<p>If I could only share one tip, it would be this: <strong>Take responsibility for your WordCamp experience.</strong></p>
<p>Everything else I&#8217;m listing below can be summed up in that one piece of advice (and is true for just about any conference or meetup). It manifests itself in a variety of ways.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you aren&#8217;t enjoying/learning where you are, move. We try to cater to all attendees throughout the day, but not all sessions will interest everyone. There are normally multiple sessions going on at once, people hanging out in the halls, people at the Genius Bar or developer garages &#8211; if the session you&#8217;re in isn&#8217;t to your liking, take action and see what else is going on.</li>
<li>Ask questions in sessions. Speakers love the opportunity to share things they know will be of value to their audience. They know they are doing this when they are addressing questions.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t be shy about approaching and talking to speakers. Most speakers I know really enjoy feedback, related discussions, etc. Plus, it gives them a nice ego boost.</li>
<li>Aggressively seek out people you want to connect with. At a conference I often get more out of conversations at random times and places than I do out of the structured sessions. If there is someone you want to talk to, go find them &#8211; don&#8217;t regret not doing so afterward. The corollary to this is to be respectful if they are busy or for some reason aren&#8217;t interested in conversing with you.</li>
<li>Find your own time for networking. Don&#8217;t rely on structured time to connect with people. Join a conversation between sessions, talk with people next to you. Chat up someone that asked a good question in a session.</li>
<li>Lastly, Remember that this is a community event organized by community volunteers with the help of local sponsors. We try hard to <a href="http://2010.boulder.wordcamp.org/2010/06/14/please-complete-our-interest-survey/" rel="external">get input</a> from the attendees and structure the event accordingly. I can&#8217;t speak for other WordCamps, but I know that last year&#8217;s WordCamp Denver and this year&#8217;s WordCamp Boulder are just about break-even propositions for us. Please temper your praise and constructive feedback accordingly.</li>
</ul>
<p>It&#8217;s been great to see how WordCamps have grown over the years and I&#8217;m very pleased to be able to help organize the Denver/Boulder editions. Keep up the community spirit and have a great time.</p>

<p>The WordPress community&#8217;s growth over the years has been tremendous, and we want to reinvest in it. So we&#8217;re taking the next two months to concentrate on improving WordPress.org. A major part of that will be improving the infrastructure of the plugins directory. More than 10,000 plugins are in the directory, every one of them GPL compatible and free as in both beer and speech. Here&#8217;s what we have in mind:</p>
<p>We want to provide developers the tools they need to build the best possible plugins. We&#8217;re going to provide better integration with the forums so you can support your users. We&#8217;ll make more statistics available to you so you can analyze your user base, and over time we hope to make it easier for you to manage, build, and release localized plugins.</p>
<p>We want to improve how the core software works with your plugin and the plugin directory. We&#8217;re going to focus on ensuring seamless upgrades by making the best possible determinations about compatibility, and offer continual improvements to the plugin installer. And we also want to give you a better developer tool set like SVN notifications and improvements to the bug tracker.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re also going to experiment with other great ideas to help the community help plugin authors. We want it to be easy for you to offer comments to plugin authors and the community, including user reviews and better feedback. We may experiment with an adoption process for abandoned plugins as a way to revitalize hidden gems in the directory. I&#8217;m not sure there is a better way to show how extendable WordPress is and how awesome this community is at the same time.</p>
<p>As <a href="http://wordpress.org/development/2010/06/thelonious/">Matt said in the 3.0 release announcement</a>, our goal isn&#8217;t to make everything perfect all at once. But we think incremental improvements can provide us with a great base for 3.1 and beyond, and for the tens of millions of users, and hundreds of millions of plugin downloads to come.</p>";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}s:7:"pubDate";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:31:"Fri, 02 Jul 2010 17:48:34 +0000";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}s:32:"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";a:1:{s:7:"creator";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:"data";s:12:"Andrew Nacin";s:7:"attribs";a:0:{}s:8:"xml_base";s:0:"";s:17:"xml_base_explicit";b:0;s:8:"xml_lang";s:0:"";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:"data";s:13:"

