Hello, organizers!
This month… What a month! September kicked off the new season of WordCamps with four spectacular in-person WordCamps: WCUS, WordCamp Kathmandu, WordCamp Jinja, and WordCamp Netherlands!
Want to check out the next WordCamps? Have a look at the schedule! If there are no WordCamps near you, here are a couple of suggestions for you:
- Organize a Meetup to watch the highlights from a WordCamp on WordPress TV with your community.
- Apply to organize a WordCamp in your city!
Talking about new ideas for Meetup events, have you ever thought about organizing a do_action charity hackathon? This month’s newsletter is focused around do_action events: what they are, and why your community might want to host one.

do_action events: WordPress Community Charity Hackathons
do_action hackathons are community-organized events that use WordPress to give deserving charitable organizations an online presence. Each do_action event includes participants from the local WordPress community coming together to plan and build brand new websites for one or more local organizations in one day or a few hours.
With do_action events, the WordPress community has helped more than 9500 NGOs around the world!
