Who is going to WordCamp Nordic?
The team needs facilitators for the Community Table at Contributor DayContributor 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/.. At least four experienced deputies will be there, so table is covered.
The last Community Summit was in 2017, 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.
Historically, Community Summit happens when we have problems that we can’t solve online. The event, as we’ve done it in the past, requires an invitation-only format, which introduces a pretty toxic element into our egalitarian and highly open group. It is traumatic to organize an invitation-only event in the WordPress project.
But what if we could re-imagine it as an event for vision and community building? Getting feedback first from the community is key.
We plan on postig in the Community blog ans start with some basic questions: “What does community summit mean to you? should we do one/do we need it? how should we handle invite-based or should it be done in a new way?”
