We no sooner landed our first premier sponsor than Rackspace Cloud U stepped up to become the second! This is especially exciting as Rackspace is based right here in San Antonio, and its CloudU program is of great benefit to the local community.

Rackspace Cloud University, known as CloudU™, is a vendor-neutral, cloud education program designed by Rackspace and the brightest minds in academia and the cloud industry. The program is intended for students, IT professionals, and business decision makers who want to learn about cloud, web hosting, big data, and soon WordPress on Cloud Sites. Best of all its free!

Every sponsor is important in helping us plan WordCamp San Antonio and make it a success for all involved, the Premier sponsorship level even more so, as it provides the highest level of financial support. This enables us to further secure important needs for event day—the venue, the food, and the many details that go into putting together an event like this.

Premier sponsors also get a lot out of it, so it’s an all-around win!

If you attend WordCamp San Antonio, you’ll be able to find the CloudU team inside the hub (along with our first Premier sponsor), an area of TriPoint where you’ll be able to sit, relax, and network, charge your phone, laptop, and other devices, and find out more about the free educational program CloudU offers.

We’re grateful to Rackspace CloudU for pitching in to help ensure the first-ever WordCamp San Antonio is a homerun.

We are excited and honored to announce that WordPress hosting platform provider, WP Engine, has come on board as our first Premier sponsor!

Of the many sponsorship levels available, Premier is the highest. It not only offers the sponsor several benefits, but provides WordCamp San Antonio with much-needed financial support so we can continue planning the event. The Premier sponsorship puts us much closer to being able to put on a great event for the expected 200 attendees.

While WordPress is an open-source platform that offers a free option, it’s also a powerful platform that many large companies use for their websites. WP Engine provides managed hosting options to such companies, including Buffer, Constant Contact, and Foursquare, to name just a few.

If you attend WordCamp San Antonio, you’ll be able to find the WP Engine team inside the hub, an area of TriPoint where you’ll be able to sit, relax, and network, charge your phone, laptop, and other devices, and find out more about the services WP Engine has to offer.

WP Engine is also a regular supporter of the San Antonio WordPress Meetup Group, which is the main group responsible for bringing WordCamp to the city, and for organizing the event.

Big thanks to WP Engine not only for supporting WordCamp San Antonio, but the local WordPress community as a whole. We appreciate it!

One of the most amazing aspects of WordPress is the community at its core! If you’d like to be a part of giving back to that community – Contributor Day is a perfect moment to learn how to be a part of that awesomeness.

Whether you’re a designer, developer, systems or support specialist, or writer, there’s a way for you to contribute:

• If you’re a programmer, contribute code directly to core!*
• Write or update WordPress documentation and tutorials
• Create visual mockups of new features, or those being modified
• Help out with your knowledge of accessibility or other relevant standards
• Mobile developer? Help out with the apps!
• Answer questions on the forums and help other users or people who are new to WordPress
• Work on the WordPress.org website itself, including the plugin and theme repositories

People who come to Contributor Day will be 100% focused on contributing to or learning to contribute to the WordPress project — although we have fun, this is a working event. If you’ve been looking for an opening to add your contribution to WordPress, this is the perfect opportunity!
We’ll make sure the WiFi stays strong (and the snacks plentiful), you make sure WordPress stays strong.

Attendance is free but we do have limited space (max 40 attendees). Please let us know ahead of time if you’ll be coming — we can’t guarantee that there will be spots left on the weekend of the event.