<blockquote><p>Most people approach their work in one of three ways: as a job, a career, or a calling.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you see your work as a job, you do it only for the money, you look at the clock frequently while dreaming about the weekend ahead, and you probably pursue hobbies, which satisfy your effectance needs more thoroughly than does your work.</li>
<li>If you see your work as a career, you have larger goals of advancement, promotion, and prestige.</li>
<li>If you see your work as a calling, however, you find your work intrinsically fulfilling you are not doing it to achieve something else. You see your work as contributing to the greater good or as playing a role in some larger enterprise the worth of which seems obvious to you. You have frequent experiences of flow during the work day, and you neither look forward to &#8220;quitting time&#8221; nor feel the desire to shout, &#8220;Thank God it’s Friday!&#8221; You would continue to work, perhaps even without pay, if you suddenly became very wealthy.</li>

Whether you&#8217;re on vacation or burning the midnight oil, attending a local/nearby <a href="http://wordcamp.org">WordCamp</a> is a great way to spend a weekend. Meet other WordPress users, developers, designers &amp; consultants, learn a little something, maybe share a little of your own experience and knowledge, and break bread (or raise a toast) with new friends and collaborators. Here are the WordCamps scheduled for this summer, along with what I know about them.</p>
<p>July 3: <a href="http://wordcamp.de/">WordCamp Germany</a> &#8211; Berlin, Germany. I love it that they&#8217;re using BuddyPress for their event site. They have multiple tracks, and what looks to be a nice variety of sessions. It&#8217;s only a few days away, so if you&#8217;re thinking of going, get your tickets now!</p>
<p>July 10: <a href="http://2010.boulder.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Boulder</a> &#8211; Boulder, Colorado, USA. This was WordCamp Denver last year, but the organizers have decided to mix it up and go back and forth between Denver and Boulder, which also has a thriving tech community. This year the venue is the Boulder Theater (so pretty!), and there will sessions for bloggers and devs alike, plus a Genius Bar to help people get their WordPress sites all fixed up. The speaker lineup looks good, and I hear they&#8217;re pumping up the wifi this year. I&#8217;ll be there, likely hunched over a notebook with Lisa Sabin-Wilson (author of <em>WordPress for Dummies</em> and <em>BuddyPress for Dummies</em>) to talk about the WordPress User Handbook project, and/or hunched over a sketchbook with Kevin Conboy (designed the new lighter &#8220;on&#8221; state for admin menus in WordPress 3.0) to work out a new default WordCamp.org theme (using BuddyPress). You can still get tickets!</p>
<p>July 17–18: <a href="http://uk.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp UK</a>- Manchester, England, UK. The roving WordCamp UK will be in Manchester this year, and is probably the closest to BarCamp style of all the WordCamps, using a wiki to plan some speakers/sessions and organizing the rest ad-hoc on the first day of the event. I&#8217;ll be attending this one as well, and am looking forward to seeing WordPress lead developer Peter Westwood again. I&#8217;m also looking forward to meeting some core contributors for the first time in person, like Simon Wheatley and John O&#8217;Nolan. Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, is on the organizing team of WordCamp UK. Tickets on sale now!</p>
<p>July 24: WordCamp Nigeria &#8211; Lagos, Nigeria. Their site seems to have a virus, so no link from here, but if you&#8217;re in Nigeria and interested in attending/getting involved, a quick Google search will get you to the organizers. </p>
<p>August 7: <a href="http://www.wordcamphouston.com/">WordCamp Houston</a> &#8211; Houston, TX, USA. Houston, Texas, birthplace of WordPress! Fittingly, Matt Mullenweg will be there to give the keynote. WordCamp Houston is running three tracks &#8212; Business, Blogger and Developer &#8212; in recognition of the fact that people who are interested in using WordPress for their business may not actually be bloggers or developers themselves. This used to get labeled as a &#8220;CMS&#8221; track at previous WordCamps (including NYC 2009), but with WordPress 3.0 supporting CMS functionality out of the box, &#8220;Business&#8221; is a much more appropriate label. Who wants to bet on if there will be BBQ for lunch?</p>
<p>August 7 : <a href="http://wordcampiowa.org/">WordCamp  Iowa</a> &#8211; Des Moines, Iowa, USA. Another placeholder page. Happening, not happening? I&#8217;ve emailed the organizer and will update this post once I know more.</p>
<p>August 7–8: <a href="http://wordcamp.org.nz/">WordCamp  New Zealand</a> &#8211; Auckland, New Zealand. They haven&#8217;t announced this year&#8217;s speakers or topics, but they&#8217;ve been running polls to get community input into the program. Of note: in 2011 WordCamp New Zealand will be shifting seasons and will be in February instead, when the weather is nicer.</p>
<p>August 20–22: <a href="http://2010.savannah.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Savannah</a> &#8211; Savannah, Georgia, USA. Disclaimer: I am completely biased about Savannah, since I&#8217;m one of the organizers. This will be the first WordCamp in Savannah, and it&#8217;s being held at the Savannah College of Art and Design River Club, an awesome venue that used to be a cotton warehouse or something like that. Since Savannah doesn&#8217;t really have a cohesive WordPress community yet (though a fair number of people from Savannah attended WordCamp Atlanta earlier this year), this WordCamp is aimed squarely at building a local community. We&#8217;ll have a local meet-and-greet, regular sessions with visiting speakers (lots of core contributors coming to this one, plus Matt), and on Sunday it will be combination unconference/genius bar/collaborative workspace. Oh, and a potluck! We&#8217;ll also be running a pre-WordCamp workshop for people who have never used WordPress but want to get started, so that they&#8217;ll be able to follow the presentations and conversations littered with WordPress-specific vocabulary over the weekend.

