[UPDATE: Well, looks like this isn’t happening tonight after all. Bummer. If any WordPressers want to get together in the future, let me know. There must be a few of us out there.]
If this blog starts looking a little funky tonight, it may be because I’ll be joining geeks around the world in upgrading to the new version of WordPress. Version 2.3 was released on Monday, and from what I can see, it’s a must-install. The new plugin update notification system alone is worth any minor inconvenience it takes to do install the new release.
WordPress founder Matt Mullenweg will host an upgrade party at his apartment in San Fransisco, and blogging geeks in cities around the world are expected to follow suit. Here in Seattle, Beth Goza has bravely offered to throw a get-together. Sign up here to let her know you’re coming. She may cancel, though, if there’s not enough interest, so be sure check the Upcoming site before you go.
