Rhode Island Nexus

Providence WordPress is gathering for lightning talks & our holiday bash
on Nov. 30 at McFadden's.

We welcome bloggers, developers, designers, and everyone in between,
even if you're just curious about WordPress.

We're also looking to diversify our lightning talk lineup: Present for 5
minutes on any WordPress topic.  It could be big, small, you name it,
bring it on!  It just has to be a 5-minute talk having something to do
with WordPress. Post your topic to to this discussion or to the link
below.

Details about this meetup, including free apps & drinks, are at:

Thanks to Microsoft, the sponsor of our holiday meetup and creator of IE
9 beta.

See you there!
