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.
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!
Hours after the official public release of WordPress 2.6, codename “Tyner” after jazz pianist McCoy Tyner, the WordCamp UK blog has upgraded - it would have been rude not to! How could I resist Wiki-like post revisions and Google Gears integration! Released almost a month early, it not only shows a solid commitment from the core dev team, but also neatly ties up with WordCamp UK 2008 this weekend!
The major features are explained in the video below:
Tony made a good point on the mailing list today - although all speakers (apart from Graham on ‘WordPress in Education) are confirmed on the latest running order, (also posted on the blog here) we don’t currently have any back-up speakers or presentations in the event of someone having to drop out of their presentation at the last minute. So, the question is - do you want to be a back-up speaker at WordCamp UK 2008?
I’m pretty sure all topics on the Wiki are already covered - but there are many areas of WordPress development left un-tapped! In the true spirit of the group organisation of this event - this is your chance to get involved! You may now have had the time to think about this properly, or maybe thought it was ‘too late’ to get involved… but here’s your chance! Of-course, if everything goes to plan you may not actually need to present this, but on the other hand - you could end up being the star turn at WordCamp UK 2008!!
With the start of WordCamp UK 2008 just under 6 days away ticket sales past the 50 mark yesterday - have you secured your ticket yet? Remember - admission is by ticket only, so if you want to go to WordCamp UK 2008, you MUST make sure you have purchased a ticket as they will not be available on the door!
