Wine camp PDX

by jltitus on September 27, 2009

Last weekend was so much fun and so crazy! I LOVED WordcampPDX this year. Last year was great but this year really rocked it! I have a ton of ideas floating around in my head of things I want to do to my site as well as other activities I want to work on related to Wordpress.  One of those activities is WineCamp PDX. I got the brain child while I was sitting in one of the sessions last week. I mean, the Portland area has great wineries and a real wine following. Why not have a one or two day unconference related to wine. I tweeted about my idea last week and got a bit of interest. This weekend I decided to make it official.

I got the http://www.winecamppdx.com domain and another Twitter account @winecamppdx. I spent most, if not all, of Saturday creating a wiki for people to start helping plan and put their ideas. It’s at http://winecamppdx.pbworks.com/. It’s been really great to see people posting ideas and comments on the project. I also got the WineCampPDX site up as well. Right now the site is just a single page with some general information about WineCampPDX and a subscription box so that I can find out the interest in the project. I got the site up yesterday and in about 3 hours I had 15 people subscribe. That’s 15 people interested in WineCampPDX. My iPhone has been going off like crazy with people following @winecamppdx or my twitter @jltitus. I’m so excited and hope this really takes off. I’ll keep those of you reading this updated.

  • Lorelle,

    Thanks for the reminder about WordPress.com. I just snagged that this morning thanks to you :D

    I'll also contact Bean Fairbanks. I have to say, I'm super excited about this project.
  • Congrats! Make sure you get the URL on WordPress.com, just to cover your bases. :D

    I also recommend you contact Bean Fairbanks of the Wine Beer Washington Blog who was at WordCampPDX and one of the key leaders of WordCamp Seattle. She would probably love to help.

    I love it when this kind of energy and motivation comes out of a WordCamp. Go get them!! Rock on!
