Welcome to the weekly WordCamp Update post! This is where to find information on WordCamps about to be held, WordCamps in planning, and other community news.
This Week:
WordCamp Jabalpur: October 15-16
This student-organized event, an outgrowth of the local WordPress meetup group, will be held this weekend at Jabalpur Engineering College. Tickets to the Oct 15th Newbie Workshop sold out in just three days, but there are still tickets available for the main event. Attendees will be travelling from as far as Nepal. This is the first WordCamp to be held in India for a while, so we’re really excited about it.
