The 2017 WordPress Community Summit (CS) will take place on Tuesday-Wednesday, 13-14 June, before 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 in Paris, France and it’s a by-invitation conference.
The main purpose of the summit is to move the project forward before and after the event, with the event being a milestone in a larger set of work.
With this main goal in mind, we’ll touch base with all team reps to figure out which of the topics proposed can be handled beforehand, and come up with topics that would be:
1) of importance to the project as a whole
2) would benefit from cross-team collaboration
3) will leave us in a better position than when we started
In order to get this goal, we’re asking all teams to figure out which topics really need an in-person planning day, and then start working on as many of these remaining topics as possible online and before the event. This way, we’ll be able to loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop. back in May to see if there are any obstacles for these goals to be achieved by your team and to identify better which cross-team collaboration is needed, anything we can do to help move things along!
So who is invited?
Based on the topics proposed, the nominations posted by all make.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.
