Dr. Andy Fragen is a trauma/acute care surgeon as well as a prolific WordPress plugin author. One of his plugins, GitHub Updater, allows you to host WordPress plugins and themes on GitHub instead of WordPress.org. Andy supports numerous WordCamps and is an active member of the WordPress community in southern California. I had the pleasure of talking with Andy at WordCamp Orange County. He's a fascinating person and I really think you'll enjoy our conversation.
Steve Zehngut, Mark Benzakein, Sé Reed and Jason Cosper discussed WordCamp Orange County 2019 its organizing crew and how well the event went. The theme this year was The Life Aquatic. They gave out Krochet Kids red beanies depicted in the movie. Sé mentioned WordCamp Long Beach #WCLBC and her involvement with that camp. The discussion changed to the Business Track that Steve ran on Saturday including 1.5 hours of content per session.Steve shared their method of speaker selection and how they do the blind speaker selection method. He also mentioned how they invite people to talk at their event and how they fill in speakers for topics they want to have discussed. If you are wanting to speak you should submit early and submit a few. When many people submit the same topic sometimes they will form a panel to make it easier to get all of them involved in it. The popular topic this go around was project management second was SEO people trying to sell things.The panel talked about the afterparty at Durty Nellies and how a fight broke out no WordCampers were involved but Steve did get hit.Sunday had three tracks where the event ends with Plugin-a-palooza. Jason Cosper was one of the judges and spoke about the ways in which they judged these plugins. Here are the top three:Assistant – Every Day Productivity AppsWP DebuggingUsher - Keyboard ShortcutsWPwatercooler was at the event and held a session just before Plugin-a-palooza you can watch it here: EP319 – WPwatercooler Live at WordCamp OC 2019 #WCOCJoin us on this episode of WPwatercooler by visiting our Participant guidelines page.WPwatercooler network is sponsored by ServerPress makers of DesktopServer.

This week on WPwatercooler we streamed live from WordCamp Orange County 2019. The majority of our regulars on WPwatercooler are local to Southern California and many of us attended WordCamp OC. The WordCamp organizers were gracious in giving us a time slot just before their legendary Plugin-a-palooza event they do each year. As with most WPwatercooler episodes we didn’t have a topic planned and asked the audience what we should talk about. Here is the result!Panelists: Sé Reed, Leo Postovoit, Steve Zehngut, Jason Tucker, and Jason CosperJoin us on this episode of WPwatercooler by visiting our Participant guidelines page.WPwatercooler network is sponsored by ServerPress makers of DesktopServer.

This week Bridget and Jen Miller discuss how you can market yourself by live tweeting a WordCampLive Tweeting at WordCampBridget WillardYou Too Can Be A GuruJen Miller @jenblogs4u Offering Lead Conversion Tools and BloggingNeed Someone To Blog? 100% Unique Website Content. Need Safe Blog Posts? Hire a Ghost Blogger…Jen – been using twitter for 6 yearsfinally realized twitter is a relationship building mediumJen wanted to be a Guru tooBridget – in 2012 was helping with a political campaignShe would listen over the internet and tweet out quotes with relevant hashtags to help with exposureWhen she finally made it to a WordCamp, it seemed so obvious that Live Tweeting would be a thing you should doBridget’s tips & tricks: You Too Can Be A GuruFind out the official hashtag for the conference you are at, and if there isn’t one, make up one that makes sense, but try to make sure it’s not already being usedFind out who speakers are and their Twitter handlesSome WordCamps have speaker twitter lists that you can followA good plan to have a document local on your device with your information / schedule – not allWordCamps have wi-fi and not all wi-fi is dependable! Also bring a powerstrip – good for you and is the ultimate “friend-maker”! Take your own personal hotspot and name it well – brand it with your business name – may bring new contacts.WHAT YOU DON’T DO – be careful not to mistype the twitter handles of the speakersCopy the hashtag of the event and the twitter handle of the speaker and load it into the tweet box and wait for those “tweetable moments. Then when they come along, you can just add in the text and send!These speakers are giving of their time and are unpaid – If you can amplify what the speaker is saying to that room and get it to more people – not only are you helping them, but you are helping yourself too!Live-tweeting doesn’t make it harder for you to pay attention – if you are listening carefully for those tweetable moments, you are paying even closer attention than normal and potentially absorbing more than you would without live-tweetingLive-tweeting is also really helpful for those “Armchair WordCampers” who weren’t able to make it to the event, but still try to follow along during the weekendTwubs Is good for following hashtags twubs.com Follow Hashtags. Discover Conversations.If there is closed-captioning at the event, you can use it to double-check your tweets and make sure you’re not misquoting anyoneMake sure that you are using an accurate photo of yourself on twitter so that people will recognize you when you attend WordCamps! Also, start watching the hashtag for the camp as soon as it’s available so you can interact with other attendees and develop relationships!Get to know your fellow attendees before the event, what your interests are, the work you do, and even just general chit-chat — helps to break the ice when you finally meet in person! Especially if you are from out of town and don’t know anyone.Save a list of great quotes from the different sessions you attend, especially ones that are too long or just too good to use for only Twitter and use them as the base for a blog post/recap of the eventIf you can get images of the person speaking as well as a quote, that’s very valuable. Lots of people will tweet quotes, but not everyone will get a good picture!You can even help WordCamp organizers by tweeting out the WIFI name, and location of afterparties, etc.Make your goals achievable – Try to find ONE thing you can quote – the one thing that resonates with you…. And tweet that outIf you’re not quick enough to get the exact quote from a speaker, it’s okay to rephrase or summarize it in your own words, and even add your thoughts Make sure to give context to your tweets – if someone doesn’t know what you are talking about, then they can’t respond!The Next Chapter-BlogBridget: My friends, my family, my career are all at WordPress. It all started in June 2013 at WordCamp Orange County.

Chris Ford: teacher, designer, manager, entrepreneur and oh so much more! I’ve known Chris for years through the WordPress community and got to meet her for the first time at WordCamp Orange County 2014. More recently I’ve had the privilege of working with her at Crowd Favorite, where she was a project manager. Although we’ve both returned to self-employment, I enjoyed learning from her. I thought I knew the basics of project management, but Chris demonstrated how to do it at scale. Join us this week to learn practical project management skills you can take into your business as well as where Chris’ creative journey will take her next.
