WordCamp is coming to my home town of Chicago this weekend, at the Chicago Mart Plaza. If you’re in the area, pick up a ticket at http://wordcampchicago.com/registration. You’d better hurry because there are only 16 advanced tickets left. I’ll be there (along with some slick IntenseDebate stickers for your laptop) and I’d love to meet you!
In case you’re not familiar with it:
WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other. WordCamps are open to WordPress.com and WordPress.org users alike.
Ah spring time… it’s definitely in full swing: trees are greening, days are getting longer, NHL playoffs are here (Go Red Wings!), and Automatticians and WordPress enthusiasts alike are flocking in their annual migration West to San Francisco for some good old-fashioned geekery. Yep, I’m talking about the 4th annual WordCamp San Francisco this weekend at the Mission Bay Conference Center.

So if you’re around this weekend and planning on heading to WordCamp, we’d love to meetup. Drop us a line in the comments below or on Twitter: we’re @mkoenig, @jfox85, @isaackeyet, @beaulebens, and of course @intensedebate. I’ll also be presenting a lightning session on Improving Your Comments with IntenseDebate, so be sure to check that out!
If you can’t make it to WordCamp but are in the San Francisco area, we’ll be in town for the next two weeks and we’re always looking to make new friends.
WordCamp Boston is tomorrow, and I’m on my way out to the East Coast to attend (and try some New England clam chowder). If you’re in the Boston area or are planning on attending WordCamp, drop me a line on Twitter to meetup. I’ve got swanky new IntenseDebate stickers for your laptop! 🙂

Last month Beau spoke at WordCamp NYC and he had the opportunity to demo IntenseDebate. Since we thought internet access might be a problem, Beau pre-recorded a screencast (using iShowU for Mac) running through all the features, then just talked over the top. The first video (below) is the pre-recorded screencast, and the second video provides audio and some shots of Beau speaking. Play them both at the same time and it’s like you’re actually there!
Exciting news: Beau and I are heading to Jakarta next month on behalf of Automattic (our parent company) and IntenseDebate to speak at WordCamp Indonesia! IntenseDebate is a proud sponsor of this WordCamp. If you’re in the region, book your tickets around January 30, 2010 and come and chat about WordPress with a bunch of like-minded folks! Grab a WCID badge for your blog and help spread the word (there’s a badge for you even if you’re not attending).
Hopefully we can get IntenseDebate translated to Indonesian in time. If anyone wants to help, please email me at labs@intensedebate.com.
