   I was just about to riff on you guys for not mentioning where the WordPress Summit is taking place and when but, before I went off on y’all I checked out the referring source article. It doesn’t list time and place either!

   However, I did some more mucking around and found out it is in Georgia, USA, on or around October 29.

   You’d think the folks at WordPress Summit might want to share that information more prominently.

     As it is a private event, I think they’re trying to avoid any unexpected visitors.

   Hey James:

   I get that but they would be better served with a sticky post at the top of their blog site telling folks what, where, when and the private nature of the event. I’m always telling my clients that if I can’t figure out the essential messaging goals of your home page within about 10 seconds you’re failing a pretty crucial benchmark test… IMHO…

     It is listed rather clearly at the top of http://make.wordpress.org/summit/travel/

   Hopefully they can broadcast it simultaneously in the internet so someone like me who wants to be involve but can’t go can manage to view it.

   I hope they broadcast the summit as well, it’ll be worth watching for us WordPress fans!

   Sorry, don’t quite get it. If this is a ‘private event’ what is the point of advertising it?

     This is a private even for some of the top volunteers in the WordPress community to get together in person (for the first time in many of their lives) and make WordPress better.

     Sponsoring it is a way of saying “thanks” and “we want to see more.”
