I’m up for both of those – very new to Wordpress and am getting by but would really benefit from some basic grounding

I’d be interested too. I’ve published more than 40 blogs on WordPress and yet never really taken the time to get to grips with most of its basics. That’s probably pretty evident from the blogs!

Yes – both; the more advanced session for my own stuff & basics to help talk to new community bloggers & better enthuse & support them

Yes, the advance techniques stuff would be great.

Also of particular interest would a conversion course for BuddyPress. I haven’t yet looked at what it does and how it does it on top of WP.

In that case, let’s try to do a WordPress Fundamentals session in a small meeting room, or perhaps somewhere more informal, some time in the morning (on the Friday). We can talk about the key principles, how the project got started, and how it’s organised these days. I’ll probably also talk about themes and plugins: what they are, how they work, and how to commission them. Bring lots of questions!

And then, once you’re all experts, we’ll look to do the ’advanced’ slot some time after it. (Won’t we @lesteph ?)

Good point Simon – there were delays. But you’ll find out on Monday (15/11)!
