Look for all the videos to eventually be available on WordPress.TV’s WordCampTV. It takes some time as there is editing to be done and many procedural steps to be followed, but they will be there! (Videotaping sessions is a new WordCamp requirement). You can watch presentations from other WordCamps in the meantime.

Also check the WP Austin site where we will share the presentations.

Job Board

As promised, here’s what was on the Job Board at WordCamp Austin. Now Nick can erase it all!

A few weren’t quite legible by the end of the day, so if that was you then contact us and we’ll get it fixed!

So, kinda going in a clockwise circle around the board. . .

Our small army of folks started arriving at 7:00 am to help get everything set up and ready for registration. Shirts and name badges were already prepped and ready to go thanks to the dedicated work of a number of people a few days before, so it was easy work to lay everything out. Others helped hang signs and banners, put out beverages, set up electrical cords and tables in the classrooms (we made sure everyone could plug in!), and lay out our sponsor swag.

And then off we went!

Throughout the day it was difficult to find anything that needed to be done, because the volunteers took charge of every tiny detail and made sure things ran like clockwork.

• We need recycling containers? Done.
• Speaker release forms? Done.
• Presentation introductions and surveys? Done.
• Happiness bar assistance? Done, done, done.

It was fantastic to see how many people took the initiative and got the job done – even if it was a task we had never anticipated beforehand!

At the end of the day, the volunteers moved back in like a swarm of fire ants and magically, in minutes everything was back in its place, thrown away or loaded back into vehicles… as if we had never been there at all!

The truth be told, the whole event seemed to run effortlessly, but only because so many people worked so hard behind the scenes.

The beauty of WordPress is the community, and in Austin, our WordCamp volunteers proved that community is the backbone of everything we do.

From the Organizing Committee, and on behalf of all of our attendees:
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!

Trust me, a lot of very tired and brain-filled WordCampers enjoyed the buffet, bar and company!

We especially enjoyed the bowl-balancing talent of one of the servers!

Inspired by the great weekend we had at WordCamp Austin, we knocked out a quick page* to connect with us. If you are interested in working with chill people knocking down challenging projects in creative and fast paced teams, then give us a shout and we will get in touch.

The Happiness table was staffed all day by volunteers and speakers. They were available to answer questions about plugins and coding and all things WordPress as well as follow up with questions on the speakers’ presentations.

Did you recognize any official WordPress Happiness Engineers?

Thanks to Bill Erickson for bringing the idea to Austin and to Nick Batik for loaning his newly-erased white board for the project and to Sandi and Audrey for implementing the Job Board yesterday!

Here’s how it evolved over the day . . .

Please check back later – I’ll try to list all these. Also be sure to check our sponsors’ websites as well.

And, BTW, did you know WordPress is hiring as well? Check out jobs at Automattic!
