You will be attending WordCamp RI on September 30 and October 1 at New England Institute of Technology in East Greenwich. However, that seems like such a long time to go without any WordCamp sessions. Never fear, WordCamp RI has connections with Boston WordCamp! Here is some information to attend WordPress “summer school.”
WordCamp Boston will be held July 23 and 24 with six learning tracks:
- Designers
- Developers
- WordPress in Higher Education/Introduction to WordPress
- Users/Writers
- Business/Entrepeneurs
- Contributor Day
Where’s the RI connection? We have a few of them.
WordPress RI Meetup organizer, and previous WordCamp RI presenter, Aaron Ware will be speaking on “Empowering your Clients and Being an Advocate for You.” Those of us who have heard Aaron speak know that one of his strengths is talking about weaknesses. That is, he doesn’t gloss over the tough parts of his experiences, which helps us avoid some pitfalls he’s already discovered. Aaron is always an energetic and engaging speaker.
WordPress RI Meetup member, and WordCamp RI speaker alum, Adam Lamagna will reveal “The Frustration with Website Security.” Adam will get right to the heart of website security, even for those who think their website could be of no interest to a hacker. (p.s. That’s not true. Hackers are interested in every website.) While I can’t promise anything, there is a chance that Adam will also throw in a bonus movie reference.
And yet another previous WordCamp RI speaker and member of WordPress RI Meetup, K.Adam White has a fascinating topic “Machine Learning with WordPress.” Want to know more about how Google makes psychedelic images and how poets and other writers can use machine learning techniques for creative results? This is the talk for you. (And by the way, did you possibly think I had a typo with K.Adam? I’m crushed. Here’s an insider peek: K.Adam pronounces his name “Kadam” and so spells it appropriately.)
