Don’t sit around being sad that WordCamp Atlanta is over. We invite you to join us at our local WordPress Meetups<\/a> where you can get involved in our community and have a bit of that WordCamp goodness all year round.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Russell Fair and I were asked by WordPress Foundation to organize WordCamp Atlanta. We were targeted, I mean chosen, because we were both active in our local WordPress community hosting Meetup Groups.<\/p>\n

\"WordCamp<\/p>\n

At first we thought, \u201cNo way.\u00a0 We\u2019re way too busy.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 But, after losing our minds we stepped up and took it on.<\/p>\n

You can read more about my experience Organizing WordCamp Atlanta<\/a>\u00a0 in a post I wrote recently. There is a lot of magic in stepping up and getting involved in the WordPress Community. I\u2019m very glad I did.<\/p>\n

Over the last four years, I\u2019ve had a lot of fun, made great friends, learned a lot and have had some big adventures all because I said yes.<\/p>\n

If you get yourself to some WordPress Meetups around town, you’ll learn some things you didn’t know, and perhaps end up having a few of your own adventures. Here is a post with more info about the Atlanta Area WordPress Meetups.<\/a><\/p>\n

What are you waiting for?<\/p>\n
