My Wordcamp UK thoughts

July 21st, 2008 · 2 Comments

I wasn’t able to do the Sunday (family commitments etc), but i did do a speaking gig on the Saturday morning and it seemed to go down well.

I felt I jumped around too much and didnt keep on a tight enough track with my powerpoint presentation, but it was bouncy and seemed to keep everyone interested.

The guy I went to this with, gave me a 7/10, so not bad for my 1st speaking engagement!

General thoughts

I think the most significant thing was the sense of common identity amongst us all…after all, were all wordpress people. And this ‘geekyness’ was cool.

it was this sense of community that really impressed me. It is why the internet is so special and in many ways it was a vivid manifestation of why the Internet is so powerful, i.e.

  • the idea of collaborative working for a greater goal
  • a sense of shared identity
  • an interesting cross section of people from teccies to writers coming together
  • a sense that in some way being part of the blogging community can make a difference to the world ( I really believe it can!)

I hope to be a part of forthcoming wordcamps, since this was a great ‘recharger’ and a good way to give back some of the knowledge and ‘good stuff’ I have enjoyed along the way.

So thanks to Tony Scott and all the others who helped make this happen. (thats Tony Below)
