#wp15 Party

Things change rapidly in the WordPress world. The content in this post is more than a year old and may no longer represent best practices.

The East Bay WP Meetup had a party in honor of #wp15, the 15th Anniversary of the launch of WordPress. In addition to the cake, balloons, and stickers, we grouped together to improve our meetup space by adding felt pads to the feet of the heavy metal chairs in the cafeteria.
