WordCamp
Cooking with BuddyPress
I’m sitting downstairs at WordCamp 2009 in San Fransisco. Up on stage right now, Andy Peatling creator of BuddyPress.
BuddyPress Notes
Why BuddyPress:
- BYOTOS ( Bring Your Own Terms Of Service )
- Custom branding
- Existing plugins ( WordPress plugin integration + BP specific plugins )
- University Intranet
- Profile
- Activity Streams + LDAP login plugin
- Blog tracking + More Privacy plugin
- Comment wires + Privacy group plugin
- Content groups
- BuddyPress allows you to choose your components ( pic )
- Built in social widgets
- bbPress integration ( will become easier in the up coming versions ) —Andy 5/30/09
Extending BuddyPress
- BuddyPress is as extensible as WordPress
- All BuddyPress components are coded and structured the same way
- BuddyPress functions allow you to talk to the theme
- Building your component navigation ( pic )
I tried to keep up with it all, but was also writing and editing my site. For more, ask questions!

WordCamp Denver 2009 Boradcast
Well hello to everyone, hope you are going to have a great weekend! I am heading to Denver Colorado tonight for the first WordCamp. I have decided to help out some here a bit, and I will be using my web cam to broadcast live inside the Denver Art Museum. Plus I am video recording with my HDD camera, so that someone can put all the video together in the end and publish it to WordPress TV
Morning Update:
Looks like there is not a good location to broadcast live from the morning session. Will have to wait till the afternoon.
Afternoon Update:
Got in the technical meet late, didn’t get a very good seat against the wall in the corner. So the angle of broadcast would not work so good. Also uStream isn’t picking up my web cam 🙁
I beleive you can view the rest of WordCamp Denver (Blogger Trac) at http://bitwirelive.com
