Friday, Feb 3, 2012 – So, traffic was too easy this morning on GA 400 into Atlanta.  I’m at the Savannah College of Art & Design which is hosting WordCamp Atlanta 2012.  And…I’m really early. Lol.

While I’m thinking of it, the presentations should all be available in the near future on WordPress TV.

Saturday, Feb 4, 2012 – WPEngine.com is reportedly offering free lifetime hosting for WordPress sites; the downside as far as I can tell is it is limited to site hosting, no e-mail.  <darn.  sigh>.  Great to hear directly from WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg, he answered a ton of questions and is a very likeable guy.

I came across an interesting list of open source project management tools in an issue of Full Circle Magazine (FCM) #48.  Not all of the links in the mag worked but I was able to find all of the items reviewed and they are listed here with hyperlinks to the correct web page.

Here is a direct link to issue 48, and the reviews begin on page 44.
