 The topic today is building, actually the local open source community, some of the, some of the opening remarks were, some of the opening remarks were, essentially it operated a bit about building the local community, building, working with students, working with the campuses. So, we'll go ahead and... We're talking about, we'd like to think about sports, I went on Google, and Google came up with this. Community is a group of people who share something in common, wonderlanded. You can define a community by shared attributes of people in it and by strength or connections. So, I'm going to go ahead and finish for the highlight two parts of it. Once we learn about what the community is, we go over how we can build it and what actually takes, what's important to actually build a community. So, we're doing a nurturing... So, something in common, any idea? What am I talking about? Okay, so, a few months ago, a few people met, some of them were developers, some were devops, some were working on PhDs, some were designers, some were teammates, some were working in the government of Canada, and they were... This is a photo from the WordPress coaching app. So, what they actually have in common is WordPress. They come from different things, they have different ideas, they have different backgrounds, they have different cultural... Yeah, cultural backgrounds, some are different life skills, professional skills. And they all come together to essentially discuss and share about how they use WordPress. That coming together itself is the community. And what happens is some of these people meet over and over again, become friends, start to collaborate, start to get ideas. Ideas on how to take that message to working, hundreds of people, like this worker. Something similar happened last year, which was a meeting, an awkward meeting all the time, becomes a work and a concurrency. What is interesting is, we know now what the community is. It's a meetup that becomes a work app. It's a group of people coming together with such a WordPress. But how do we get there? How do we build the community? What should we do to actually create a community? So, one of the first things, first advice I would give you is, to make space and you do it everywhere. So usually your lines are photographed in a single line. So there are three lines for making space for each other. So yeah, the idea is to make space for everybody. Try not to convert your makers, to try not to convert your community into your employees. Try not to capitalize it into a business and try to give it more open source friendly and make sure that it belongs to everybody. Explore and navigate together. So first part is it belongs to everybody and then what happens next? We need to explore and navigate what is together. Try to find your way. So in the community what happens is there is no straightforward paths. We have like a light house. And it's actually a finding a way to the light house. The light house is making, becoming a WordPress expert, becoming a WordPress core contributor to something like that. So the community allows you to explore and navigate together, rather than doing it otherwise. Self-loathing, etc. You get mentors, you get mentorships. So also think of your community as a little bit of a topic library where you can learn, eat and share knowledge. When I say a public library it means that the place that it's public has rules. You can't talk loudly, you can't play music there. But it also has, it's also accessible to everybody regardless of backgrounds, gender, and others. So, and finally you have to be at a safe place. A safe place that allows people to navigate together, share things. This is very important because somewhere on the line people who have come together, there is a large group of people who are not sure if their students want to be at a safe place. People are improving each other or if they want to each other. Especially about their knowledge, about their mindset. Then it's all safe place. So good ideas to create a safe place for everyone and people. For the community it's always a good idea to have regular data. Regular data, regular place, regular type. That works best. That works best for any community, regardless of whether you're in the community or not. That's it. Any questions? My question is about the thing here. Very personal, individual. So how can an individual benefit from classical and from being part of the community? So, specifically WordPress community. So WordPress is... So this is my personal journey into WordPress. I strongly believe in the ethos of open source. But I'm not a developer. I think one use Linux. And a lot of the open source communities, etc. in Linux, you have to know how to use it. I learned that after joining Linux. The thing is that it could actually be content writers. It could be content writers. It could be designers. It could be people from very different backgrounds. Or using this open source software. Things they get involved in the community. They could be introduced to the open source ideas. Or there's something to take ahead and actually share it in different ways than just about the developers who share it. That's it. Hi, everybody. My question... I just want to really give you a speech, actually. Could you please elaborate on the portion where you said please make sure you don't use them as a user base? Can you say specifically about the community? So, when you're building a community in the WordPress community, do not try to use it as a user base. Do not try to be too... Do not try to be cellular. Talk about it. Talk about what you know as a developer or as a person or as a freelancer. But the point is to share what you know rather than try to gain users or customers. Things like that. Because once that happens, it's a one-way discussion of one person or two people with an entire team of soldiers and a similar community as you talk. So, the community essentially has to be people who can... Community survives individuals. We are so far away. We have a wide range of user base of the community. So, if you're not interested, you can talk about that. Thank you. A big question, please. Thank you. How do you think a community can grow? Technically, WordPress is a developing community and we know WordPress is one of the vibrant communities among the whole world communities. So, please, share your thoughts on how a community can grow. Yes. So, we can actually talk about that. There are some things that any community has to do which is what I think. So, for me, it's a very big thing. So, it was a little piece of guiding points but one of the main things that we can do to meet a person there are online communities of this but the reason we have offline communities and we ask people to meet when they're offline is that people are actually connected with other people and that sort of helps you for your clients to be able to help you grow. And yes, it's a really big support and if I ask everybody who's part of a WordPress community, like all of you are because you're just a dedicated worker and that essentially is a it's a very open and inclusive way to get people in. So, that sort of helps with the last question. Thanks a lot.
