Our lineup of featured speakers will be rounded out by WordPress UX guru and former Portlander Jane Wells. Jane is a veteran of all three previous WordCamp Portland events. She has worked for Automattic for a few years and is the UX lead for WordPress core.

We’re still ironing out the exact topic for Jane’s talk and will update this post once we have it finalized, but I can pretty much guarantee it will be interesting.

Featured Speaker: Scott Berkun

I’m excited to announce the second of our three featured speakers for WordCamp Portland 2011. Scott Berkun will present “Lessons Learned from Blogging Every Day.” In addition to working for Automattic on the WordPress.com team, Scott is a writer and speaker whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, The Guardian, Wired magazine, National Public Radio, The Huffington Post and other media.

I’ve seen Scott speak previously, he’s an engaging and informative speaker and I’m really looking forward to hearing him share with our Portland audience.

Learn more about Scott on his website, or follow him on Twitter.

Featured Speaker: Andrew Nacin

We’re planning to begin selling tickets on Friday but in the meantime I’m excited to announce the first of our three featured speakers for WordCamp Portland 2011.

Andrew Nacin is a core developer for WordPress and is an active participant in the WordPress community. He is involved with development tasks including bug fixes, feature development, and wrangling contributions from other developers. He also participates in various mailing lists and forums and has been known to attend many WordCamp events.

We don’t have the exact topic for his talk, but I believe we can divulge that it’s being billed as “hint = something awesome”. Having seen Nacin speak a few times I have no doubt he’ll live up to that expectation.

Learn more about Andrew Nacin and come see him speak at WordCamp Portland.
