Like we’ve done in the past two years, there will be certain things we will be looking for when making the decision about which talks to include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Diversity of subject<\/strong> \u2014 since WordCamp Europe will attract people from different areas,\u00a0we need to make sure that we\u2019re providing content that\u2019s useful for developers, designers, bloggers, business owners, and everyone else in between.<\/li>\n
- Diversity of geographical location and gender<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0the final schedule will represent the WordPress community worldwide, while particularly showcasing WordPressers in Europe.<\/li>\n
- Novelty<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0is the presentation saying something new? Or saying something old in a new way?<\/li>\n
- Relevance<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 is the content relevant to WordPress and WordPress users today?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And here is some data on the applications we received<\/h3>\n
We got 171 applications from 30 countries all over the world. That’s almost 93% more applications than we received for WordCamp Europe 2014 when we got 88 applications from 19 countries. \u00a0Thank you again to everyone who applied.<\/p>\n
