June 18, 2018 — As a long time Drupal community member, I decided to participate in other free software communities to share my experiences and learn from theirs. In Nicaragua, my home country, the local WordPress community is very active. In this session I want to share my experience in being involved for almost a year now. In particular:

* What I have learned about community building and event organization.
* How my background as speaker, code contributor, and mentor in Drupal has been useful in my volunteering efforts.
* The benefits of the two communities working together to promote the adoption of free software in the country.

It has been a great first year and I look forward to get more involved in the WordPress community.
