out how to incorporate that into the live stream. @iandunn is working on improving the attendee check-in feature for Camptix. We’ll be posting the rest of our awesome speakers and the provisional schedule soon — hopefully next week — and opening some forums so that attendees can connect before the event to arrange rides, meetings, etc. Expect some informational posts soon about the community summit as well.