This book was authored by <a href="http://chriscoyier.net/">Chris Coyier</a> and <a href="http://perishablepress.com/">Jeff Star</a>, who are both successful WordPress developers, well known in the community. I spent some time looking over it, And wanted to share my impressions. If you&#8217;re in a hurry and just want the 5-second review: It&#8217;s good, and it&#8217;s got something for beginners and experts alike. If you want a more in-depth look, then please read on.</p>
<p><span id="more-2331"></span>The first thing you&#8217;ll notice about this book: it&#8217;s gorgeous. These guys are both designers, and their aesthetic carries though in this work. The typography is refreshing, they make good use of color, there are screenshots where appropriate, and accent graphics add flair, but are not overdone.</p>
<div id="attachment_2337" class="wp-caption alignleft"><a class="fancybox" href="http://media.dougal.us.s3.amazonaws.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DigWP_ss_1.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2337  fancybox" title="DigWP Screenshot 1" src="http://media.dougal.us.s3.amazonaws.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DigWP_ss_1-300x239.png" alt="" width="300" height="239" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sample page showing typography and layout</p></div>
<p>You might also notice that it&#8217;s over 400 pages long. There are 11 chapters, covering everything from installation to customizing themes, to security. If you&#8217;d like to get a taste, Chapter 3, Anatomy of a WordPress Theme, is available for download (the sample <acronym title="Portable Document Format"><span class="caps">PDF</span></acronym> also includes the full table of contents for the rest of the book). This chapter covers the usage of the standard template files which a theme can incorporate, the hierarchy for various page views, the Loop, sidebars, footers, and widgets, among other things. And that&#8217;s not the end of theme information &#8212; there&#8217;s more in Chapter 4, which discusses how to customize the loop, archive pages, tag clouds, and child themes.</p>
<p>Other chapters cover topics such as <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization"><span class="caps">SEO</span></acronym>, plugins, creating custom feeds, analytics, and how to create and use custom taxonomies. The information is thorough and well presented, with lots of screenshots and code examples sprinkled throughout. The ZIP file for the eBook also includes several example themes which can be used to jumpstart your own theming experiments.</p>
<div id="attachment_2343" class="wp-caption alignright"><a class="fancybox" href="http://media.dougal.us.s3.amazonaws.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DigWP_ss_2.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2343  " title="Code examples and plugin tips" src="http://media.dougal.us.s3.amazonaws.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/DigWP_ss_2-300x239.png" alt="" width="300" height="239" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The book is sprinkled with code examples and useful plugin tips</p></div>
<p>Throughout the book, there are plenty of links to useful plugins, themes, and other resources and websites. One minor niggle is that all of the links are given as shorturls through the digwp.com server. On the one hand, I would prefer to see the actual link, so that I know ahead of time whether it&#8217;s a site that I&#8217;ve visited before, or some new site that I might like to visit. But on the other hand, I understand that this was done for the purpose of making it easier to format the text without having to wrap long URLs. I would suggest that in the future, they might consider using the shorturls in the main text, with footnotes to provide the full versions.</p>
<p>Currently, the print edition is sold out. They are exploring options for printing more copies, so hopefully they will come up with a reasonable way to make more hardcopies soon. I am one of those people who generally prefers printed books to eBooks. But I have to say that the <acronym title="Portable Document Format"><span class="caps">PDF</span></acronym> version (which currently sells for $27) does not disappoint, and I really didn&#8217;t mind reading it on the screen too much. Plus, once you&#8217;ve purchased it, you get free updates in the future when they revise it. And with the recent release of WordPress 3.0, there will probably be an update soon (the book currently covers up through WordPress 2.9).</p>
<p>All-in-all, I highly recommend <a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=88539&amp;c=ib&amp;aff=123839">Digging Into WordPress</a> for anyone who wants to learn how to configure and customize WordPress. It will be most useful to intermediate users who might already be familiar with general use, but would like to learn more advanced ways to tailor their sites. But the book covers a lot of ground, and even experts might pick up a thing or two.</p>

