Community Organizer<\/figcaption><\/figure>WordCamps don’t happen without valiant efforts from a whole slew of folks. From camp sponsors and volunteers, all the way up to the long-term planning team and the support team at WordCamp central, hundreds, if not thousands, of hours are poured into making local camps a reality.<\/p>\n

Speaker<\/figcaption><\/figure>As the centralized infrastructure for WordCamps has grown, our ability at the local level to connect to WordPress.org has gotten a lot sleeker.

Not that we need an excuse to get more involved with our favorite CMS, but .org profiles make our involvement more visible.
