I run a web development firm (WebDevStudios.com) in New Jersey and we've worked on many hacked WordPress sites. I could show examples of hacked sites, share tips and plugins for keeping WordPress secure, and talk about my experiences with WordPress and security overall. I just gave a presentation on Advanced Thesis Techniques and Tricks at WordCamp Mid-Atlantic and had a blast! @Jeremy you dropped the idea in my head of riding the train from NYC to Montreal on WP Weekly a few weeks ago. I'm planning on coming to the event with my girlfriend and visiting the jazz festival while in town as well :) I’d love to give a presentation on WordPress Security.

Kim Vallee would join me for the talk. Kim has a large blog: At Home with Kim Vallee. She was on another platform (subText), had a lot of posts, images, etc. and was changing URLs. She also wanted a new design while adding sophisticated features on a new design. Tentatively, this talk will address: - Before - Why move to Wordpress? - After - Migration tools and techniques - Migration checklist - The perfect migration I also plan to open source the conversion tool I developed. It could be extended by the community to support additional platforms and to add further improvements.

Suggested title of my talk would be: "Using Wordpress As An Integral Part Of A Social Media Marketing Strategy".

We'll probably also have opportunities for very short presentations at some point but for now we're focussing on the big ones. They will be conference-style presentations with questions unless otherwise noted. Discussions are welcome and hopefully we can have BOF style meetings at some point. @Patrick – We haven’t come up with set times but IMHO 45 min is a pretty good length for such things.

We need some "subscribe to comments" action in here! @Jeremy - CMS building with Custom Fields definitely is not too simple for WCMTL. We want to have presentations that cover all levels of knowledge (except maybe "intro to posting and making links"). I think what you're describing would fall in the "Extending WP with Custom Plugins - tech + examples" category, which can definitely have multiple presentations. If it was relatively simple it could go in the "users/design" track instead of the "developers" track. Wow, that was fast! We need some “subscribe to comments” action in here!