If you’d like to move ahead in the line, write a blog post about why you want to use VaultPress and link it <a href="http://blog.vaultpress.com/2010/06/29/beginning/">here</a>, or tweet why  you need your site protected by VaultPress and use the hash tag #vaultpress.

<h3>We are Family</h3>
<p>This time around we had a lot of community participation, which rocks because we&#8217;re starting to find lots of little obscure bugs that would have been overlooked otherwise. Props go out to abackstrom, boonebgorges, cnorris23, dwenaus, erich73, francescolaffi, hempsworth, jeffsayre, paulgibbs, paulhastings0, nuprn1, r-a-y, rvenable, wpmuguru, and everyone else that contributed. (If I missed you, leave a comment below and I&#8217;ll add you.)</p>
<h3>Communication</h3>
<p>Near the end of this versions&#8217; development cycle, participation really ramped up mostly in part to better communication in the support forums from our core developers and moderation team. 1.2.5 would not have been possible without the passion and enthusiasm of our users, and we really appreciate your involvement in the project.</p>
<h3>Plugin Authors</h3>
<p>If you are a plugin author, you&#8217;re going to want to <a href="http://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/plugin-authors-important-buddypress-1-2-5-news-you-need-to-know/">read this post about the new actions</a> you should be using to load your code exactly where it belongs. BuddyPress 1.2.5 takes a big step forward towards being much more &#8216;dependent plugin&#8217; friendly, but possibly at the risk of breaking existing plugins depending on how they&#8217;ve been developed.</p>

<p>WordPress 3.0 integrated everything that MU always did so it&#8217;s better to consolidate the forums too. There&#8217;s a <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/14">MultiSite forum</a> on WordPress.org and any queries about upgrading or problems using WordPress 3.0 should go there.</p>
<p>The old forums aren&#8217;t going anywhere but later today or perhaps tomorrow I&#8217;ll be making them read-only. You&#8217;ll still be able to browse the forum, and Google will still index the wealth of information already there but posting will be disabled.</p>
<p>So, thank you to everyone who contributed to the forum over the years. You helped make WordPress MU great. </p>

<p>As has become the tradition around here, today I&#8217;m launching a new design to celebrate the new year. (See also <a href="http://ma.tt/2006/11/new-blog-design/">2006</a>, <a href="http://ma.tt/2008/04/new-spring-design/">2008</a>, <a href="http://ma.tt/2009/03/new-spring-design-2/">2009</a>.)</p>
<p>As you can tell, it is very inspired by the pop art of <a href="http://www.lichtensteinfoundation.org/">Roy Lichtenstein</a>, an idea that came to me while visiting the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. last year, and again <a href="http://matt.wordpress.com/2009/11/05/lichtenstein/">at SFMOMA in November</a>. The idea was beautifully executed by designer <a href="http://www.gnvpartners.com/web/">Nicolò Volpato</a> (who has now done 3 of the past 4 designs for Ma.tt) and coded up by <a href="http://ottopress.com/">Otto</a>.</p>
<p>The header is a lot smaller, the graphics should load much faster since they&#8217;re simpler, and there have also been a few tweaks throughout the site to make it feel a bit speedier. Instead of <a href="http://ma.tt/2003/04/image-fun/">image hacks</a> like I&#8217;ve used in my past few designs I&#8217;m now using <a href="http://typekit.com/">Typekit</a> for pretty much everything, which feels nice.</p>
<p>Please <a href="http://ma.tt/">take a look around</a>, stroll through some of the recent photo albums, and generally make yourself at home. Let me know what <a href="http://ma.tt/2010/06/new-summer-design/">you think in the comments</a>.

