We’re excited to announce that volunteers at WordCamp events will now receive a dedicated profile badge on WordPress.org! This update recognizes the invaluable contributions of volunteers who help make WordCamps successful worldwide.
Why This Matters
For years, WordCamp organizers and speakers have had profile badges to highlight their involvement in the WordPress community. Volunteers, who play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of WordCamp events, now have their efforts acknowledged in the same way.
How It Works
WordCamp organizers can assign volunteer badges through the WordCamp site. For detailed instructions on how to register volunteers and assign badges, please refer to the Community Profile Badges page.
Acknowledgments
This initiative has been shaped by the contributions and discussions of many community members. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion, including those in the original proposal thread and the GitHub issue. Special thanks to @sippis, @iandunn, @pkevan, @chaion07, @sebastienserre, @rmarks, @jaz_on, @casiepa, @patriciabt, and many others who contributed ideas and efforts to make this happen.
This update is a significant step toward recognizing all who contribute to the WordPress ecosystem. Thank you to all WordCamp volunteers for your dedication and hard work!
