Heavily focused on very techy Linux and WordPress stuff. Once I started tinkering with WordPress I began to understand the principles of open source and what kind of communities those can start around a specific piece of software. I&#8217;ve learned so much in my current job and I want to bring this expertise to others who may e.g. be intimidated by a command line. In other words, by giving a talk I want to encourage everyone to try out new things that are out of their comfort zone &#8211; I think this as a good method to give back to the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\" \/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>What sparked your interest in becoming a speaker at WCEU?
