Following Mary’s post on welcoming all languages and communities to Make WordPress Slack, we’re ready to start creating channels for local meetup groups, locale communities, and flagship events. Check out the buzz at WCEU during Contributor Day!
Here’s how to get your community set up
Join the #community-slack-migration channel in Make WordPress Slack and post a request with:
* Your group name
* Your Meetup.com URL or equivalent community page
* A list of any channels that need to be created
We’ll work with you to take care of the rest and let you know the timing based on your needs.
What you’ll get: A dedicated channel in Make WordPress Slack where your members can connect, share updates, and connect with the broader WordPress project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What about our message history?
We can import messages. File imports aren’t currently supported, but existing workspace exports can be converted to HTML and stored in Google Drive so your history isn’t lost. Just mention it in your request and we’ll work with you on it.
What if we need more than one channel?
Start with your main channel and see how it goes. If your community grows and needs more structure — separate channels for docs, events, or dev discussion, for example — we can work with you on that.
What about private channels for organizers?
Private organizer channels are handled case-by-case. Just mention it in your request.
Do our members need a WordPress.org account?
Yes, a WordPress.org account is required to join Make WordPress Slack. If your members don’t have one yet, they can create one here.
