Should WordCamp Websites Publish Sponsor-Provided Content?

The idea is to get the info from the community that might help us form a strategy around the issue. So far we have collected important feedback, comments are still open if you want to weigh in! As a reminder, we’re a consensus-seeking group, but not consensus-dependent.

WordCamp US 2018 – Community Team Plans – Will you be there? Is there something that you would like to work on (listed or not?) Please let us know!

Managing Online Classes – The Diversity Outreach Training team is looking for input on tools. They are looking for a more automated system for people to sign up for our classes and then receive reminders. Do you know of a tool that can help with that? Comment on the post!

Progressive Web App for WordCamps – Expanding the scope of the PWA created for 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 2018. What features should be there? We depend on our diverse team to help us identify all sorts of use cases!

Open Floor

We held our first WordCamp organisers chat on October 25th. It would be great to have it twice a month, so we can accomodate different timezones.

You can read the recap of the chat here and in the next few days a call for volunteers will go out, to find organisers for the Americas-friendly chat.

The UK community have started a sustainability document with ideas of how to improve sustainability at WordCamps and meetups, they will share their working document with us on the Community blog.
