Dates for WordCamp Down Under & WordCamp Wellington

[Dan Milward]

Hi Guys,

The 2011 WordCamp dates are as follows;

Wellington - 29th & 20th Feb
Melbourne - 26th & 27th Feb

The previous weeks are impossible because of various annual events in both NZ and Ausie (webstock & foocamp). Anthony and I worked out that any other combination is pretty much impossible.

Best,
Dan

Opps. I typed that wrong. Damnit.

Wellington - is the 19th & 20th Feb

I've got lots of potential international speakers interested in coming over too.

Best,
Dan

Why not call it WordCampANZ 

it won't mean anything outside the local area but still nice and short & more meaningful

Hey Guys,

So the conversation with Te Papa (the Museum of NZ) has started again. I'm looking at the Soundings Theatre (floor plan attached) for the Saturday, it sits 328 people, and the Oceania room for the Sunday.

Hopefully our sponsors this year will be able to cough up some decent funds. On that note Instinct is definitely going to cough up some cash to help out. For the Saturday I'm gunning for big name speakers. Hopefully Matt Mullenweg will be coming and will be the Key Note speaker. We'll see... on that note though I'm lobbying lots of people that I've met while travelling to different WordCamps overseas.

Also Jane hasn't yet responded to an email I sent her regarding WordCamp Down Under. I'll give her a little bit more time before I start pestering her.

Best,
Dan
