Minneapolis-St Paul Wordpress User Group

For February’s MSP WordPress gathering, we will be doing something a bit different.

With your help, Gillian and I will be procuring a list of “to-do” items for MSPWordPress.com.  At the gathering on 2/24/2011, we will split up into groups, with each group being in charge of producing a “fix” for a specific item on the MSP WordPress.com website.

Some things that come to mind include:

• Design a theme
• Develop a theme
• Make the group’s plugin directory awesome
• Make the group’s theme directory awesome
• Build functionality that gives job recruiters a place to post their openings
• Build functionality that gives job seekers a place to post their credentials
• Build a member directory
• ???

Any other ideas?  If so, leave them in the comments of this post or let us know via the Google Group.

We are pumped about WordCamp MSP on Saturday!  Are you?

MSP WordPress has many members leading sessions at the first-ever Twin Cities event, including Griff Wigley, John Havlik, Josh Leuze, Kay Roseland, Mitchell Hislop, Mykl Roventine, Robert Dempsey, Steve Borsch, Tim Elliot, and myself (Toby Cryns).

Thanks to everyone for contributing to what will surely be a great event!

In September, I locked myself in a room with two other local developers and pounded on my poor 13″ Macbook for 72 hours until we came up the prototype for Heavy Analytics, a WordPress analytics plugin.

We were participating in the first ever Twin Cities Startup Weekend and had a ball in the process!  The next iteration of the competition is taking place on Nov. 19-21.  Sign up today!
