Do you remember 2010? Faintly? Fondly? Well, here’s a happy blast from the past:

WordCamp Houston 2010 organizers announced, in the process of organizing the event, that they planned to use the surplus funds from the event for a scholarship. Cool, huh? Alas and alack, no one nominated any students back then, and the money has been sitting and waiting… until now.

In order to qualify for the WordCamp Houston 2010 scholarship you must:

1.) Reside in the Greater Houston Metropolitan area
2.) Be involved in the local, or larger WordPress Community in some capacity
3.) Be enrolled as a high school or college student

Applications will be open from Nov. 1 – Dec. 1, 2012.
During the review period, applications will be reviewed by a committee of local Houston WordPress community members and someone from WordCamp Central. The scholarship winner will be announced at central.wordcamp.org on December 15, 2012.

The award of $2,500 will be made by Jan 1, 2013.

Don’t look now, but WordCamp Denver is selling tickets! There wasn’t a WordCamp in Colorado last year, so you know there’s a lot of pent-up WordCamp fun to be had. Don’t miss it!

Did you know the first ever WordCamp Buffalo will be held this year, at Lyons Hall in Canisus College, on October 20? They’ll have a great lineup, a happiness bar, and all the awesome you could ever wish for in a WordCamp. Buy a ticket today!

Want a WordCamp Chicago t-shirt but can’t attend WordCamp Chicago? Want one for your grandma or kid sister? It’s your lucky day, because now (if you’re in the Chicago area) WordCamp Chicago tees are on sale separately – meaning, you don’t have to buy a whole extra WordCamp ticket to get a t-shirt! Is that deal better than a deep dish pizza? You decide.
