Joff
Forgive my ignorance but is the WPUK Unconference in Birmingham classed as a WordCamp event and if not, is there any likelihood of another WP conference of sorts later in the year (in addition to, I presume London)?
-
Tony Scott
Hi Joff – you can see in the last paragraph in the post above ‘WordCamp status for the event has been applied for’ from WordCamp Central – we’ll post here when the outcome of this application is known.
All confirmed UK WordPress local meetings and conferences are listed at http://wpuk.org/events/

Joff, There will likely be WordCamp’s in Manchester and London, and possibly more, next year. Keep an eye on WordCamp Central http://central.wordcamp.org/

Joff
Thanks Mike, Tony, for confirming that.
I’m considering starting a local meeting here in Peterborough (inspired by a visit from Tim Nash) but also feel the city could be a good venue for a future WordCamp. event.
-
Tony Scott
Hi Joff – If you get a local group going, contact me at http://wpuk.org/contact/ and I can list it on http://wpuk.org/events/ (for the first meeting probably best to have a social type meeting to discuss future format etc).

Increase in Birmingham organisers
The number of Birmingham WordPress local organisers has increased, as the group prepares to resume regular meetings.
New organisers Jonny Allbut and Rachel McCollin have joined with Nathan Roberts to expand the organisational team.
The Birmingham group will resume regular meetings on 13 August 2014, and Rachel is seeking speakers:
Talks of any length are very welcome, ranging from lightning talks of a few minutes to longer talks. We’re looking for speakers on any WordPress related topic for developers and/or users, and if you haven’t spoken at an event like this before don’t be shy, we’re very friendly!
Responses can be made on the group’s Meetup discussion board.
