Why not check out a WordCamp! WordCamps are locally-organized casual conferences of, by, and for WordPress users, developers, and enthusiasts just like you. The focus of a WordCamp is to foster face-to-face connections and collaboration among the local WordPress crowd, but there are usually some out-of-towners there as well. Here are the WordCamps that have been approved so far for the summer:</p>
<p>April 16: <a href="http://wordcampseattle.org/">WordCamp Seattle</a> in Seattle, WA. This weekend! After taking a year off, WordCamp Seattle is back with tracks for bloggers, designers, and developers. This year they&#8217;ll feature a lineup including presentations by both local speakers and visitors like core committer Andrew Nacin, as well as an Ignite session of lightning talks at the end of the day.</p>
<p>May 5: <a href="http://wordcampdevelopers.com/">WordCamp Vancouver (Developer Edition)</a> in Vancouver, BC. This one-day WordCamp is aimed purely at developers working on the WordPress platform, and will not have content aimed at bloggers (as previous Vancouver WordCamps have). I predict we will start seeing more of these types of niche WordCamps moving forward, because they will mean smaller, more intimate events that allow more collaboration (and make it easier to find venues!). Note that we&#8217;re working with the organizers to get the tickets to a more reasonable price, so keep your eyes open this week if you&#8217;ve held off on buying a ticket because of the price tag.</p>
<p>May 7: <a href="http://wordcamp-switzerland.ch/">WordCamp Switzerland</a> in Brugg, Switzerland. This one will cover a wide range of topics, including getting started with WordPress, advanced development topics, BuddyPress, and an inside look at running a WordPress-based business.</p>
<p>May 14: <a href="http://www.ocwordcamp.com/">WordCamp Orange County</a> in Orange, CA. Already sold out! Orange County had their first WordCamp last year, and the organizers have put together another great event this time around.</p>
<p>May 14: <a href="http://paris14mai2011.wordcamp.fr/">WordCamp Paris</a> in Paris, France. One of the last true unconference-style WordCamps, the Paris group will plan their schedule the morning of the event like they do at BarCamps. WordCamp Paris had one of the best WordCamp t-shirts ever a couple of years ago. And it&#8217;s in Paris in the spring.</p>
<p>May 21–22: <a href="http://wordcampraleigh.com/">WordCamp Raleigh</a> in Raleigh, NC. Repeat organizers from the Raleigh WordPress Meetup Group are just starting to select speakers and put together their plans, but if it is anything like last year, the venue will be packed with WordPress professionals (and maybe there will be cookies). I&#8217;ll be attending this one, as will Nacin.</p>
<p>June 4–5: <a href="http://2011.reno.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp Reno-Lake Tahoe</a> in Reno, NV. Organized by a WordPress core UI group contributor, WordCamp Reno-Lake Tahoe is taking place in Reno and has a packed schedule full of visiting experts.</p>
<p>June 11–12: <a href="http://www.wckansascity.org/">WordCamp Kansas City</a> in Overland Park, KS. With publisher, designer, and developer tracks, Kansas City&#8217;s WordCamp will have a little something for everyone, presented in large part by local speakers.</p>
<p>June 17–19: <a href="http://wordcampcolumbus.com/">WordCamp Columbus</a> in Columbus, OH. WordCamp Columbus has a new organizer this year and is bringing the focus more firmly onto WordPress (and less on social media). Their 3-day event includes an entire day for newbies, and another for non-profits, a nice addition to the usual blogger/developer tracks.</p>
<p>July 9–10: <a href="http://wcmtl.org/">WordCamp Montreal</a> in Montreal, Quebec. This group consistently puts on a great every year. If you register now, you can still get a $10 discount and get both days for only $30 (with sessions in both English and French to reflect the bilingual nature of the city). Montreal plays host to a number of <a href="http://www.montreal.com/tourism/festivals/index.html">festivals</a> throughout the year, and this weekend is no different, including festivals for the arts, comedy, tango, and even circus arts.</p>
<p>July 16: <a href="http://2011.sandiego.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp San Diego</a> in San Diego, CA. First WordCamp in San Diego! They have talking about this for over a year, and are now starting to really ramp up the planning. They&#8217;re finalizing their venue right now, and I would expect a great roster of speakers.</p>
<p>July 16-17: <a href="http://wiki.wordcampuk.org/Main_Page">WordCamp Portsmouth</a> in Portsmouth, UK. The annual WordCamp UK that moves from city to city each year alights this year in Portsmouth. This one is notable because Mike Little, co-founder of WordPress, is part of the organizing team.</p>
<p>July 23–24: <a href="http://wordcampboston.com/">WordCamp Boston</a> in Boston, MA. Another one just about to lock down some details and get starting with speaker selection, etc. An easy train ride from so many places, and not in the middle of winter this year!</p>
<p>July 30-31: <a href="http://2011.chicago.wordcamp.org">WordCamp Chicago</a> has new organizers and is a new venue this year. A call for speakers, supporters, and volunteers will likely be posted sometime next week.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wordcampportland.org/">WordCamp Portland</a> is looking for a venue before deciding on a date this year, as it has outgrown the space it&#8217;s used the past two years, but hopes to happen in September. If you would be interested in donating a venue to this popular event, please <a href="http://www.wordcampportland.org/">contact them</a>.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll hold off on posting fall events until later in the summer since there a lot in the planning stages now. To get the most up-to-date information, visit <a href="http://central.wordcamp.org/schedule/">WordCamp Central</a>.</p>
<p>Hope to see you at a WordCamp soon!</p>

