WordCamp Portland is also doing a hack day…

WordCamp Portland is also doing a hack day, this coming weekend on Sunday, August 19 from 12-6pm Portland time (Pacific). Theirs will have more stuff going on, but a core hackers team is likely to emerge, especially if there are known “please work on this” requests from core team and a couple of core people ready to be on irc to answer questions.

Hi everyone WordCamp São Paulo is going to…

Hi everyone! WordCamp São Paulo is going to be doing a hack day on Sunday, August 26th starting at 11am their time, which is -3GMT. It would be great if the core dev team could do the same thing for them they did for WCSF’s hack day: identify a couple of things that need help, and have a core person on hand to answer questions, brainstorm, and make sure that folks are working in the right direction. I know we’d all love to go to Brazil for the weekend, but as a distributed project, I think we can make do with IRC and/or a couple of Google hangouts.

So, @nacin and the gang: What areas should people work on, and who might be able to be online that Sunday to mentor? Vinicius Massuchetto and Cátia Kitahara are the contacts for the hack day and WC.
