If you organize WordPress events – be they WordCamps, meetups, or some other interesting kind of gathering – do take a look at what’s happening over on make.wordpress.org/events. Eleven projects have been posted for community involvement, and they run the gamut from translating WordCamp guidelines all the way to creating new meetup starter packs! There’s something for practically everyone here, and now’s a great time to get involved.
Great WordPress events help to make our community a wonderful place to publish, design, and code. When everyone pitches in, the sky’s the limit!
I live in Los Angeles, Ca 90041 wondering if there is an event coming up soon to be able to learn more?
Hi Leti – there’s usually an event in LA every year in late summer, but in the meantime you might want to check out http://www.meetup.com/SoCalWP/ :)
I teach ESL at the Universidad de Londres in the Roma. I would like to participate in some way to make the event a success. It’s been a long time, but I have given presentations on pronunciation, for example, at local TESOL conventions. I’m an ex-pat and have lived in Mexico City since 1976.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Hi Jean! Check out http://2013.mexico.wordcamp.org/ for an event in Mexico City that you could help with! :)
Hi I am interested in attending a WordPress camp in Richmond, Virginia. I am a newbie just learning about the various goodies that is offered by WordPress. I am in the process of designing a non-profit website with very little web experience. However WordPress and all the support, plugins and tutorials, I am much more knowledgeable and gaining confidence rapidly, there are times when I could use a friendly voice to help clear up issues that I am stuck in. I am ADHD and it can be overwhelming looking at the many topics and other items that catch my eye and get me sidetracked. Anyway some type of live chat would be good as well.
Thanks for your time,
Bonnie Waitman
Hi there Bonnie! WordCamps are organized by volunteers, and currently no one has volunteered to organize a WordCamp in Richmond. If you’re looking for a local user’s group, you might consider attending a meetup here: http://www.meetup.com/804RVA/
WordPress is written and maintained by volunteers, and while there are lots of resources at http://wordpress.org/support/ and http://wordpress.org/support/, there is no live support program provided by wordpress.org at this time.
