Ottawa WordPress Meetup, September 21, 2011
This will be the first Meet-up for our group.
Join our meet-up group at: http://www.meetup.com/The-Ottawa-WordPress-Group/
The thinking for the group and our meet-ups is to have one meet-up per month.
During the meet-up we will discuss two topics: a blogging or non-code topic and a developer topic. Presentations will be approx 45 max in length and we will have a 10 min break in between. Networking is encouraged throughout.
For this first meet-up the agenda will consist of the following:
- Introduction & Welcome
- Talk about events: Blog-a-thon (fall 2011 event) and Hack-a-thon (spring 2012 event)
- Talk about an Ottawa WordCamp – End Summer 2012
- Presentation by Dave Adams (see Dave’s bio at this link )
Topic: “Maintaining a Healthy WordPress Site”
Description: “It is one thing to install and build a WordPress site, but it is another thing to keep it running. This presentation discusses tips on the care and nurturing of a single entity WP site”
- Networking, networking and more networking
Meeting will be at iCourses-Ottawa. Free Parking & Free Wi-Fi. Coffee and doughnuts will be available.

The Ottawa WordPress Group
Do you want to learn about WordPress? Do you have a WordPress blog or site, or use WordPress at work? Would you like to talk to others about WordPress? Do you need to know more about how to run your site?
Attend our next meeting, and meet other WordPress users, learn more about WordPress, learn best practices, share ideas, projects and other information.
We have 2 meeting streams. The main stream, meeting the first Wednesday of most months, includes beginner WordPress topics and general topics like SEO. The “Not Beginner” track, on the third Wednesday of select months, is comprised of talks that don’t fit in the main stream. This track will cover things in more depth, and some knowledge of WordPress will be expected.
