Oh hai! We suck and have not posted an update for a month. 🙁 I swear on a free copy of WordPress that we’ve been busy, though.
Past month:
- Launched the Multi-Event WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Sponsorship program. To date, BlueHost has come on as a Pillar in the US/Canada and a Champion everywhere else for Q2, and DreamHost has asked to sponsor as a Champion in the US from May-December, w00t! Looking like GoDaddy will also sponsor this way soon.
