It’s been quiet on the WordCamp Toronto front for the last couple of months. We haven’t said much since the site went live in mid-February<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That’s about to change. Starting today our\u00a0organizing team will be holding\u00a0bi-weekly meetings to\u00a0work through tasks and get things done.<\/p>\n

(A big thanks to our co-organizer Tom Auger<\/a> and his team at Zeitguys<\/a>\u00a0for hosting these meetings!)<\/p>\n

Our major takeaways will be documented on this site. You can keep tabs on the updates by subscribing via email —\u00a0use the form in the sidebar — or via RSS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we talked about during today’s meeting:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Roadmap & Milestones: Aiming for October<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our focus during\u00a0this week’s meeting was\u00a0to figure\u00a0out timelines.<\/p>\n

We don’t want to be\u00a0scrambling at the last minute to get things done,\u00a0so this year we’d like to have everything taken care of in advance,\u00a0hopefully by mid-October.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to think that October is far off in the distance, but it isn’t. As we’ve learned from previous years, that time disappears very quickly.<\/p>\n

Hence\u00a0the bi-weekly meetings. By getting together in person through the summer, we can gradually work through tasks under less pressure than waiting until the fall.<\/p>\n

Hashtag Change: #WCTO14 to #WCTO<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We’ve dropped the 14 from the hashtag.\u00a0Use those two extra characters wisely. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Call for Speakers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is our highest priority right now. Speakers, and the topics they present, set the tone for the Camp\u00a0and how the\u00a0schedule is built.<\/p>\n

You can expect more\u00a0details, and the application, to be posted within the next two weeks.<\/p>\n

Sponsor Levels & Call for Sponsors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On the heels of our Call for Speakers<\/em> will be our Call for Sponsors<\/em>. We already have our price points worked out but we haven’t settled on\u00a0specific\u00a0deliverables yet.<\/p>\n

Expect the Call for Sponsors<\/em> to be posted within the next three weeks.<\/p>\n
