# Ahead of WordCamp US last…

Ahead of 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/). US last year, 
I [held office hours that were open to the community](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/11/29/gutenberg-5-0-listening-office-hours/)
which gave both me and the folks I met with (via video conference) an opportunity
to connect directly. It was an enriching experience and I’d like to do the same 
at WordCamp Europe this year but this time in person.

I’ll hold these office hours between 11:00 am – 1:00 pm on Thursday and 9:00 am –
11:00 am on Friday and Saturday. In the spirit of speaking to as many people as 
possible, each time slot will be 15 minutes long with 5 minutes between each.

You can sign up using this link: https://calendly.com/mmullenweg/wceuofficehours

I’ll probably be joined by a colleague who will note any action items and/or follow-
ups and who will also help to manage the meeting flow.

I’m excited to participate in WCEU again and am very much looking forward to these
conversations, and of course looking forward to meeting as many folks as possible
in the hallway, at the sessions, and of course at the always-fantastic WordCamp 
Europe social events.

 3.  Hey [@matt](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matt/), can we also have an official
     photographer of [#WCEU](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/wceu/) provided access
     to document these?
      We’ll organize, if you’d be ok with this.

 6.  Would it be possible to hear a live streaming of your office hours conversations?
     Thank you and regards.

 9.  Everyone might not be comfortable being part of a live stream.
 10.  What kind of questions are expected here? The theme review team has both open
     questions about the future of themes and questions that are highly specific to
     the theme review team. Maybe these specific questions are not appropriate for 
     this format? But then what other means and platforms do we as WordPress.orgWordPress.
     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/](https://wordpress.org/) teams have to get answers to 
     our questions?

      * +1 on “not live streaming these” and only taking photos if Matt and his _guest_
        affirmatively opt into that. We’re all capable of publicizing the content of
        that chats if we so choose, no need to make them a spectacle like Q&A after
        the state of the wordState of the Word This is the annual report given by Matt
        Mullenweg, founder of WordPress at WordCamp US. It looks at what we’ve done,
        what we’re doing, and the future of WordPress. [https://wordpress.tv/tag/state-of-the-word/](https://wordpress.tv/tag/state-of-the-word/).
        too often becomes.
      * FWIW, I spoke to Matt online the last time he did these and it was a good experience,
        even if he didn’t accommodate any of my requests. I’d definitely do it again,
        but sadly won’t be at WCEU this year.

 14. These are more meant to be an opportunity for people to have 1:1 private conversations,
     if the other person wants to write about it or share anything from the conversation
     afterward they could ask and I would agree. There will be a public and livestreamed
     Q&A at my presentation on Friday, and we could look into doing another one of 
     those in a few months purely online.
