Community Spotlight: Communauté WordPress Montréal Community
Bonjour! The WordPress Montreal community is a vibrant group of WordPress enthusiasts that love getting together to learn, share, and encourage each other. We host meetups once a month throughout the year and hold our annual WordCamp in the summer. Our group is bilingual, which means our communication, meetups, and WordCamp talks are given in English and French. We welcome all WordPress users, from bloggers to advanced developers. Not only are we peers, we’re also friends, mentors, and teachers. Some have even met their future business partners!
Important Deadline: November 10
Can you believe that WordCamp US is just 29 days away?! Time has flown, and it’s almost time for us all to meet in Nashville and celebrate the WordPress community! All that said, it’s time to point out a vital deadline. To ensure that we can give our printers for t-shirts and name badges sufficient time to fulfill our order, we have to have our orders to them by November 10th.
What does this mean?
If you want a badge that has your name and gravatar printed on it, and you want to be guaranteed that you will get the size shirt that fits you best, please purchase a ticket by November 10th. If you’re not able to purchase a ticket by that date, fear not, as we’ll have blank badges we can write your name on and we’re planning to purchase a range of extra sizes for folks that register after the ordering deadline.
