DeputiesDeputy Community Deputies are a team of people all over the world who review WordCamp and Meetup applications, interview lead organizers, and generally keep things moving at WordCamp Central. Find more about deputies in our Community Deputy Handbook. who love to vet applications, let me know if you would be willing to vet these applications as well. 🙂 I’m not sure how many we’ll get, so I can’t estimate the workload, but I’ll be looking for help on these between August 14-25.
