If you haven’t read it, you might want to. Warning: it’s a long thread! At the Community Summit, we discussed regional WordCamps — the notes will be found [here](https://make.wordpress.org/summit/) when they’re published — and I’d like to open up discussion about the expectations we should set for people who want to organize a regional 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](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/).. **EDIT: this is a discussion of the expectations we want to set for when a group of people come to us and say, “We want to have a WordCamp that represents a geographical community larger than one city/metro area.” We’re calling that kind of event a Regional WordCamp.** ### Goals for a Regional WordCamp I think we all mostly agree on the goals for an event of this type: to celebrate, represent, and grow local WordPress communities in the affected region. A primary goal for the WordPress Global Community TeamGlobal Community Team A group of community organizers and contributors who collaborate on local events about WordPress — monthly WordPress meetups and/or annual conferences called WordCamps. is to help support a WordPress meetupMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our [Meetup Organizer Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/community/handbook/meetup-organizer/). group and annual WordCamp in as many cities as possible in the world. Regional WordCamps work toward that goal by connecting people who weren’t already active in their local WordPress community and/or inspiring attendees to start communities in their hometowns. (If you would like to suggest some changes to the goals, please feel free to share your thoughts in a comment on this post!) Here are many questions: ## A) What defines a region? We already have WordCamp US and WordCamp Europe. Different groups of people have expressed interest in organizing a country-based event (WordCamp Netherlands), a continent-based event (WordCamp Asia/Southeast Asia, final name TBD), and a group- of-countries-based event (WordCamp Nordic). 1. How small or large a region do we want to entertain? For example: WordCamp [Bihar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bihar) (states/provinces)? WordCamp [Upstate New York](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstate_New_York) (a region within a state/province)? WordCamp [Andalucía](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andalusia)( a region made up of many states/provinces)? ## B) What level of local community development should a region have? Regional WordCamps need a lot of local, experienced organizers and volunteers wherever the event is hosted. If there aren’t already a certain number of local communities in a region that have hosted successful WordCamps, then a regional event won’t be able to move around the region, share the organizing work, and provide new leadership opportunities. 1. What expectation should we set for the requisite number of local communities, WordCamps, and number of consecutive WordCamps? 2. Should we place any expectation on how active the local community is, and how successful the WordCamps were? For example: should we expect a country like Bolivia to have 5 WordCamps in one year before they propose a WordCamp Bolivia? Or 5 WordCamps for two years straight? And what if some of those 5 WordCamps lost money or had a lot of problems? ## C) What kind of oversight and support should regional WordCamps expect? These are probably mostly going to be larger-than-usual, flagship events. Some exceptions to our normal expectations are made for this type of event already, as can be seen in the cases of WordCamp US and WordCamp Europe, which are not casual events with lean operating budgets. Should we set higher-than-usual standards for the organizing team? For example: 1.

Is it reasonable to ask the lead organizer of a regional WordCamp to make a monthly report on this blog? ## D) What questions are missing? If you have another doubt or consideration that isn’t covered here, please share it with the team by commenting on this post! ### Now what? If you have an opinion on these topics, please share them in a comment on this post. 🙂 Based on the discussions we have here and in the upcoming team meetings, I would like to see us create a new page or section of the WordCamp Organizer Handbook for Regional WordCamps, with some clear expectations for would-be organizers. **Let’s set ourselves a goal of spending a week on this discussion, closing it on Wednesday July 26. **I’ll summarize the comments by the end of next week, with the goal of having the new handbook documentation published by August 4, 2017.

So… **If you are a deputy who is online at the time that Office Hours is scheduled to start, but no one else has started it yet, then please start it yourself.** All you need to do is announce in #community-events that you are starting Office Hours. You can also pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of“ Ping me when the meeting starts.” in #community-team to see which other deputies are online to help you out. If you know you won’t be online to close the hour-long session, then just ask another deputy to do that for you. Note that, while Office Hours is a time for community organisers to ask questions, you don’t have to personally know all the answers. It’s up to all deputies to answer as they can, but if you don’t know a specific answer then you are totally welcome to say that you’ll find out and follow up with the individual when you can. You can also ping someone who is likely to know the answer and they will respond when they are able to do so. A huge thanks to all deputies who take part in Office Hours already! Even if no one asks any questions in some of the sessions, never under-estimate the value of this time for the community and how much of an impact you’re having by being involved in it.
