WordPress Cape Town Meetup 3

WordPress, for those of you who don’t know, is a Blogging platform which has now moved into the CMS arena as well. It’s a very versatile platform, and boasts growing communities worldwide that support it fully. In Cape Town there’s a community like this. I’m very excited that this week brings the third WordPress Cape Town Meetup. A few months ago we gathered the River Club in Obs for the first meetup. The second meetup I hosted here at the Bandwidth Barn, and the third is coming up. Nur from Nomad-One is organizing this one, and he’s been pretty busy I tell you.

Speakers for the day will include:

Mark Bloomfield – WordPress as a CMS
Johann Botha – WordPress Security
Rafiq Phillips – SEO for wordpress
Adriaan Pienaar – Topic to be confirmed
Ashley Shaw – WordPress MU, bbpress, Buddy Press
Dave Duarte – Muti & Social bookmarking

We’re doing a bit of sponsorship for this event, but the other sponsors are much more important in terms of their contributions. See a full list on the sidebar of the official WordPress Cape Town blog – http://www.wordpress.org.za/. Nur, I think the blog needs some design work dude! :)

I plan to speak at the next event, these past few weeks have just been too busy to think about that. Watch this space, of course!
