Hello WordPress friends and blogging neighbors! I (Morgan Senkal) am thrilled to take over the fabulous work that Aaron Hockley has done with WordCamp here in Portland. My two goals for this event are:
Make WordCamp Portland 2010 as fabulous as last year
Make it even better, if that is even possible!

We’re into February, and folks have started to ask me (Aaron Hockley) about WordCamp Portland 2010.
I’m pleased to announce that Morgan Senkal (aka @morganpdx) will be assuming the leadership of this year’s WordCamp Portland event. Morgan brings a great mix of technical and event experience to the role, and I know she’ll do a great job to continue the tradition of awesome WordCamp events in Portland.
Morgan is starting to outline high-level plans; she’ll be making announcements once she’s actively seeking volunteers, speakers, and folks for other roles.
With an increased focus on some other ventures, I felt that I wouldn’t be able to devote the proper attention to coordinating WordCamp Portland. I’ll still be involved with the event in some smaller role and will help out as needed. A sincere thank you to everyone in the local WordPress community who helped make our first two WordCamps as great as they were.

I’ve been to 19 WordCamps, and I just want to say that Portland the last two years has been way up there in the “awesome WordCamps” tally. Thank you, Aaron, for all the hard work you put in the past two years. I’ll look forward to seeing how Morgan fills your shoes.
Kudos to Aaron for coordinating WordCamp Portland!
