WordCamp Planning: 2015 kickoff meeting

We are excited to announce that we are having our 2015 WordCamp kickoff meeting Monday Jan 12th 2015 from 7pm 8pm. We encourage everyone to come out and be a part of the team. There will be around 16 items to cover and about 5 or 6 available team lead spaces to handle these items. We will be using a buddy system so that no one person is handling their items alone.

Full meeting agenda:
