Assisting organizations that make this world a better place is highly inspiring and satisfying. But that can’t be the only reward when you give your professional best. In a nutshell: Birgit shares how to work with nonprofits and how to bring them into the best light online.

She dives into the importance of a rare commodity: Listening. She teaches how to create catered comprehension. She discusses how you can build a donor/member-oriented website and how to incorporate the organization’s “bucket list” within the realities of budgets and capabilities.

You will learn about the wide range of online needs for various types of nonprofits and share info about plugins and tools to build useful solutions. You’ll walk way with the resources to connect with other nonprofit technologists and services.

Just because the organization is a nonprofit doesn’t mean you can’t make a living building effective websites with a notable online presence.

January 14, 2019 — Bij zo ongeveer elke WordCamp krijgen we een aantal goedbedoelde security adviezen te horen, zoals ‘update je plugins’, ‘kies een sterk wachtwoord’ en ‘verander de standaard admin-username’. Ik analyseerde 66.000 van de grootste WordPress sites om te zien hoe goed we naar o.a. dat laatste advies luisteren. Tipje van de sluier: het kan, (en moet), beter. De volgende spreekpunten komen aan bod: – Wat kunnen we leren van de gebruikersnamen van 66.000 WordPress websites – Wat houdt het lekken van informatie in, waar wordt informatie gelekt en wat zijn de gevolgen daarvan. – Een overzicht van veelgehoorde adviezen, de reden achter deze adviezen en hoe ze effectief te implementeren. – Implicaties van deze gelekte informatie met betrekking tot privacy regelgeving als GDPR.

January 6, 2019 — Voor grote festivals gebruikt men zware setups met veel servers, ondersteund door grote budgetten… Echter heeft slechts een beperkt percentage toegang tot de budgetten nodig om zwaar te gaan schalen. Het gros van de sites trekt namelijks slechts enkele weken of dagen per jaar een piekbelasting. En laat net die piekbelasting net te veel zijn voor je shared hostingpakket… In deze talk neem ik jullie mee op onderzoek en gaan we samen ontdekken hoeveel traffiek/bezoekers je kan accomoderen met een maandbudget van enkele tientjes. Hiervoor kijken we naar database replicatie (via het naar mijn mening zwaar ondergewaardeerde HyperDB), caching strategiëen en andere tweaks.

January 6, 2019 — “Nobody knows the trouble I’ve seen” – Do you know the spiritual song? This talk will cover a personal journey how working with WordPress saved my life. My very first touch with the thing internet I had at the end of the year 2000. My third daughter was a five-month-old baby girl when we went online. My first child was born when I was at the age of 18. Now I am a mom of five children and a grandmother of a cute baby. Today I am a successful working mum and happy with my outcome. But I struggled with some issues over several years. Mostly health issues caused by stress during and after the divorce, as well as some deaths in the vicinity. Nothing severe, but not ignorable. Hey, I survived a burnout after the hard times of divorce fights. I thought… But at the end of summer 2016, I got seriously ill. Not the right place for details here, but let me tell you what happened to me to stay alive. WordPress is part of my life since its beginning. Shortly after the first release, I played a lot with this piece of Software which let us enjoy great WordCamps and making friends. Being a part of such helpful and friendly community can help to survive and overcome real-life rock bottom events. Let me share with you the lessons I’ve learned.
