Wow, I’m so excited to see so many people interested in the idea of a WineCamp here in Portland, Oregon! In little more than a week 23 people have entered their email to be notified of WineCampPDX news. That’s pretty impressive.
It’s obvious that there is a lot of interest in WineCampPDX. The next natural step is to get those interested in planning the event together.
Those that completed the subscription form on the September post should have an invitation to the planning meeting October 13th.
If you want to attend, but don’t have an invite, please email me, Jona Titus, at jonatitus@winecamppdx.com or tweet @winecamppdx /or @jltitus on Twitter.

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.
