We are at work on getting our WordCamp Atlanta 2014 site set up and ready to go. In the meantime, here is a description about WordCamps and WordPress Meetups. For more WordPress goodness, check out the posts on this site as well as WordPress TV<\/a> to see WordCamp presentations from WordCamps all over the world. <\/p>\n

<\/a>According to WordCamp Central<\/a>, <\/p>\n

WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

WordCamps are not-for-profit events that grow out of the local WordPress communities. In Atlanta, our community is made up of people that are active in our local WordPress Meetup Groups. <\/p>\n

Meetup Groups<\/h2>\n

\"Meetup <\/p>\n

We have several WordPress Meetups, held all over the Metro-Atlanta area. These Meetups feature specific topics geared to the various levels ranging from beginners through developers. The Meetups are a good way to learn more about WordPress and how to use it, whatever your level is. If you have some degree of proficiency, WordPress Meetups are a great way to share your WordPress knowledge with others by getting involved and speaking. A good number of our WordCamp speakers are drawn from speakers from our local Meetups.<\/p>\n

Sign up at Meetup.org and search for WordPress Atlanta where you can find and join our various local WordPress Meetup Groups. You will then receive e-mails announcing the groups and their monthly topics. You can come to one or all. We have included a list with links to some of them below.<\/p>\n

Rather than just waiting for our yearly WordCamp event, we encourage you to check the topics and get to the Meetups if you are interested in getting involved with WordPress and WordCamps. We are a very diverse group in every way and would love to have you get involved.<\/p>\n
