For a mere $20 and $4 in tolls, I enjoyed a full weekend of WordCamp at the Frisco municipal center. About 130 WordPress bloggers, technologists, and business people were in attendance. Members of the core WordPress team, including Matt Mullenweg, attended and were available for casual interaction and feedback about our favorite publishing platform.
For me, the most valuable part of the conference is in meeting extraordinary people. I had the honor of meeting Lorrelle, who did a wonderful job of making everyone feel welcome.
