I am very excited to be speaking at WordCamp Montreal this year. It has been a crazy few months, after organizing and speaking a WordCamp Toronto. I also had the opportunity to speak at Make Web, Not War, and now WordCamp Montreal.

This will be a very special presentation on FlashPress – Bridging Two Worlds. I have been working really hard on this project with a local firm in Toronto, OneMethod, and developers Ryan Andal (zeropattern), and Darryl Cheung (deezilla). This is a project that started over a year ago at PHUG with a bunch of students from Seneca College.

We did an alpha launch and presentation at WordCamp Toronto this year, and we are now ready for the beta  at WordCamp Montreal, you don’t want to miss this one!

Description: FlashPress is an extension to WordPress, which allows the ability to use an essentially PHP based CMS to communicate with a Flash site. The FlashPress project aims to develop a new WordPress bundle that will allow anybody to download, install, choose a template, and be up running with a fully CMS backed Flash site or blog in minutes. As part of this project we will be publicly documenting the process, code, and challenges along the way.

This will mark the first WordCamp in Montreal and so far they are off to a great start! They have landed an excellent location in downtown Montreal, SAT ( La Société des arts technologiques ), some really great sponsors, and an excellent list of speakers. I have also heard through the grapevine there will be an opening night party at the St. Sulpice.

So make sure you register for tickets now before it’s to late!
