We’ll be launching a new organizers’ site over on wordcamp.org later this week. We’ll ultimately be tying it to the wordpress.org user profiles so that WordCamp activity (organizing, speaking, volunteering, sponsoring, attending) will show up on your profile at wordpress.org as a contribution to the community (we feel these activities are important contributions and deserve recognition just as much as participating in forum threads and contributing patches). If you have never posted to the wordpress.org forums, Codex, etc then you should head over there some time soon and create a username/password so you’ll be all set to log in when we launch the new system.

Very nice. Glad to see that organizing these events are on the same appreciation level as the other aspects. Always knew that they were, but it’s very nice to see that in writing. Everybody can play their part in this game, and isn’t always about the coding.

So glad the idea behind this site isn’t going away. It was a huge resource for us when we were planning WordCamp OC for the first time. Also so stoked about the recognition piece on .org. It’s a lot of hard work putting a WordCamp on and it’s nice that all of the organizers will get recognition for their efforts. Kudos Jane.
