  • WordPress, Wapuus and Web3

    WordPress, Wapuus and Web3

    WordCamp Switzerland 2023Speaker: Nick Weisser

    September 20, 2023 — In September 2021 the team behind Web3 WP released the first Wapuu NFT (non-fungible token) collection. Wapuu is the lovable, open source, and (un)official mascot of WordPress. Wapuu swag has been created and collected at WordCamps around the world. Web3 WP built a generative art project of 2,222 unique Wapuus that can be minted as an NFT, collected, and traded by the WordPress community on the Ethereum blockchain.

    In this talk, I will give an introduction to NFTs in general, how artists and creators can leverage digital collectibles and how I created the Swiss Wapuu NFT Collection that will drop at WordCamp Switzerland 2023. Every WordCamp Switzerland attendee will be eligible to mint a Swiss Wapuu NFT at a very low presale price and receive a t-shirt with the Wapuu they minted. Anybody else will also be able to mint a Swiss Wapuu NFT during the second presale which does not come with the t-shirt, though. This means you have 7 days to mint one of only 27 unique Wapuus, one for each canton.

    All you need is a Web3 wallet like Metamask that supports the Polygon blockchain. This is a non-profit NFT project, which means that after covering expenses, all proceeds will be used to support Swiss WordPress meetups and WordCamps.

    Just like the Web3 WP Wapuu collection, the Swiss Wapuu NFT collection, is another experiment to explore the intersection of WordPress and Web3.

    La comunidad que dio un empujoncito a mi vida

    WordCamp Pontevedra 2023Speaker: Eneko Garrido

    September 18, 2023 — “La idea que tengo es contar mi experiencia en torno a la comunidad WordPress.
    El como después de unos meses en 2019 sin haber podido apenas salir de casa, me animé a ir a la WordCamp Bilbao, sin conocer a nadie, ni siquiera saber donde me metía. Simplemente porque lo había visto en el panel de mi web.
    Hablar de como conocí a la comunidad, las personas tan maravillosas que la forman y lo gratificante que es sentirse parte de ella.”

  • Lost, Hirō Onoda y el Equipo de Plugins

    Lost, Hirō Onoda y el Equipo de Plugins

    WordCamp Pontevedra 2023Speaker: Álvaro Gómez Velasco

    September 18, 2023 — Quiero contar mi experiencia durante la transición del equipo de plugins anterior (léase: Mika) al equipo actual y cómo a veces dependemos demasiado de esfuerzos desproporcionados y continuados de muy poca gente. Tal y como lo ilustraría Randall Monroe. Mi idea era hilarlo con la historia de Hirō Onoda, el soldado Japonés que se quedó 29 años solo en las selvas de Borneo pensando que la guerra no había terminado, y la serie de TV «Lost» (lo de los 108 minutos, el que la haya visto lo sabrá).
