WordCamp 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 and .org marketing go way back! In fact the first Contributor 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/. which featured marketing was in 2014 at WCEU Sofia, during which I spearheaded and led some very enthusiastic participants, well before we had a p2 or Slack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel.
This year, I’m happy to announce that @bridgetwillard will be leading the Marketing efforts at WCEU 2017 Contributor Day! We’re working together to coordinate some of the details ahead of that day, which we’ve started work on below, but be sure to look out for her on the actual day. For my part, I’ll be on leave at that time so I’m grateful others are stepping up and contributing more and more. There’s plenty of room for your contribution!
How can you participate? Read on for some words from Bridget about preparing for Contributor Day, and as always, see you in Slack #marketing.
Contributor Day at WCEU 2017
As you know, June 15 is Contributor Day before WordCamp Europe.
The great thing about Contributor Day is that hundreds of volunteers gather in one place to do what do best. And this is the basis of everything we love about WordPress. It’s the most robust CMS with the most generous Community. Honestly, it’s an easy sell.
What’s fun is that we go outside of Slack for a day, leaving our computers (well, not totally — please bring them) and collaborate.

Contributing to Marketing
The Marketing Team (because Marketing is a huge task) has been split into four groups based upon audience personas.
We have quite a few meetings in May. We’d love your help.
Can we do a combined effort in all of our subgroups to focus on a brainstorm list of things that you’d love to be addressed and/or worked on at Contributor Day? That way, those who show up on Contributor Day will already have a list of things to tackle/discuss.
I see this as a great opportunity for all of us to participate regardless of where you will be physically located on June 15.
So, let’s get together, make a list, and roll up our sleeves!
We’re WordPress. We know Community. Let’s do this.
