I’ll be speaking about “Who is WordPress?” at the New Jersey WordPress Meetup down in Asbury Park, NJ next Tuesday, January 28. We’ll take a look at how WordPress is made and grows with the help of an amazing community, and how you’re already a part of it. This is my first time joining this meetup, and I’m really looking forward to it!

WordCamp in the frozen north

The frozen wilderness of Norway will not keep a 10upper from attending a WordCamp! I’m heading to WordCamp Norway this weekend to talk about my experience learning WordPress security best practices. I’ll be discussing the (many) mistakes I made along the way, how I learned from them, and how you can learn from them, too.
This is the third WordCamp Norway to be held in the capital city of Oslo. The first day consists of presentations from speakers from countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Ukraine, Sweden, Switzerland, USA, New Zealand, Spain and Norway. Day two is an optional contributor day for anyone wanting to contribute to WordPress core, documentation, or the WordPress.org support forums.
Anyone in Europe interested in WordPress should come join us at WordCamp Norway. If the past two years’ were anything to go by, the 2014 event will be awesome fun for all.
10up on Fire at WordCamp Phoenix 2014
WordCamp Phoenix holds a special place in my (Paul Clark) heart as a place of many firsts.
In 2012, Taylor Aldridge and I watched 10up’s Helen Hou-Sandi present on Maintaining a Beautiful WordPress Admin UI. It was our first WordCamp as a small agency called Brainstorm Media.
In 2013, I returned for my first time as a speaker, presenting How WordPress Saves Lives: Freedom, Hope, and Custom Post Types.
This year, Taylor Aldridge and I are proud both to be speaking and to a be a part of the 10up team. As the start to an exciting new year, Brainstorm Media joined the talented team of WordPress developers at 10up.
In total, that makes five team members and six talks that will be presenting at WordCamp Phoenix this year. Find us on the schedule, and come chat with us at the after party!
