This weekend Dan and I headed up to San Francisco for WordCamp 2007, the second annual convention / get together for WordPress enthusiasts and developers.
It was a really good time, and there are so many thoughts and ideas spinning around in my head afterwards that it will be a challenge to work them all into something useful, or even to just capture them here before they get drowned out by other responsibilities. Almost all of the sessions were inspiring and thought provoking, drawing me into reconsidering many aspects of my involvement with WordPress, ranging from how I write and structure this blog to how involved I am in contributing to the community at large through development work.
There will certainly be more posts to come here on all of those subjects, but for now I’ll just sum it up by saying that I’m really glad I stumbled onto WordPress nearly three years ago, and that I’ve had a blast contributing development-wise to an open source community / project that I feel provides a real benefit to people in the real world (not just a geeky thing for programmers to enjoy, not that there’s anything wrong with that…), and am eager to do so more productively in the future.
