WordCamp London happened last weekend at the London Metropolitan University, I couldn’t make this as we are due a baby (very!) soon so it was good to see a roundup of the event on WPTavern, looked like a great WordCamp.
I wrote a post this week about WordPress products which were forked from others, the post did well but I had a hard time researching it, check it out and please add to the comments if you have any other examples.
Brian wrote a good article on PostStatus about the new HappyTables – its a very impressive product built on top of WordPress, something we are going to be seeing more of soon.
Have a good weekend everyone, on with the news …
