To honor the memory of Kim Parsell, the WordPress Foundation set up a memorial scholarship to ensure that Kim’s core values would continue to be infused into the WordPress community.
Kim was very keen on seeing women participate and thrive in all aspects of the WordPress community. We think that this year’s recipient, Bianca Welds, is a woman whom Kim Parsell would have liked to have met. Keep Reading Y’all

We meet at the downtown Jackson District Library in the auditorium.
Our primary (and most well-attended) monthly meetup is our Developer’s Breakfast. This meeting is targeted towards WordPress developers at varying levels of proficiency. In addition to making delicious pancakes, we discuss news, updates, and best-practices for WordPress in general, and we also open the floor to allow members to “show and tell” different tools or features they’ve picked up on.

Would you believe that every single Nashvillian on the organizing team is an omnivore? To make sure that we got our vegetarian and vegan friends some local-tested options for eating out while in town, Lead Organizer Dustin Meza, talked to his mom who is a vegetarian. She gave us a list of her favorite spots with her thoughts on each spot. Keep Reading Y’all

“We are a small group that meets outside of Washington, DC. Being small gives us a chance to get to know new people and make them feel welcome. We usually have dinner and drinks and spend most of the time talking about what we do, in addition to having a featured speaker.”

Like WordCamp US 2016, we will have a Slack channel on the WordPress Project slack. For those already on the WP Project Slack, the channel name is just #wcus.
Slack is a communication tool used by the WordPress Community to communicate about various aspects of the WordPress Project. In addition to being able to directly message anyone who has an account, you can join a number of different “channels” to communicate about specific topics. For example, WordCamp US has a channel on the WordPress Project Slack to talk about WordCamp US-related things. As stated above, that channel is called #wcus.
Slack is also the easiest way to connect with fellow attendees before, during, and after the event. It’s a fantastic messaging tool. Keep Reading Y’all
