Community makes the world go round. Says me. These days I pretty much bring one message everywhere I go: Invest in your communities because they matter. More than software. More than infrastructure. The community that surrounds these is what makes or breaks it. Continue reading “Why I Love the Community Bazaar” →

Coworking Spaces with Daily Rates

Community Spotlight: Santa Clarita Valley, California
Meetups originally held at the Santa Clarita Public Library (Old Town Branch) in the southeast part of the Santa Clarita Valley in Newhall, California. As we build the WordPress Community in northern Los Angeles County, we convene at area Starbucks or Barnes & Noble. We hope to hold future meetups in the meeting facility at the College of the Canyons here in Valencia.
We offer two flavors of monthly meetups: 1) is our weeknight meetup which is geared toward our professional members (mid to advanced level); and 2) our Saturday meetup is for beginning to mid-level users but both flavors are open to all.
Our topics have ranged in all areas of the WordPress open source project for Themes, Plugins, Page Builders, Gutenberg, and more.

Community Spotlight: São Paulo, Brazil
São Paulo is a huge metropolis. As Wikipedia defines us “The metropolis is […] the most populous city in Brazil, the Western Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, besides being the largest Portuguese-speaking city in the world.” Yes, we’re bigger than New York and Mexico City. Crossing the city by car, can take easily 3 hours, if the traffic is “normal”.

What’s in My Bag? WCUS Edition
Every year we write a “What to Bring” post to help you get the most out of WordCamp. This year I’m taking inspiration from Ma.tt (and many others) to show you what I’ll have in my bag when I attend WordCamp US.
