WordCamp Toronto 2013

It’s on … and, yes, I am involved with the event as a co-organizer.

WordCamp Toronto 2013 will be held in the fall at a well known and historical Toronto location. The full details of the date and the venue will follow soon …

This year, the current WordCamp Toronto Organizers team members are, in alphabetical order:

Obviously the official announcements will be easily found at the official WordCamp Central site: http://2013.toronto.wordcamp.org/, but we will also be making use of the official unofficial WordCamp Toronto site at: http://wcto.ca where you will be able to see WordCamp Toronto as it is planned … and be able to participate in those discussions.

Some important points to note with this year’s version of WordCamp Toronto:

I am looking forward to an exciting next six months as we plan, organize, and have a great deal of fun presenting WordCamp Toronto 2013 …
… and I am looking forward to seeing everyone there, too!

Commemorative WordCamp Calling Card

I realized I did not include the commemorative calling card I created for WordCamp Toronto 2010 after I wrote yesterday’s post. These unique cards fit a niche market I like to address: short-run custom calling cards.

Here are the front and back images:

Feel free to contact myself if you have a need for your own short-run custom calling card.

Successful WordCamp Toronto 2010 #wcto2010

WordCamp Toronto 2010 came to a close today a little behind schedule but filled with great information, wonderful ideas, and a growing network of new and old friends. A hearty thanks goes out to Matthew Yuill and Melissa Feeney for all their hard works and efforts organizing this WordCamp.

I offered my time at WordCamp as a volunteer. I believe that choice was one of the best I have made. I was given the opportunity to meet and greet almost every single attendee from “behind the bar” giving out the complimentary tee shirts.

There were many volunteers at the event and each one really appeared to enjoy the time at their stations … don’t let these candid photos fool you, these three “behind the bar” with me were all having a great time:

Claudia
Miroslav
Janine

Although I missed getting pictures of the other volunteers (Zamina, Paul, Sam, and Mike) they all did a great job and appeared to really enjoy themselves as well. I have a few pictures taken with my iPhone I will need to go through (and add at a later date?) but in the meantime I would like to add my thanks to the volunteers for their enthusiasm and strong work ethic. A job well done by all!

… and by all measures a very successful WordCamp!
