Planning for Community Summit 2017

In preparation for the 2017 WordPress Community Summit (“CS”) on June 13th-14th before WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Europe in Paris, France we’ve been asked to provide the following (in summary):

  1. A list of topics for the CS
  2. A list of representatives to attend the CS
  3. One or two contributors who are willing to help with the organization of the CS

This post serves as a request for input for the above three areas. Note that these three requests are detailed further with some clarifying notes on Make/Summit.
