Next Thursday: Debugging WordPress

We are counting down the days till WordCamp Milwaukee 2013! Just ahead of Foundation Friday next week, John James Jacoby (JJJ) will lead a special edition of the Milwaukee WordPress Meetup on Debugging WordPress.

JJJ works at the highest levels of WordPress: He’s the lead developer of BuddyPress and BBPress, but also codes on the WordPress core and the WordPress.com VIP program. He’s also a recent transplant to southeastern Wisconsin, which is cool by itself!

Next Thursday, we will be learning the keys to debugging WordPress and getting to the bottom of all of those problems you have with your WordPress site, custom theme, or plugin. JJJ will get down and dirty and let us know how to find all those WP bugs that are hiding. He’ll also be speaking Saturday at WordCamp on “Scrubbing WordPress – The Actions Timeline.”

The fine folks at C2 Graphics are sponsoring food and beverages for the meetup, so there’s no need to stop for food on the way. Just head on over to Bucketworks (the same location as WordCamp) Thursday night, June 6 at 7:00 PM.

Not to discourage you, but with a whole bunch of WordPress folk gathering at the Camp site, we’ll be taking advantage. Expect to be asked to help set up for Foundation Friday.

Please RSVP at the Meetup site, so we have enough food!

Celebrate 10 Years of WordPress tonight

It’s been ten years (and a day) since Matt Mullenweg revived a dying blogging platform and started building this community that makes WordPress.

WordPress was released on May 27, 2003, but with Memorial Day we are waiting a day and doing it on Tuesday.

Come celebrate with us at Callanan’s Parkway Pub, 11505 West National Avenue, West Allis, WI (see map here)

This will be a purely social gathering with no formal presentation. Just a gathering to network and enjoy some food and drinks.

This is part of a world-wide meetup by WordPress, so RSVP here: http://www.meetup.com/WordPress/Milwaukee-WI/
