WordCamp Dallas last year was a major moment in the history of GeekBrief.TV. It was one of the first times we were able to actually break a tech story, instead of just reporting on it. That story was Woopra.
I’m honored to be invited back to speak at this year’s WordCamp, and I would love to see you there! The event takes place Saturday, June 27th and Sunday the 28th. You can either come for some of it or all of it, whatever works for you. There will be great information shared and awesome people! Of course, Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of WordPress, will be speaking. John P, CEO of Woopra will be speaking as well. He’ll have some invite codes for those of you who still waiting to get in the beta, exclusive to those attending WordCamp Dallas. Lorelle Van Fossen, Giovanni Gallucci, Liz Strauss and Jonathan Bailey are some of the other speakers. Like I said, great information and awesome people!
They’re looking for some help to organize the event, so if you have the heart and the time, they would appreciate it! They’re looking for help with these things:
Organizing speakers
Designing WordCamp Badges
T-shirt Designs
Sponsors
Giveaways
If you want to offer your help in one of the above ways, or in any other ways you can think of, contact them here.
Date: June 27th & 28th
Time: 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM
Where: University of Texas at Dallas
800 West Campbell Road
Richardson, TX 75080

Let me know if you guys need someone to speak about live video streaming at WordCamp.. Would be happy to bring along a few TriCasters and setup a lab or a “Studio” for participants to use..

I’m really excited about attending WordCamp Dallas! My main strength is writing, but I do (hack) designing with WordPress and MODx. Anyway, I’m REALLY HOPING to hook up with some real XHTML/CSS coders, graphics designers, SEMers, and video experts who are interested in hooking up with a real writer (ME). Please visit my website, PageBench.com. I’ve got over 20 years experience in technical writing and copy writing, with clients that include IBM, Halliburton, Hamilton Sunstrand, Textron, and many others. I earned a BA in English a lifetime ago, and I speak Spanish and Portuguese too.
I’ll be wearing a Florida Marlins jersey!
At your service,
