WordCamp Melbourne - Speakers and Sponsors Locked In
WordCamp Melbourne (17 November) is shaping up to be a pretty cool event. James just announced that there’s already a sponsor and that there’s a program shaping up with Alex Shiels from Automatic, Christine Davis, James Farmer, Alister Cameron and myself already confirmed.
It’s going to be a great afternoon - and there’s even door prizes! RSVP here.
See the full details at We’ve got a program - and a supporter!

I’m wondering though at what level of WP expertise (and blog monetization experience for that matter) the day is pitched for?
I wouldn’t want to go if I’d be the dunce in the class!

It is for people who have an interest in WP - say who have been using / following / hacking it for some time or intend to do so in the near future.
But, having said that, there’ll be opportunities for people to talk about things that don’t involve php, plugins and so on… such as Darren’s presentation, so it’s your call really.

Karen - all I can say is that I’m completely hopeless at anything on the back end of my blogs - and I’m running a session :-)
My session will be very nontechnical - I’m looking much more at principles that will be applicable to bloggers using all blog platforms.
Also - I think the real benefit of the day will be networking.

Darren -
For those of us who can’t make it to Melbourne, do you know if the presentations will be broadcast online, or available for download at a later date?
Best,
Mark

Mark - not sure if there’s any plan for that - it won’t be a massive gathering (probably 30-40 people) so am not sure there’s a budget for that type of thing unfortunately.

I can always bring in my camera and do it manually, the sound and picture quality might not be great but at least it’s something.

I’m not a pro-blogger of any sorts, just interested to find out more about blogging professionally. Do you think this will be suitable for me?
I’m not completely clueless with wordpress, blogging and all, but I don’t want to be the only one in there with like… $0 income on my blog. Wordcamp.org doesn’t say much about the event so hopefully someone can shed me some light.
Thanks!

Collis - that’s great news - was going to email you to see if you could make it. You guys should run a session!
Alt-J - I think this will be fine for you. The sessions are not all on making money from blogging by any means - it’s going to cover quite a few areas and I’m sure there will be people of all levels there (I certainly hope so anyway).

It’s really about what you can do with WordPress, the future of WordPress and WP related topics - Darren’s providing a great overall perspective - also as a long time WP user - to the problogging side of things. but I wouldn’t go if you’re not very experienced with WP and not really interested in working pretty extensively with it… it’s not a ‘blogging’ get together, it’s a ‘wordpress’ one :)
