Background
Earlier this year, @jonoaldersonwp and @joostdevalk highlighted some significant SEO problems with WordCamp.org, and proposed changing the URL structure to help fix them.
After discussion, the team decided to change the existing structure of year.city.wordcamp.org to city.wordcamp.org/year.
Status
All sites have now been migrated to the new structure. I’m not aware of any significant problems on past or current sites, but if you notice any please let me know.
Next Steps
We’ll need to wait a few months, in order for search engines to update their indexes. After that, we can measure the discoverability of WordCamp sites again, to see what problems remain, and how severe they are. Based on that, we can re-evaluate potential solutions for the remaining problems.
