21. Vicky Teinaki who was not a speaker but took notes on twitter for everyone. Awesome work. We love that Jayson Bryant thanked her as one of the team. If we’d thought of that we would have to but actually she just did it. Luckily were able to find her some coffee and a Volt Espresso keepcup.  You can buy the reusuable cafe cups at Pyrenees Bakery / Deli / Cafe at 756 New North Road, Mt Albert.

Still a few sessions to go tomorrow but a great day. Thanks to all of you who came along and shared.

On Sunday morning we have Jeff Ghazally fresh back from WordCampUK, Matt Miller from Mogul & the wordcampnz editor Jason Kemp. Sunday Schedule here

We expect to drill into more live genius bar style specific examples and may even be able to fix, change or at least offer some pointers on the best options for actual sites. Enjoy.

Official kickoff is 9:15 am so you can sleep in a bit but if you want a great coffee – the coffee guy arrives at 8:15am and leaves by 10 so you may need to grab one on the way.

We trust that the speakers are enjoying their keepcups as a small token of our appreciation.

I’ll provide insights into our strategy on writing and managing a business blog as a team.

I’ll also cover the evolution of our blog , starting with our own custom publishing tool and the eventual switch over to WordPress, detailing how and why that resulted in a fundamental shift in our relationship to customers.

We have some interest in “User Experience re-write of the WordPress for iPhone app” which is being organised by some developers in Melbourne.

We also have some Community Building expertise from Miraz Jordan plus insights from her other projects.

Here are two other examples of two more topic ideas from content wiki page

Keep those ideas flowing thanks.

Title: Code without Coding
Name: Ryan Helyer

Many website owners find the coding side of web development to be too complex. They should be able to modify their own site designs easily, without ever having to type a single line of code. The intial automated coding systems produced by PixoPoint web development will be shown, including the development behind the PixoPoint menu plugins. The capabilities built into the current PixoPoint template generator and reasons for open-sourcing the latest developmental system will be outlined. The server-side CSS coding engine which is crucial for the development of these systems will be discussed.

Title: Blogging in Education & Gov
Name: Sarah Jones

Blogging and social media – as more personal and casual forms of communication – are changing the dynamics of the interface between civil servants and the public. The Public Service Code of Conduct states that civil servants must be fair, impartial, responsible and trustworthy. What civil servants say publicly is typically subjected to internal discussion and checked and verified before publication. Protocols specify who can and who can’t speak to the media. Social media presents new challenges to these processes. Lively and Lunchbox blogs, established by the presenter, will be used as examples of how blogging is changing the way government communicates with the public.

Our special guest of honour is Matt Mullenweg – WordPress founder who says “I write code, prose, and music. I’ve taken a few pictures too.” (He continues below.)

“I am the founding developer of WordPress, the blogging software that runs much of this site and millions of other sites around the world. The website says WordPress is “a state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform” but more importantly WordPress is a part of who I am.

Like eating, breathing, music, I can’t not work on WordPress. The project touches a lot of people, something I’ve recently begun to appreciate. I consider myself very lucky to be able to work on something I love so much.”

I’ve been named one of PC World’s Top 50 People on the Web, Inc.com’s 30 under 30, and Business Week’s 25 Most Influential People on the Web. It’s probably all downhill from here.
