WordCamp Guidelines – March 28th Report


Andrea, Karen, Dustin, Tony and I met as usual on Wednesday/Thursday and the outcome of that meeting is as follows;

We have identified the most hotly contested pain points from our survey and in the coming days will be personally emailing those respondents who had indicated a desire to talk further about those guidelines to get more feedback and to deepen the discussion about the issues. It is the goal of these discussions to start getting together some thoughts as to recommendations for improvements,  be they to the guidelines themselves, or to the communication about the existence and application of the guidelines.

There first stand outs in the list of  ’pain points’  was the keeping of ticket price to $20US per day so this week we will be emailing those people who identified with that point strongly in the survey to get further input from them.

It feels like we’re doing a lot of data gathering.  The goal of this committee, is to be able to present recommendations as to how we can best move forward with WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They’re one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. organising under a set of guidelines that works for the community as a whole and for WordPress in general.  So, all of this talking is helping us take the pulse of the community with a view to a diagnosis of the issues and hopefully, a remedy.

We look forward to chatting further to those of you who have invited discussion.
