Our May WordPress Birmingham meetup is a special one! We’re lucky to have Siobhan McKeown joining us, all the way from Belfast, in Northern Ireland!

Siobhan works at Audrey Capital, WordPress Co-Founder Matt Mullenweg’s angel investment and research firm, where she is the acting “Word Ninja.” Siobhan is a WordPress Docs extraordinaire, a writer, a Smashing Magazine contributor, and she’s also writing a book on the history of WordPress.

I will be doing a Q & A with Siobhan at the meetup. It’s a great opportunity to learn about WordPress, the community, writing, and how Siobhan got to where she is today.

It’s important to note that this meetup will be on Wednesday, the 22nd, NOT our normal Monday meetup schedule. As as additional programming note, Infomedia is graciously offering to provide food for this meetup, so please come if you RSVP so we know how much food to ask for, and bring your appetite!

I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Join us Monday, April 15th at Pale Eddies, where Bill Robbins will talk about A/B testing (and perhaps other testing and metrics) and how he’s used it to better his Organized Themes business. He may also share about his WordPress theme shop experience in general. It’s going to be fun!

We are lucky to have Rachel Carden and Matthew Muro talk to us about how the University of Alabama uses WordPress. They manage a variety of WordPress websites at UA, and each of them also develop popular WordPress plugins.

Join us on Monday, March 18th to hear Rachel and Matt talk about their unique experiences with WordPress. We’ll be upstairs at Pale Eddies at 7:00. Don’t miss it!

The WordPress Birmingham Meetup is scheduled!

Tom Brander will be talking about Using Twitter Bootstrap the Easy Way for Web and WordPress Projects.

Tom is an open source advocate in Birmingham. He uses WordPress, Django, Python, and other open source tools in his consultancy work at OSWCO.

Come join us as Tom talks about Twitter bootstrap, the popular framework for rapidly prototyping and building websites.

As a reminder, the meetup will always be scheduled for the third Monday of the month now!

There’s a meetup Monday, February 4th! We’ll be talking about what’s new in WordPress 3.5 and what’s to come in WordPress 3.6! It’s a bunch of exciting stuff. Come, hang out, and chat about WordPress with us : )

After this meetup, we’ll enter a regular monthly schedule of the 3rd Monday of every month. So the next meetups will be February 18th, March 18th, April 15, etc so that we can have a normal schedule and it will be easier to organize each month. We hope you are excited to get back into it!
