I am sitting here this morning in the beautiful Wyland Waikiki the day after Podcamp Hawaii reflecting on the past two days.. Roxanne Darling event organizer let me know last night that we had 339 people attend the event.
When we started talking about Podcamp Hawaii, I said if we were able to get 300 people to the event it would be a huge success. The sponsors that stepped up to support the event have my heart filled gratitude we would not be have been able to pull this event off.
I will some amazing video that I will be sharing with all of you soon. Because of Podcamp Hawaii I have officially decided to make the switch to Wordpress I have contemplated this in the past but based on what Matt shared with us about the upcoming version Wordpress 2.7 it has pushed me over the edge.
Over the next several weeks we are going to see a whole new breed of podcasters and bloggers starting to create content here in Hawaii. I welcome them to the party.
The three sessions I held were well attended and I hope that I was able to leave those that attended with some thoughts on what to do next.
I will be working on the Videos today and hope to share them with you soon.

Thrilled to hear the news about your upcoming switch to WordPress.
I know you've done a lot of customization with MT but I've no doubt you'll be able to do all that and more with WordPress because it is so open and so easy to develop custom plugins, widgets, and themes!
I'd be delighted to answer any questions you have about WP and the things you need it to do for you.

Hi Todd,
Thanks for being such a great sponsor, supporter, speaker, and all around engaged attendee at Podcamp! I would like to update that we had over 400 people - once I combed through the log in sheets I realized a lot of people who I saw there in person (and by luck know) had not actually checked in. Such is the process of a free event and being understaffed.
Aloha and Mahalo,
Roxanne
