A/V Release Forms for WordPress.tv

Konstantin Obenland raised the point today that 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.

  • While someone can’t undo permission they’ve already granted, if they have chosen global option they should be able to log in and undo that option for future.
  • It might make sense to tie this to the .org profiles, as more event activity is going to live there.
