Venues!
It seems like its been quiet around here for a few weeks, but the truth is its been busier than ever. The biggest news, we’ve locked down our locations: The Joe Crowley Student Union at the University of Nevada, Reno. If you’re a WordCamp veteran, yes its the same location as last year. The Joe (as students like to call it) has a beautiful theater and ballrooms that are perfect for events like ours.
We’ve also got a location for our workshops and development day: The DeLaMare Science and Technology Library. Tod Colegrove, the head librarian of DeLaMare, has been so supportive of fostering science and technology on campus and we’re really excited that he’s hosting us for our first two-day camp.
The New Look
If you’re here and reading this you’ve probably already noticed the shiny new look. The theme was designed by me and implemented with the help of the totally awesome Daryl Koopersmith. If you’re curious, its a child theme of the WordCamp base theme that changes few things other than the css. The WordCamp Base theme (also by Daryl) is lovely and flexible, so not a lot had to be done to make Reno-Tahoe WordCamp-y.
Sunday Workshops
If you haven’t heard, we’ll be holding two 5-hour workshops on Sunday, June 5th alongside our Development Day: a beginner’s WordPress Bootcamp and a start-to-finish Child Theme Development Workshop. More information is coming on these, but if you’re interested go register or read more about them.
Speakers and Sponsors!
We’ve got a lovely new sponsor since our last update. Noble Studios is a Carson City-based web and UI thinktank that knows WordPress is on the rise. Big thanks to Noble Studios!
Remember, we’re still looking for awesome speakers and sponsors. Please head over to the speaker and sponsor pages if you’re interested!
Early Bird Registration is still open!
