On behalf of all the organizers, we would like to thank all who were able to attend WordCamp US in person and digitally.
We look forward to seeing everyone in St. Louis in 2019!
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 believe that this year’s recipient, Nidhi Jain, is a woman whom Kim would have liked to meet. Continue reading “Announcing the 2018 Kim Parsell Memorial Scholarship Winner: Nidhi Jain” →
Have you met the WordPress Greek Community?
More than a community, we’re a big company of friends (sometimes we may say family), ’cause Greeks are supposed to be all about family, food, hospitality, craziness, drinks, smiles and tons of love. Realizing that alone you get lost, but with family, there is always a path to be found.

They are very small country with meetups that gather more than one hundred people! And it has been said that this community’s passion is credited for bringing WordCamp Europe 2018 to Belgrade.
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” →

Sometimes when you travel you still have to get some work done. A coffee shop may work in a pinch, but nothing quite beats a quiet workspace. Everyone has different needs for coworking, but I’ll filter our list down to locations that have drop-in access with day rates and suitable for working on a computer (free power, wifi, etc).

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.

If you’re usually pretty content with whatever coffee is handed to you by your hotel, conference, or even big name coffee chain with a mermaid; then this post isn’t for you. (You’ll have no problem finding coffee.)

Even if you brought your Aeropress (and frankly, why wouldn’t you), this post will help you find the best coffee shops during WordCamp US. Continue reading “Where to Get a Great Cup Of Coffee” →

Since we are expecting over 2,000 attendees from around the world, it’s important to know American tipping customs when eating at the many local restaurants and eateries Nashville has to offer.
