Peter Westwood and Jeff Van Campen have kindly started summarising the links and info from day 1 of WordCamp UK 2008 over on the wiki - good work, I couldn’t keep up on the blog guys!
I have also amended this information into the 2008 Event Hub page on the blog website. Thank you to all our speakers for sharing some fantastic stuff today and roll on tomorrow!
Also, I think everyone who went to The Old Royal this evening can congratulate John Bounds on transforming himself into the perfect quizmaster! The pub was great (and served Kronenbourg, so I was personally happy!) T-shirts where up for grabs, with some of the funniest prizes - including a 5 1/4″ disk (disk 2 of 2!), a zx81 programming book… absolute genius, good work fella!
I would kindly request that all speakers add their relevant links to the wiki, so it can be collected together in one place. I will periodically update the blog Event Hub page with this information to ensure it is kept up-to-date and provide a central repository of the information.
One of the highlight sessions of WordCamp UK 2008 is going to be the code surgery session, currently scheduled for Sunday 20th July 2008. It’s being headed up by Simon Wheatley, Peter Westwood, Rich Boakes and Mike Little.
QUESTIONS NEED TO BE SUBMITTED IT ADVANCE so our surgeons can be prepared! Simon is taking submissions through his blog (which allows you to attach code for more complex queries!
Want to know the best way to code your plugin? Having trouble with template tags? All ideas are welcome! During this session you have the opportunity to ask your burning questions about WordPress development, or get a fresh pair of eyes on some code you’re working on. All questions welcome, don’t worry about whether they’re too simple or too complex… we’re happy to help with anything.

A new running order has been posted to the Wiki for WordCamp UK 2008, and I’ve updated the blog here accordingly. The only change to the previous version is that the session on ‘WordPress in Education’ has now been replaced by a new session called ‘Essential Plugins‘, being presented by Richard Williams.
Thanks for stepping up to the task Richard - It’s currently scheduled to be the first main presentation on Saturday at 10am - and is a great topic to kick the event off with and should provide some lively debate during the whole conference, as everyone has their favourite plugins!
You may have noticed that WordCamp UK 2008 has a couple of main WordPress dashboard posts (at the bottom in ‘Other WordPress News’). Peter Westwood (Westi) and Mike Little have both posted about their attendance and the presentations they are making at the event. You can keep up to date with the current running order on the wiki.
Peter Westwood will be presenting about getting involved in WordPress development (currently scheduled for Sunday 20th) and Mike Little will be participating in the WordPress Questions and Answers session.

A new running order has been posted to the Wiki by Tony, and I’ve updated the blog here accordingly. A couple of things have been shuffled around, the main change being the ‘CSS and HTML for WordPress beginners’ session being dropped. Sadly, Holly is not sure she can attend.
This has been replaced by a session on ‘WordPress in Education’ by Graham Hallas - welcome on-board Graham!
