[Hidden-tech] Word Press Campus hosts?

[Joseph Bacal]

Hi all - I went to WPCampus two years ago (couldn't make last year) and it
is an excellent conference.   We run a large number of WP instances here at
Smith College and our usage is growing constantly. We use it for course
projects, student portfolios, and local database/record keeping
applications.  I'll come right out and say that I am pretty much at
capacity for this year as far as "extracurricular" time available, but I'd
love to be supportive of this effort in whatever ways I can.
