Meet the European WordPress Communities – Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary

Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, HungaryThis is the third article in our series about European communities. We started this series by presenting the communities from Poland, Lithuania and Estonia. Last week we presented the communities from Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Russia, and today we’re going west to present you the communities of Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Hungary.

These four countries have a strong historical connection, with people living in the same Austro-Hungarian Empire less than 100 years ago. This lasted even longer in the case of Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia as they were part of Yugoslavia, a country that broke down in a horrible war just 25 years ago. But today, older people could learn a valuable lesson from these “young forces” that work together to build communities on top of the most popular open source software in the world: WordPress.

Baltic Communities

Europe. So many communities and yet – can we name all of them? Do we know every city or country which organizes its own WordCamp or Meetup – where we could go to meet new people that share the same values as we do? With so many countries and so many organizers, Europe is perhaps the most vivid WordPress ecosystem in the world. Different languages used to separate people but today, thanks to WordPress – we all find our ways to work together and help each other.

And that’s the real power of WordPress and its ecosystem of communities. The idea behind WordCamp Europe is to get all these communities together. To hear stories, learn new things and get to know people. Make new friends. And is there a better platform than the very own WordCamp Europe website?

In this article series about the European communities we’ll introduce you to some colourful people from all over the continent. We’ll cover Central, Baltic, Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern Europe and today we’re presenting Baltic European Communities.   Continue reading Meet the European WordPress Communities – Poland, Lithuania, Estonia →
