Webstock
Alright alright alright – party at the moon tower! Well, the Wellington Town Hall anyway. Yep, Webstock has been announced and will happen in Wellington next May 23rd to 26th. This is going to be a great conference – more than a conference, a party too. We’ve got some great speakers coming, including Joel “on Software” Spolsky, Ben “lead developer of Firefox” Goodger, Doug “the designer” Bowman, Kelly Goto, Kathy Sierra, Dori Smith, Steve Champeon, Joe Clarke, and other really really cool people. More details at the site, and plenty more announcements coming up between now and then.
