Finally made it out to WordCamp in San Francisco.

Some interestingness that I encountered today:

• Chris Lea from Media Temple pitched NGINX. Apparently, it blows away Apache in performance.  Whereas Apache uses forking, NGINX is asynchronous.
• Joseph Scott pitched the Open Source WordPress iPhone App.
• Sam Bauers on maintaining WordPress using SVN. You can now move the content directory outside of the WordPress directory. Symlink to plugins that you want SVN to maintain, like Akismet.
• Noel Jackson used the Rule of Thirds, PHP, and JavaScript to get colors from photos in a blog to create a monochromatic theme, Monotone.

Also got a free t-shirt, lunch, and tons of coffee!

Lunch!

Sea of computers. Are there more computers than people in this picture? Taken at the beginning of Matt Mullenweg's talk
