I feel like that guy on the Memorex commercial.
You know, this guy:
I suspect that a lot of you might be feeling a bit like that too, with all the WordCamp Portland 2010 info flying at you in the past week. Speakers, schedules, tickets, times, dates, whaaa? I thought I’d just break it [...]
How About a Session On (insert topic here)?
Posted By Aaron on September 17th, 2008
Do you have a WordPress topic on your mind? Have you looked at our list of speakers and sessions and thought “that’s great, but what about ________?” You’re the perfect person to suggest a topic for an unconference session!
The evening at WordCamp will be unconference-style, meaning that it won’t be planned until that day. We’ll offer a bunch of rooms (of varying sizes) and folks can suggest session topics. Maybe it’s something you know about and want to share. Perhaps it’s a blogging topic on your mind and you’d like to chat about it with other folks. A session leader doesn’t need to be an expert, just someone who’s willing to help kick things off and keep things moving in a productive fashion.
I’ve heard rumors that folks are thinking about unconference sessions on things such as moving to WordPress from another platform, neighborhood blogging, and how to develop plugins for the admin interface. Bring your ideas to WordCamp for potential unconference sessions; it’ll be interesting to see which WordPress topics are on everyone’s mind.

I’m all over the moving over topic… give me info, I’m a sponge!
I’d love to see a session on statistics programs for WordPress. yes, I know that Woopra will be giving a talk, but I’d love an overview of all the different statistics programs — both WordPress specific and general — and how they differ, who uses which ones, and how they compare. We did some talking about this at a session at “side project to startup” and lots of people seemed interested.
