Matt Mullenweg, founding developer of open source blogging platform WordPress, has
announced WordCamp, a one-day conference for WordPress users and developers. It's being held for the first time on August 5 in San Fancisco and is following the example of
BarCamp, including "free BBQ for lunch, WordPress t-shirts, and a full day of both user and developer discussion." According to Mullenweg, fellow Wordpress developers Donncha and Podz will be on hand from Ireland and England, respectively. Having recently installed the latest version of WordPress on my personal blog and being impressed all over again, I'd love to go to WordCamp, but it probably isn't in the cards.

I have been using WordPress for a lot of custom blog stuff for a while, and I am really into this platform. It is flexible and easy to use, even for your users to sign in and post without help. I would also love to go to WordCamp, but like you it is most likely not in the cards for me either.

I can't say that I'll be going either, but I'll chime in for the "I wish I could go" and the "I love me some wordpress" crowds.
It's an amazingly flexible platform, and the plugin structure is pretty serious genius. It would be a really unique opportunity to hang around with some of the brains that make wp and all of its contributed plugin and theme goodness happen.
