A particular Community Team focus this year is our meetups. We’ll be looking at new ways to get them the support they need to help them grow.
To highlight events, we have created a new centralized WordPress Events landing page in WordPress.org! It’s a site with infinite possibilities, and we need your suggestions and ideas on how to shape it as it grows for the future.
Feedback Requested on the New WordPress Events Page
First, a little about the site.
This site aims to give more visibility to all kinds of WordPress events around the globe. Here you’ll find upcoming WordPress events like scheduled WordCamps, Meetups, Next Gen WordPress Events (WordPress Events from now on), as well as how to organize them.
So far, the site consists of the following three pages:
Those three pages are just the beginning of a vision where we bring the WordPress Events our local meetups are organizing closer to our users and visitors of WordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/.
The goal is for this site to become the central source of information for all WordPress Community events and organizers. From getting started to finding an event to attend, we can have one resource that supports them all.
Share your ideas here and help us shape the future of this resource.
