I’m attending WordCamp San Francisco this weekend at Mission Bay Conference Center. WordCamp San Francisco is the original WordCamp and is generally considered the best gathering of the WordPress geeks. You should definitely check it out if you are in the area.
WordCamps are all about networking, so make it a plan to attend all the parties and hit me up if you see me. WordCamp San Francisco has an exciting lineup of speakers and it’s well worth the $50 in addition to a cool t-shirt and a swag bag.
It’s officially a one day conference but there is a developer unconference scheduled for Sunday, May 2nd at the Automattic Lounge (Pier 38) if development is your forte. There is also a code sprint scheduled for May 3rd and 4th and everyone is welcome to attend if you are interested in contributing to WordPress.
WordPress 2.9 Release Candidate 1 was just tagged and released. You can download it here. If you are interested in what has changed since beta 2, please consult the changelog.
WP Plugin Installer adds a link to install the development version of a plugin on the plugin install page. This is extremely useful when you want to test the development version of a plugin. Head on over to the WP Plugin Installer page for details.
WordPress MU 2.8.6 was just released and it is available for download immediately. This releases patches a XSS vulnerability in Press This and another issue with sanitizing upload file names which could be exploited to run a php file uploaded as file.php.jpg in some apache configurations. These are the same security fixes that were patched in WordPress 2.8.6. This release also addresses some MU specific bugs.
