For many people, this year’s WordCamp US will be the first time attending such a major WordPress-focused event. While you may already know that you can expect a lot of great content at the main event over the weekend, you may have also heard about a few other events surrounding it. If you are confused, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered!

Yesterday we brought you up to speed on Contributor Day, an event open to any WordCamp US attendee who would like to get involved. Today we’ll let you know a little more about the Community Summit which takes place on December 2 and 3.

Community Summit

The Community Summit is a small event that brings together many of the people who actively contribute to the WordPress open source project. From event organizers  to core developers, each team brings and discusses the pressing issues for the year. Think of it as two days of planning, strategy, and work meetings for the WordPress open source community.

Community Summit attendees, or folks who are just curious, can find out more about the details of this year’s confab on the Community Summit pages.
