Moving beyond WordCamps.

Okay, so I’m not really changing the direction away from WordCamps — just expanding a bit.

Up to now, I’ve mostly focused on adding WordCamps to the site, and I’ve been a little hesitant to include events that weren’t clearly WordPress-related. But I’ve been seeing more and more folks attending events that, while not strictly WordPress, are still deeply tied to open source and relevant to the community.

So I’m curious: do events like CloudFest or Open Source Summit belong on the site? Are there others (past or upcoming) that you think should be included?

Reply and let me know what you think!

📹 Some folks have already started to add their speaker videos to the site! 🎉 In addition to showing up on your Presser profile, your videos also now aggregated into a broader collection of videos on the Speaker Videos page.

Next up: adding them to the event pages.

🎂 June has one of the largest numbers of Presser birthdays (at least in The WP World). Happy birthday to the 20 of you who are celebrating this month — including Takis Bouyouris, who's birthday is today!

As always, check out below for this week's updates ⬇️
