WordCamp San Diego 2013: PressNomics For All

Published in Business on March 25, 2013

This was an interesting year for me when it comes to WordCamp San Diego.

It was the third one being held in the city and the first in which I was not involved. I have to admit, it was odd but pleasant. I remember a conversation in which someone told me that WordCamp organizers are perhaps the most under-appreciated volunteers in the WordPress eco-system, and I have to admit they probably are. Having been part of the organizing team for the first two I know first hand the obstacles they face and have to overcome to be successful. Which is also one of the reasons I am volunteering to help the WordCamp Guidelines committee.

WordPress Businesses Find a Home in Pressnomics

Published in Business on November 12, 2012

In March of this year, 2012, I remember first hearing about the event. It was publicly announced in one of the early renditions of WPLateNight. I remember thinking this sounds like something interesting. So much so that I took a minute to write my first impression and what I understood the event to be about. I think it is fair to say that it did not disappoint and my understanding was spot on.

Amidst the silent whispers in virtual corners and public naysayers the event made its first appearance in Chandler, Arizona last week and did so in style. Although there were various glitches along the way, none were overwhelming enough to say the event was anything but a success. In doing so, cementing a home for all businesses within the WordPress ecosystem.

Pressnomics: A Day at Gangplank

Published in Business on November 7, 2012

In Chandler, Arizona, a day early, in preparation of the first Pressnomics event. And event tailored for businesses in the WordPress ecosystem.

Spending it at the local co-work facility, Gangplank. Can’t wait to bring something similar to my little city — Menifee, California.

WordPress Business EcoSystem: Pressnomics

Published in Business on November 5, 2012

Tomorrow I will be boarding a plane headed, at a crisp 400 mph, to Phoenix, Arizona for the first WordPress conference tailored for the business ecosystem, Pressnomics. I remember when the announcement was first made earlier this year and my initial thoughts on what a conference like this would entail. Surprisingly, my thoughts haven’t really changed.

I do however find myself wondering if it’ll meet, exceed or fail all the above expectations. I can almost see pundits on either side ready to bash or praise the event. I wonder what insights will be shared. Will it ride on the coat tails of the recent community summit? Will this kumbaya like feeling that seems to have poured out of the summit find itself into Pressnomics?

And to those that bash me for talking InfoSec, you obviously haven’t heard me talk business before. :) The issue isn’t the subject, it’s the talking…

Here’s to an interesting week. Cheers!

The Concept of a “Pressnomics” Conference

Published in Business on May 2, 2012

Today it was publicly released that there is a new conference for businesses that leverage the WordPress platform as part of their service offering or as part of the business architecture — Pressnomics. It took me a minute to sick back and really think about the conference and how it differs from what we know of today as a WordCamp.

At first glance I couldn’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, it had more to do with getting away from the Foundation’s oversight and breaking free from the perceived shackles. I would probably argue that some might still think that at first glance, and so I decided to think through it a bit more.
