wordcamp

According to the WordCamp Louisville blog WooThemes has provided a number of discounts to WordPress Louisville attendees, presumably to be delivered via email on or before the event on December 4th.

In any case, only those attending WordCamp Louisville will have access to this new deal from WooThemes, purveyor of fine theme products.

Our goal from the start of this thing was to a) provide a great experience for the WP Community, b) learn a lot and network together, c) Promote and BUILD the community. It a tough economy out there. As such we really have NOT asked for monetary sponsorships. We are asking that the vendors such as WooThemes, and hopefully others such as StudioPress and Mail Chimp and all of the rest (yeah…I am asking for your guys’ help by name ) do the following:

a) Dig deep and give our attendees SOLID discounts that will truly help them expand the WP user base. This ain’t namby pambyville…grin…We want attendees to pay $20 and get TONS of value for what they have paid.

b) Promote our efforts on your sites, forums and etc. Badge up. Mention Up. And help us promote the community. The long term winners are all of us.
