Are you dissatisfied with your current blog software? What does your blog software do right, and where does it fall short? Could it do some things better?

Do you know the people who write your blogging software? Would you like to know them?

Habari (www.habariproject.org) is a PHP-based blogging platform with the goal of improving the experience of blogging. It's a work-in-progress, but already extremely stable and functional. Habari allows you to focus on writing your blog, and does not clutter up your screen with buttons and doodads that distract from writing.

The Habari development community is meeting for the first time in a face-to-face setting this weekend at the Downtown Technology Center! This is a terrific opportunity for new users and the curious to come learn about Habari, engage with Habari developers, and help influence the development process. Whether you're a novice blogger, or a seasoned PHP developer, there should be something for you at Habari Party.

Join the Habari community on Saturday to talk all things blogging, and help influence Habari development.
