Some of my comments on make.wordpress.org

I participate to discussions more in the main “Making WordPress” Slack workspace, but want to mention some important discussions here:

• Comment on Current challenges of WordPress Events, 4 June 2024
• The GatherPress proposal, 22 January 2024 (and see more on my blog post)
• About local communities Slack workspaces, 27 March 2024, 14 December 2023, 11 December 2023
• About the regional WordCamp’s policy: 4 February 2023, 19 March 2022, 10 November 2017
  These discussions participated to a relaxed policy for regional events (We could name our one “Switzerland” again) and later to the NextGen events pilot program, then integrating different types of events under the simple events name.
• About a fr_CH locale: 1 August 2020
