On the podcast today we have Angela Jin. She’s the Head of Programs and Contributor Experience at Automattic, where she oversees the work of multiple teams dedicated to the WordPress open source project. Several weeks ago, Angela wrote a blog post entitled The Next Generation of WordCamps. It laid out how WordCamps have been run for many years, as well as trying to begin a conversation about how they might look in the future. After much consultation Angela thinks that it’s time to see if varying the format of WordCamps and other WordPress events might be beneficial for the community. But what are these changes and how might they be rolled out? Angela talks though this and more on the podcast today. If you’re curious about how WordPress events might change in the future, this podcast is for you.
