Community Booth at WordCamp Asia 2023

If you’ve been to 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 or US before you’ll be familiar with the Get Involved table or Community Booth – it’s a central location where attendees can find out more information about contributing to WordPress.

How does it work?

  • Add your name in any shift that you would like to take. The schedule is split into 2 conference days and each shift lasts for +/- 1 hour. Check the conference schedule just in case you don’t want to miss sessions that you particularly want to attend.

The Get Involved table at WCEU 2019

Do you love contributing to WordPress? Do you love telling other people about how much you love contributing to WordPress? Would you like those people to start contributing to WordPress themselves? Then do I have the opportunity for you!

tl;dr: Sign up for one or more Community Volunteer shifts at the WCEUWCEU WordCamp Europe. The European flagship WordCamp event. 2019 Get Involved table here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PAts7eeSKYcBgI-NmLMWBj70_utBFjwq5uVXPTxieWE/edit?usp=sharing (note that there are 2 tabs in the sheet – one for each day).

Europe or US before you’ll be familiar with the Get Involved table – it’s a central location (an actual physical table) where attendees can find out more information about contributing to WordPress. The table is staffed by community volunteers, and we aim to have it staffed by at least one person (but preferably more) from the start of registration to the end of the final session on each day of the WordCamp, not including Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/..

People working at the Get Involved table simply need to be able to explain how WordPress contributions work and help people find a good fit in the project for their particular set of skills.

What we’re looking for here is for community members to sign up for volunteer shifts at the Get Involved tables for WordCamp Europe 2019 in Berlin. We have split up the two conference days up into 1-hour shifts to make things easier and it would be great to have a selection of people from across the project (not just the Community team) involved here.

The schedule and sign-up sheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PAts7eeSKYcBgI-NmLMWBj70_utBFjwq5uVXPTxieWE/edit?usp=sharing – simply add your name to the white blocks in the “Community Volunteers” columns for any shifts that you would like to take. Note that there are 2 tabs in the sheet – one for each day. You can reference the event schedule to make sure you don’t miss any sessions that you particularly want to attend.

  • Will you be at WCUSWCUS WordCamp US. The US flagship WordCamp event.? Are you interested in helping staff this table? Andrea and/or I will be there most of the time, but I’d like to rotate in some replacements, especially anyone who’s interested in having one at their WordCamps in the future, or anyone who actively gives advice to WC organizers (deputiesProgram Supporter Community Program Supporters (formerly Deputies) are a team of people worldwide who review WordCamp and Meetup applications, interview lead organizers, and keep things moving at WordCamp Central.

  • I’ve updated the banner that describes the teams since last year, and ordered extras. I’d like to have these shipped between WCs like we do with the camera kits, and would like to get a few volunteers willing to help with keeping track of where the banners are/making sure they get sent to the appropriate next event in the region. Anyone interested?
  • I’d like to get some postcards printed in place of/in addition to the flyers I have made in the past. Any designers want to volunteer to help put those together?
