[...] WordCamps are conferences for bloggers and I am delighted that Portland will be hosting one on September 27, 2008. These conferences are designed for new bloggers, active bloggers and blogging pros. Designed to promote networking and the exchange of information, these conferences put an emphasis on fun. The day tends to have a variety of structured workshops to choose from while the evening has loosely structured “unconferences”. This provides an opportunity for bloggers decide and discuss topics at whim. [...]

[...] Weblog Tools Collection has posted a great rundown of what WordCamp is including some details on what Dallas WordCamp attendees can expect. As WordPress continues to grow in popularity, I expect to see many more WordCamps being created around the world, so if you haven’t attended one already, maybe it is time for you to create one? WordCamp is a spin off from the popular BarCamp which was a spin off of FooCamp. Each one of these events are smaller in nature when compared to your particular conference, but they are usually focused on a particular subject. So what can you expect when you attend a WordCamp event? Based on the numerous amounts of videos and photos taken from attendees, you can expect a whole lot of fun in an atmosphere that promotes social interaction. [...]

Thank Jeff for correcting your post!

On another note, regarding the information of WordCamp in Beijing, I disagree that no news or information was heard after the event. From what I know, since I am affiliated with the community primarily in charge of the event, a lot of photos and posts were published after the event. Chinese bloggers gave honest suggestions on how to improve WordCamp in the future. In addition, all the slides of the talks are hosted on the official site of WordCamp 2007 Beijing.

Perhaps, the reason you don’t hear about it is because many information published were in Chinese.

@Lorelle and AsceticMonk I apologize for the inaccurate data. I pulled that information from the Wikipedia article about Matt Mullenweg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Mullenweg and it was claimed that Argentina was the first international event. However, It looks like even that claim has been edited from the entry. Appropriate changes to the article have been made.

Great post! However, I feel compelled to point out that the first international WordCamp took place in Beijing, China in September. Here is my English post talking about the schedule of the event. Matt actually delivered a belated greeting to all Chinese WP users.
