The inaugural South by Deep South will be held September 26th-28th in Birmingham, Alabama.

We’re still working on the number of tracks, but they will include:

• Social Media/PR/Marketing
• Web development
• A full-blown WordCamp

That’s right — a full-blown WordCamp, the first we know of to be announced in the Southeastern United States.

Oh… there will be plenty to do, and plenty to see in the evenings, as Birmingham will also be hosting the 10th Annual Sidewalk Film Festival that very weekend. (For those of you from out of town… Sidewalk is getting to be a pretty big deal. Come now so you can brag to your friends about how ‘you knew it when…’)

A new design for SxDS is on the way, thanks to the generosity of Mitch Canter at StudioNashvegas.

Thanks Mitch!

I know we’re not done with the graphics yet, but it’s not too soon to have some Blog Buttons so folks can go ahead and kick up a little interest.

If you come up with a design you’d like to share, I’ll build a page and we can host them for people who want to show off.
