WordCamp Panama 2019

For the first time in Panama a WordCamp will be held, on October 19th and 20th at the Technological University of Panama, the question that many people ask me is as follows:

What is a WordCamp?

The definition I’ve found in WordCampCentral, “a WordPress-focused conference, is informal, organized by the community with the idea of putting a place where everyone from the least usual users to the core developers can participate, share ideas and get to know each other.”

The word community is mentioned in the previous paragraph, and yes, a WordCamp is an annual community event around the WordPress free software content manager, a non-profit conference on WordPress topics, the most widely used content manager of the World.

Another Question Arises, What is WordPress?

Let me tell you, it is the most popular Content Management System (CMS) Free Software Web in the world, used in the creation of web pages that allows us to easily have, from a personal blog to an own business or an online store.

The success and extension of WordPress is due to the huge community of developers and designers, in charge of programming it at its core or creating plugins and templates for the community. In March 2019 it was used by 33.4% of all sites on the Internet and 60.3% of all content manager-based sites (CMS).

Great websites are built with this CMS, for example, TechCrunch, BBC America, PlayStation.Blog, University of Washington, SAP News Center. There are many others, so if you are interested in having your own website, this is a recommended platform, you can contact me for it.

We Don’t Seek Benefits

A community event for the community, this because WordCamps represent a city and a local community, is endorsed by WordCamp Central. This entity audits the entire process and accompanies it by providing material resources and tax management, it is an official event covered by the WordPress Foundation.

The local community, WordPress Panama, continuously organizes workshops, face-to-face or virtual, and the call for these meetings is given through the Meetup platform, which is also audited by the WordPress Foundation.

If you don’t look for benefits, then it’s free? I’m sorry to inform you that if it has a price, I’ll let you know later.
