Whatever method you choose to use – make sure you
Document the process
--if it’s not documented, it doesn’t happen
--before you lay down 1 single piece of code – get your client to sign off on it

WordCamp OKC -
What does it take to put on a WordCamp – find it all here
http://plan.wordcamp.org/become-an-organizer/
It is generally considered that ongoing meetup groups are the lifeblood of the local WordPress community, and
that WordCamps are their annual celebrations. If there is an active meetup group in your city but you do not
participate, it is unlikely you will be approved as the primary organizer of the annual event, so you should start
attending the meetups first. If there is no meetup group yet, you will probably be prompted to try and start one.
Being able to get 20-30 people together over a shared love of WordPress will give us more confidence that you
can bring together a bigger community at WordCamp.
