I had a great time at BarCampTexas yesterday. I met some cool people and I’m thinking about organizing a San Antonio BarCamp. Maybe that can be something combined with a NODE101 event. I did a short presentation about raising money for small projects where I showed Have Money Will Vlog and talked up the PledgeDrive plugin that Devlon is finishing up. The hightlight for me was Matt Mullenweg’s presentation about using Wordpress as development platform. For example, if you needed a unified user and login system to use across a number of web apps, you could use that feature in Wordpress without actually having a blog. Cool stuff. Also, while he was talking about Wordpress.com I went back over there and saw that they’ve really added a lot of great features since I first checked it out. As soon as they work out some stuff with Blip.tv you’ll be able to easily set up a free videoblog using just Blip and Wordpress. Look for screencasts in upcoming revision of Freevlog that Ryanne and I are working on right now.

I agree with Matt. I’ve found the Wordpress environment really useful to leverage for an application.
Thanks for the mention!
Like the new layout it’s really nice and user friendly….I need to update my link love…..sorry ramdon thought that got written out…
A BarCamp in SA would be awesome and I would definitley be up for going. I was hoping to go to the one in Austin but I already had plans. i hate that I missed Matt though.
