Title: Announcement: Review of WordCamp sites without a tracker item – removal of some old WordCamp sites Author: Timi Wahalahti Published: March 23, 2021 Last modified: September 23, 2021 --- [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sippis/) [Timi Wahalahti](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sippis/) 8:24 pm _on_ March 23, 2021 Tags: [wordcamp sites ( 10 )](https://make.wordpress.org/community/tag/wordcamp-sites/), [wordcamp.org ( 34 )](https://make.wordpress.org/community/tag/wordcamp-org/), [WordCamps ( 247 )](https://make.wordpress.org/community/tag/wordcamps/) # Announcement: Review of WordCamp sites without a tracker item – removal of some old WordCamp sites Already some time ago, [@iandunn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iandunn/) handed me the list of WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress.

Some sites are for WordCamps that have taken place well before the WordCamp tracker was introduced or do lack their counterpart for some other reason I’ve gone thru the list of 60 sites and checked their status. Based on that, my proposal is that we: 1. Create the counterpart post in the WordCamp tracker to backfill the history, with simple details like location, lead organiser (if available) and dates OR 2. Remove the WordCamp site, as the event never happened or the page links to a domain that does not work/isn’t controlled by WPCSWordPress Community Support WordPress Community Support PBC is a Public Benefit Corporation, created specifically to be the financial and legal support for WordCamps, WordPress Meetup groups, and any additional “official” events organized within the WordPress Community Events program. or WPFWordPress Foundation The WordPress Foundation is a charitable organization founded by Matt Mullenweg to further the mission of the WordPress open source project: to democratize publishing through Open Source, GPL software. Find more on [wordpressfoundation.org](https://wordpressfoundation.org/).. Some of these sites go back to the early years of WordCamps, to 2008. More eyes on this list and determining the right action for the site would be highly appreciated, in case there is some historical information that isn’t available from the site. [The list of sites and proposed actions is here.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/199SAx0G9q98QIeeHdeSLhXlWP6BgjKNiWMvwRIysVuk/edit?usp=sharing) Please leave a comment on this post if you think that the proposed action in some of the sites is wrong. The discussion will be open until 2021-04-23 after which we’ll start to remove the sites and creating counterparts in the tracker. If you’d like to help with creating these counterparts, let me know in the comments!
