The incredible 2012 WordCamp Portland organizer team invited me to come down and give a presentation on WP-Cron today. As usual at any WordCamp I have spoken at, I gained much more than I gave, this is particularly true of my own session. The community interaction and Q&A portion was most insightful to me. Major kudos to all who attended, and to the fantastic team that put this conference together for us.
Matt Mullenweg put in a showing and though I have been part of the community for years I was able to meet him for the first time today. He is every bit as humble in person as he seems in his numerous talks I have watched. Meet this man if you can. He is the genius behind the WordPress community.
The Seattle WordPress community made a great showing today, not only in attendance, but we also provided 4 speakers! All the talks got rave reviews from the crowds. Go #wpseattle!
Thought I would share a few well curated tweets from today. Tweets I found interesting, and mostly about me 😉
@GrantLandram got major kudos from @photomatt for his #wcpdx presentation during Matt's QA session. @FreshMuseDesign has great people
