By now you should know that in SoCal there are no shortage of local WordPress meetups. On the outskirts of LA County, on the cusp of the Inland Empire, in the town of Glendora, is a brand-spankin’ new WordPress Meetup: The Route66 WordPress meetup group! This new and awesome group will be meeting at the Kicks on 66 co-working space in Glendora. It’s a wonderful space as well, run by Zach Swire, founder of the startup e-Good.
The meetup is co-run by two awesome local community members, Peter S. Parker and Christopher Frazier (Frazier Media), both of whom are great people that I have had the chance to get to know. I can’t think of two more passionate individuals to head this group up.
If you’re in the general vicinity of Glendora, you NEED to hit up their meetup. In fact their first meetup is August 11th! Which happens to be the day after speaker submissions are due people! Be sure to checkout and RSVP for their meetup!
Continuing our blog posts about the LA area WordPress community, I bring you the Hollywood WordPress meetup group, headed up by the incomparable Greg Douglas! His hair is almost as cool as my own, but he’s got a soothing voice, and business acumen for days! Yes, days!!
Mr. Douglas is the agency principal of Premium Interactive and co-found of Arc-Ctrl as well as one of the guys behind Code Cavalry, a service that connects web professionals to people who need a little bit of help.
The Hollywood WordPress discusses a lot about building your own consultancy or pushing your business forward using WordPress. That’s one of the things I love about these meetups, they’re all a little bit different and have their own voice and personality.
Greg’s a wonderful moderator who gets the most out of his guests for his attendees. Be sure to check out the meetup details here: http://www.meetup.com/hollywood-wordpress/
Hey folks, with things in full-swing planning wise, we have announcements forthcoming for the tracks we’re planning. We’ll begin pairing down our speaker selections soon, in preparation for announcing speakers after the August 10th deadline.
What does that all mean? It means you all need to up your game and submit a talk, if you haven’t already. Get down on it, people. You have until Aug 10th to make your voice heard and sharing your awesomeness with the LA WP community.
If you’re in the greater LA area and live in and around the South Bay then you should probably know about the South Bay meetup, if you don’t already!
The South Bay meetup is led by one of our very own organizers, Adam Silver, who runs the Kitchen Sink WP Podcast and also the ConciergeWP maintenance service.
Adam is a swell guy, with a keen eye for photography and funny quips for days. He’s an avid WordPressor and active community participant. If you’ve been a part of the SoCal WP community for any length of time then no doubt you’ve crossed paths and conversations with Mr. Silver.

Hey folks! Guess what? WordCamp LA tickets are now on sale!!

SWARM! SWARM! SWARM!
A lot of people that attend a WordCamp do so for the first time, in the case of LA, we find more folks attending for the first time than those who are returning attendees. Cool stuff, right? I think so, too! So I’d like to tell you all about Karen McCamy, she’s a swell person who educates a swath of people at her WordPress 101 group. Any skill level is welcome, but she really shines in helping people just finding their way in using WordPress.
I haven’t known Karen all that long, but I usually hear her name mentioned at some point, or see her at a local WP event. She’s a wonderful resource that people rave about on and on!
So if you happen to be one of those people looking for a light along the way as you learn WordPress, definitely reach out to Karen and attend her meetup group. You’ll be glad you did!
We need your help!