<p>On Friday the 11th, Matt was interviewed by John Battelle of Federated Media in front of a packed ballroom, talking about the future of WordPress. That night, the annual SxSW WordPress BBQ party played host to hundreds of WordPress users, developers, and businesspeople, and attendees got an extra treat this year in the form of a t-shirt made especially to commemorate WordPress and its Texas roots.</p>
<p>On Saturday the 12th, a second party co-hosted by the Austin WordPress Meetup Group and GeekAustin (and co-sponsored by the WordPress Foundation and WPEngine) brought together a similar crowd but with the addition of local WordPress community members who were not registered for the SxSW conference.</p>
<p>Starting today, the South by Southwest trade show opens, and this year for the first time it will feature an official WordPress Genius Bar. Staffed by professional WordPress support staff, developers, advanced users, theme designers, and even some of the core contributors and project leaders, the booth will be open from 11am-6pm each day to answer questions and help people with any WordPress problems they might have. If you are at South by Southwest this year, consider stopping by to say hello and pick up a WordPress button or sticker. We&#8217;ll also have a limited supply of the special WordPress/Texas shirts that we&#8217;ll be giving away at the booth, so if you&#8217;re at SxSW between now and Thursday, stop by.  Hope to see you there!</p>
<p><em>Location: The WordPress booth will be in trade show stand numbers 829, 831, 928, and 930 (it&#8217;s an endcap booth that combines those four spaces). You can find us in those spaces by following the numbered banners hanging from the ceiling.</em></p>

<p>This release features a lightning fast <strong>redesigned linking workflow</strong> which makes it easy to link to your existing posts and pages, an <strong>admin bar</strong> so you&#8217;re never more than a click away from your most-used dashboard pages, a <strong>streamlined writing interface</strong> that hides many of the seldom-used panels by default to create a simpler and less intimidating writing experience for new bloggers (visit Screen Options in the top right to get old panels back), and a <strong>refreshed blue admin scheme</strong> available for selection under your personal options.</p>

This year the program will be expanded to three days, with programming for publishers, bloggers, and developers. There will also be related activities, like core team summits, workshops  for contributors, designers, and local organizers, and various professional and networking events. The planning is just beginning, so save the date on your calendar and keep an eye on the <a title="WordCamp SF 2011" href="http://2011.sf.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp SF 2011</a> site (and/or follow the <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/WordCampSF">@wordcampsf</a> twitter account) for updates as details become available.</p>

This year the program will be expanded to three days, with programming for publishers, bloggers, and developers. There will also be related activities, like core team summits, workshops  for contributors, designers, and local organizers, and various professional and networking events.

After careful evaluation of the 3.1 features in RC2, we recognized the need to make some adjustments. There are some significant differences from previous versions of 3.1, so <strong>please</strong> review the changes if you have been developing against a beta or RC version.</p>
<p>The biggest change is the removal of AJAX list tables, which had been an effort to move all of our list-style screens to full AJAX for pagination, searches, and column sorts, and to consolidate the list-style screens into a single API that plugins could leverage. Unfortunately, with more testing came realizations that there were too many major bugs and usability issues with how the functionality was implemented, so we&#8217;ve spent the last week rolling back the most important portions of the feature.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>For users:</strong> AJAX has been entirely disabled for the list tables. We hope to bring this back again, in a form that is properly and fully implemented, in a future release. Column sorting remains, but everything else has returned to its 3.0 state.</li>
<li><strong>For developers:</strong> The entire list table API is now marked <em>private</em>. If you attempt to leverage new components of the API, you are pretty much guaranteeing that your plugins will break in a future release, so please don&#8217;t do that. <img src='http://wordpress.org/news/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  We hope to enable all the fun new goodies for public use in a future release.</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the only way we could prevent any regressions in functionality and usability from WordPress 3.0 to 3.1. That&#8217;s right, users and plugin authors can still do everything you used to be able to do (and a little bit more).</p>
<p>Because of the code churn between RC2 and RC3, <strong>this release candidate needs a lot of testing</strong>. Every list screen needs testing. In particular, the comment moderation screen needs testing, especially with keyboard shortcuts (if you didn&#8217;t know about those, now&#8217;s your chance to try them out).</p>
<p>Other fixes in RC3 include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Properly display the author dropdown in Quick Edit</li>
<li>Various important fixes to numerous taxonomy query variables</li>
<li>Fixes to the theme deletion process</li>
<li>Fixes to pages used for posts</li>
<li>IIS and Multisite: Avoid resetting web.config on permalink save</li>
<li>Properly validate post formats and their rewrite rules</li>

<p>I&#8217;m assembling a group of friends in Washington, D.C., this weekend to test WordPress 3.1 and provide feedback. We&#8217;d love to see this idea catch on among friends at coffee shops around the world. (We&#8217;ll blog our results, and we&#8217;re thinking about using the hashtag #wptest on Twitter.) If you are testing the release candidate and think you&#8217;ve found a bug, there are a few ways to let us know:</p>
<ul>
<li>Post it to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/">Alpha/Beta area in the support forums</a></li>
<li>Report it to the <a href="http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-testers">wp-testers mailing list</a></li>
<li>Join the development IRC channel and tell us live at irc.freenode.net #wordpress-dev</li>
<li>File a bug ticket on the <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/">WordPress Trac</a></li>
