Meet Nilo Vélez – Photography Team Lead

Basel, Switzerland 5 – 7 June 2025

Start with your name. Easy huh? 🙃

Nilo

Tell us about your team in three words.

We take photos

If your team were a WordPress plugin, what would it do? 🤔

We would be the coolest media library addon ever

What’s the most unexpected skill you’ve used while organising WCEU? 🏄

Heavy machinery handling (although they didn’t allow me to drive it myself)

Describe your WCEU experience so far using only emojis. Add as many as you want.

🎉😬😱😂🫂💃📸🍺

What’s the funniest or most memorable moment you’ve had with your team?

Leading Matt through a supposedly empty side corridor only to find a hundred volunteers waiting to go on stage. “Hey guys, say hello to Matt!!”

If WCEU were a music festival, what would be your team’s anthem? 🪇

Queen – Don’t stop me now

What’s one thing people don’t realise about your team’s work behind the scenes? 🪁

Photo volunteers carry their own equipment, which is both expensive, heavy and fragile. If you see a photographer running, please make some space.

In the spirit of open-source collaboration, what’s the best lesson WCEU has taught you about teamwork?

WordCamps are GPL. You learn form others, make your mistakes and you pass on what works for you.

Which famous fictional character would make the best addition to your team, and why?

Dr Strange. Having magical portals could save us soooo many steps.

Convince someone in 10 words or less why they should join WCEU next year.

We have cookies! (It works for Milana)
