Displaying 1 To 6 Of 6 Comments My Apologies To The WordPress Foundation @Mike Little – Seems clear enough to me MIke! » Posted By Tony Scott On May 14, 2012 @ 10:06 AM @Mike Little – As WPUK http://wpuk.org/ Coordinator, can I confirm what Mike has said? At no stage have we left the (allegedly!) “draconian and NorthAmerican (sic) centric rules of the WPC this year”. » Posted By Tony Scott On May 13, 2012 @ 1:59 PM Hi @donnacha – Just to clarify events in Manchester last year – the question of the name of the event, which that year was WordCamp UK 2010, nor of future UK WP events, was not raised by the organisers, since we did not know at the time there was any issues relating to the name of such events. The name issue was raised by Jane during the last open session. Also the WordUp title originates from the event Simon Dickson organised in Whitehall and held in October 2010 http://puffbox.com/2010/10/13/word-up-whitehall-today/ » Posted By Tony Scott On September 19, 2011 @ 2:26 PM @donnacha The issue of naming was raised in July 2010 by Jane at WordCamp UK in Manchester. Can anyone give me a link and a date to when the policy on country WordCamp naming was changed? » Posted By Tony Scott On September 18, 2011 @ 12:22 PM The third paragraph should read “Due to a discussion at the end of the Manchester WordCamp UK in 2010 – see the last section of this post http://sltaylor.co.uk/blog/wordcamp-uk-2010/ for more details – we renamed the events in the UK.” » Posted By Tony Scott On September 18, 2011 @ 10:24 AM @scribu – good point – it all seems a little inconsistent. I’m writing as the coordinator of the series of WordCamps in the UK that started out as WordCamp UK, with the first one being held in Birmingham UK in 2008. Due to a discussion at the end of the Manchester WordCamp UK in 2010 – see the last section of this post http://sltaylor.co.uk/blog/wordcamp-uk-2010/ for more details. As correctly stated above we select (via a mailing list) a different venue for each event, but we named this year’s event WordCamp Portsmouth UK 2011, as a result of the debate at Manchester. We still intend to do this for 2012 as a continuation of this series of WordCamps in the UK – see http://wiki.wordcampuk.org/ for details. The points made above concerning London UK by @donnacha are also correct, in my view – and I live in London! » Posted By Tony Scott On September 18, 2011 @ 10:09 AMComments Posted By Tony Scott
