Just wanted to give you all an update on what’s going on behind the scenes of Wordcamp Australia. We’ve changed the dates around a slight bit, and Wordcamp Australia is now going to be held on the 29th and 30th of November.

Sorry for the inconvenience, but we thought the benefits of holding the event a week earlier more than outweighed the negatives, and we’re pleased to announce that Matt Mullenweg, the principle architect of WordPress and the founder of Automattic, will be attending and giving a presentation.

We’re still in the process of confirming the venue, and will post an announcement very soon regarding the location and also open up ticket registration.

Early ticket purchases will be $60 + booking fee for a short time only. Standard registration will be $80 + booking fee. The cost will cover both days and lunch will be included.

We’re going to have a Wordpress meetup in Sydney this coming Thursday, September 11th at The Bavarian Beir Cafe in Moore Park. You can check it out and add your name at Upcoming.

If you’re interested in helping out, Anthony Cole is putting together a list of volunteers. Volunteers will be helping out with registration on the day and possibly setup in the morning or the day before.

Let us know if you’ve got any input on the event. We’d appreciate to hear any feedback you have got.

We’ve had intermittent issues with the contact forms on the site, so if you’ve sent us something and we haven’t replied, please, feel free to resend it. The forms should be working now or you can just email via our contact form.
