A Ride into WordCamp Bhopal 2016

The Day started when the attendees reached the registration desk, where they were handed their kits meanwhile the online attendance was being taken, everyone was on their best foot and things at registration went really well with the breakfast being a cherry on top of icing.

The Event took a head start with Puneet Sahalot’s (Founder IdeaBox Creations) Session which was on ‘Introduction to WordPress’, he gave a brief history of how WordPress evolved from a blogging platform to a CMS.

The next session was followed by Aditya Kane (Chief Cultural Officer at Yapapaya) on ‘Why choose a career in open source (WordPress)’ where he talked about ‘What is open-source. OSS impact on the world Free and open web. Why do we need to protect it? Why WordPress GPL, Software as philosophy and career prospects.

The tea break was followed by Swapnil Patil (Organizer WordCamp Pune) giving a brief on ‘How to Translate a WordPress Theme/Plugin’, Nirav Mehta’s (Developer of Plugins) session on ‘Why We Indian Developers Fail; And what you can do about it’ intrigued the attendees, Nirav’s storytelling interaction worked tremendously good .

It has been rightly said, “Hunger makes a thief of any man”. So the Lunch started soon after Nirav’s session, concurrently few had interaction with the sponsors on their separate desk. Our gold sponsors for the event were like JetPack, WooCommerce and rtCamp. Whereas Godaddy Pro, Bluehost, Milesweb  were the silver sponsors for the Event. Wpml.com with many others were bronze sponsors.

Soon after everyone was back under the same roof few more sessions were orated, where Amit Singh (Founder and CEO Wpoets) talked about: “Stop coding, Start assembling websites”. This was followed by Alexander Grounder’s (Ink my web) session on ‘The ways of Contributing to WordPress.’

The last session was by Rahul Bansal (CEO of rtCamp) on ‘How to build high-quality WordPress agency in Bhopal’.

Nirav will let you know Why We Indian Developers Fail… And what you can do about it..

We are Indian Developers. What China is to manufacturing, India is to software development. Cheap, Bulk, Inferior Quality. And let’s face the truth, for the most part, that argument is not wrong. Consider your colleagues and co-workers. Do you think they have great talent? Are they very good developers?

The sad thing is that we did not design ourselves for mediocrity and failures. It’s the way our brains are wired. In most cases, we don’t even know we are lousy. Let’s take this opportunity to look within and uncover the deepest sources of our biggest limitations. Let’s dig to the roots of our reality. Because awareness precedes change!

About Nirav

Nirav is referred to as an entrepreneur geek. One who likes technology as much as businesses. nirav-in-panel-with-mic

Nirav has built a rather impressive resume over the last 17 years. He launched India’s first electronic magazine at the age of 18, started a thriving web agency at 19, and was asked to exit the company he started at 30. From that low, he made a heroic return, turned around the company and went on to create string of seven businesses. He is not a serial entrepreneur, he is a parallel entrepreneur! He’s authored two books, spoken at various events and conferences, contributed to open source and community, written some fancy code and got gray hair at early age.

Nirav and his team have created some of the most popular WooCommerce plugins. And they also have a lot of plugins on the WordPress plugins repo – with over 100,000 active installs collectively. You can learn more about his WordPress solutions from: http://www.storeapps.orghttp://www.icegram.com and http://www.wpmeta.org
