A Poll: User or Developer Track – or both?

Because we are planning for two different tracks of panels/presentations, we’d like to get a feel for which track you will most likely spend the most of your time at WordCamp Chicago:

• User Track: This track presents information useful for users of the WordPress platform, topics like monetization, using WordPress as a CMS, information on plugins, themes and additional things you can do to extend the basic ‘out of the box’ WordPress platform, news and resources about upcoming changes to the platform (upgrades, etc) and beginner to intermediate level information on making/tweaking your themes and creating simple plugins and widgets.
• Developer Track: This track is intended for advanced to guru level developers and covers an array of information about plugin development, hooks, API usage, server level security issues, core commits and theme development (hooks, functions and loops, etc), jQuery, AJAX and more

We realize that most people will bounce between both tracks, depending on the information being presented, but if you had to choose a track where you are most likely to spend the bulk of your time:

Lastly, a survey — we’d like to hear from you on the topics and information planned for WordCamp Chicago – we want to make sure that we are presenting information that YOU want to hear and learn – take this quick survey and let us hear your ideas:

That’s it for now – - we have a few announcements that will come later this week, including the venue, as we continue planning and plotting over here! Hope you all had a great weekend – - congratulations to our Colts and Saints fans, and our condolences to our Vikings and Jets fans!