<p>If you are interested in speaking send us a presentation proposal via the <a href="http://2010.utah.wordcamp.org/contact/">contact form</a> on the 2010 site.  We&#8217;re also looking for sponsors and volunteers (especially if you can help record video of each session).</p>
<p>Mark Saturday, August 28th on your calendar, come spend the day with the Utah WordPress community.  Spread the word, use the #wcut hash tag for WordCamp Utah.</p>

I want to find someone with a relatively, broad range of experience and skills &#8211; if you&#8217;ve been building cool stuff for the last few years, you&#8217;ve probably got it. We are looking for the right technical, cultural and geographic fit for our team.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll get to work on a bunch of interesting and diverse projects. Some of our recent projects have included:</p>
<ul>
<li>Advanced WordPress websites, plugins, themes, integrations and products. We build a <em>lot</em> of stuff with WordPress.</li>
<li>A site migration tool for importing legacy websites into WordPress multi-site (complete with testing routines).</li>
<li>Facebook integration and platform development.</li>
<li>A web service for processing gobs of data running on Amazon&#8217;s cloud. The system is comprised of 10 different individual components, all talking to each other&#8217;s web services.</li>
<li>Customizable financial dashboards (web application).</li>
<li>An integration into numerous web services to power a custom web application that provides a different kind of productized web analytics.</li>
</ul>
<p>We have a casual, collaborative team environment. You can choose your OS and development tools (all of our systems are cross-platform or web based) and get to have a say in development approaches, policies, best practices, etc.</p>
<p>If these kinds of things sound interesting to you, <a href="http://crowdfavorite.com/jobs/">we&#8217;d like to hear from you</a>.</p>
<hr />
<p>We also have two internship positions (developer and designer/front-end developer) available &#8211; if you want to learn about building with WordPress, Open Source, web standards and modern best practices, we can give you some great experience building things people actually use.</p>

This plugin allows you to map any domain on to your WordPress 3.0 or WordPress MU website.</p>
<p>New in this release:
<ul>
<li> WordPress 3.0 support.</li>
<li> Added &#8220;domains&#8221; page for superadmin to add domains to any blog. The user&#8217;s domains page can be disabled by the superadmin too.</li>
<li> Added support for &#8220;www.&#8221; prefix in front of domains.</li>
<li> Allow dashboard to redirect to mapped or original domain.</li>
<li> Better support for SSL</li>
<li> Translation file added for localization.</li>
</ul>
<p>For security reasons remote login is now disabled if the dashboard is redirected to the mapped domain. There is a tiny chance of a man-in-the-middle attack during redirection, but it&#8217;s just as likely to happen when you&#8217;re logging in and sending your username/password to the login form. Call me paranoid.</p>
<p>I would like to thank <a href="http://wpmututorials.com/">Ron and Andrea</a> who were a huge help developing and testing this release. Andrea has written a great post on <a href="http://wpmututorials.com/basics/everything-you-wanted-to-know-about-creating-a-network-of-multiple-sites-in-3-0/">creating a network in WordPress 3.0</a> plus <a href="http://wpmututorials.com/how-to/upgrading-from-wpmu-to-wp-3-0/">instructions on upgrading from WordPress MU</a>. Great stuff!</p>

It looks up all the different possible images for each contact based on any email addresses you have stored against them.</p>

<p>It won&#8217;t keep images updated, but it does give you a quick and easy way to select an image for your contacts from one of the generated options, or their selected image if they have a Gravatar account. I enabled the option to &#8220;Replace pictures without double checking with me&#8221; and then I was able to just go through and double-click the image I wanted for each of my contacts.</p>
<p>We absolutely love seeing Gravatar make its way off the web and onto your desktop, into your cell phone and everywhere else. Do you know of any other cool uses of Gravatars? Let us know in the comments!</p>

<p>As you can see I redacted the number. After the dance floor comment and before the &#8220;last night&#8221; I Googled the number, thinking it was probably someone I know, as I have many friends who dance quite well, and have trouble with the shift key on their phones. The first hit led me to a Facebook group created by the very same young lady who received a wrong number at a club last night. My favorite part on this page is where it says &#8220;Privacy Type: Open: All content is public.&#8221;</p>

