His experiences across the WordPress solution stack range from front-end designer, plugin developer, solution architect to devops resource. All layered on top of a strong foundation built through his Bachelor of Commerce degree at Carleton University – where the K stands for Quality.
Jamie will be speaking at 1:00pm on Saturday, July 13th in the Manotick room. His talk is entitled, Humans in hallways getting help.
The sessions/presentations might be what pique your interest to attend your first word camp, but the conversations had in hallways outside them is what will keep you coming back. Whether you’ve been to 0, 1 or N+1 word camps before, you’ll appreciate how the hallway track offers the highest fidelity opportunities to communicate and share knowledge with others. After all, everyone is both speaker and audience member there!
In the first 15 mins of this session, Jamie will share all the hints to help yourself (and others) get the most out of every hallway track. After that, a series of breakout sessions on pre-selected topics will have us collectively bringing the best parts of the hallway track into a single session.
Pre-selected topics you say? Before July 10th, go to http://wordcamp.gravityflow.io/ to fill out the Hallway Track Topics of Interest questionnaire. It will identify the biggest overlaps of all attendees:
- 3 topics you most want to learn about in attending the conference.
- 3 topics you feel most knowledge/experience to share back with others.
Personalized versions of your answers will also be printed and available in same size as your registration badge / lanyard, making for an easy way to open conversations in the actual hallways with other humans getting/giving help. Especially if you follow the Pac-Man Rule for conversations @ conferences
