5 Good Faith Rules 1. WordPress Meetups are for the benefit of the WordPress community as a whole, not specific businesses or individuals. All actions taken as an event organizer are with the best interest of the community in mind. 2. Membership in the local Meetup group is open to all who wish to join, regardless of ability, skill, financial status, or any other criteria. 3. Meetups are volunteer-run with volunteer speakers. In cases where a modest attendance fee might be necessary, this fee should only cover the costs of the Meetup and shouldn’t be used to pay speakers or organizers. 4. Meetup groups allow events to be organized by any reliable/trusted member of the community. 5. Meetups are welcoming places where everyone works to foster an accepting environment which is free of discrimination, incitement to violence, promotion of hate, and general jerk-like behavior. @FrancescaMarano

WordPress.org is an open source project created and maintained by a community of users. Its mission is to democratise publishing through open source software.
WordPress is a global and inclusive project made up of hundreds of thousands of people that meet online, through Slack, and team blogs.
However, offline and in person is where the true magic happens. From a single event in 2006 (WordCamp San Francisco), we now have hundreds of meetups every month and over 120 WordCamps each year.
They are all organised by volunteers, including the two flagship events: WordCamp Europe and WordCamp US, that have now over 2,000 attendees each year.
In this talk I will tell the story of the WordPress events, how they evolved through the years, how the WordPress Community Team supports them, and how we organise our web presence and communications.
for free. You
can too.