This update resolves many of the outstanding issues and quirks that you have mentioned on the <a href="http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/">forums</a>, Twitter, and elsewhere.</p>
<p>And while this release focuses mainly on bugs and performance enhancements, it also includes some updates to help iPhone users take advantage of two very nice additions from Apple: iOS 4 and iPhone 4. If you&#8217;ve updated to the just-released iOS 4, you&#8217;ll notice that 2.5 includes support for fast app switching, which is perfect for blogging on the go. Whenever you happen to unbox your shiny new iPhone 4 and install WordPress 2.5, you&#8217;ll be happy to see that it&#8217;s optimized for the new Retina Display.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an overview of what&#8217;s included in this version:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cut-and-paste now behaves as expected on the iPad. [<a href="http://iphone.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/438">#438</a>]</li>
<li>Better handling of drafts in progress when quitting the app.  [<a href="http://iphone.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/450">#450</a>]</li>
<li>Several performance enhancements, UI improvements, and bug fixes.</li>
<li>Support for fast app switching in iOS 4.</li>
<li>Optimized interface for the Retina Display in iPhone 4.</li>
</ul>
<p>You can download WordPress for iOS 2.5 right now in the App Store: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordpress/id335703880?mt=8">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wordpress/id335703880?mt=8</a></p>
<p>And when you&#8217;ve taken it for a spin, let us know what you think by leaving us some feedback on the App Store and/or the forum: <a href="http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/">http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/</a></p>
<p>We hope you find that this update makes using WordPress from your iOS device even more enjoyable and easy than it was before.  And rest assured, as soon as we submitted this release to Apple, we started working on some killer new features for 2.6.</p>

I&#8217;m sure many of you are just now getting around to upgrading your WordPress blogs to the newest version, making plans to upgrade your site, or even interested in using WordPress for the first time with all the upgrade buzz going around.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to direct you to some of the videos hosted here on WordPress.tv that contain information on WordPress 3.0 to help you out.</p>
<p>The first place to stop is—of course—the <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2010/06/17/introducing-wordpress-3-0/">announcement video</a> that went up last week, with a quick overview of the new features and changes in WordPress 3.0. Take a look (if you haven&#8217;t already) and learn what&#8217;s coming when you click that Upgrade button in your Dashboard.</p>
<p>Next, there are a pair of videos from a recent WordPressNYC meetup: <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2010/05/28/steve-bruner-wordpress-3-0-and-twenty-ten-customization-techniques/">one from Steve Bruner</a>, discussing some of the new customization techniques available in WordPress 3.0 and specifically the new Twenty Ten theme, and <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2010/05/31/boone-gorges-wordpress-3-multisite/">another from Boone Gorges</a> about the new Multisite functionality baked in to core WordPress starting with 3.0.</p>
<p>For another take on the changes occurring in WordPress 3.0, <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2010/04/24/jane-wells-keynote-oc10/">Jane Wells&#8217; keynote from Orange County WordCamp c</a>overs some of the changes made in 3.0 from another perspective—but also includes some notes on how you can get involved <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Contributing_to_WordPress">contributing</a> to the greater WordPress project, and the goals of the new <a href="http://wordpressfoundation.org/">WordPress Foundation</a>.</p>
<p>Lastly, if you&#8217;d like a peek into the future of WordPress, as mentioned in the announcement video, <a href="http://ma.tt">Matt Mullenweg</a>&#8216;s keynote from WordCamp San Francisco on the <a href="http://wordpress.tv/2010/05/12/sotw2010/">State of the Word</a> is a great look at where WordPress is now and where it&#8217;s headed.</p>
<p>Notice something missing? We&#8217;re in need of tutorial screencasts for WordPress 3.0 to help users new to WordPress or new to the features in 3.0 learn how to use them. If you&#8217;ve created a screencast to help users of WordPress 3.0, or are thinking about doing so, please <a href="http://wordpress.tv/contact/">contact us here at WordPress.tv</a>! We&#8217;d be very happy to look at your tutorial and consider it for publication here on WordPress.tv with the best of the best.</p>
<p>Enjoy WordPress 3.0!</p>
