Start with your name. Easy huh? \ud83d\ude43<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell us about your team in three words.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oversight, Collaboration, Supportive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your team were a WordPress plugin, what would it do? \ud83e\udd14<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be a dashboard, with information feeding in from different areas of the website and organisation, presenting the progress against all of the spinning plates<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the most unexpected skill you\u2019ve used while organising WCEU? \ud83c\udfc4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Duct-taping a unicorn back together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe your WCEU experience so far using only emojis. Add as many as you want.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2708\ufe0f\ud83e\uddc0\ud83c\udf77\ud83c\udfe2\ud83e\udd21\ud83e\udd1d\ud83e\udd17\ud83c\udde8\ud83c\udded<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the funniest or most memorable moment you\u2019ve had with your team?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we went on the first site visit back in August, we were lucky to travel with the local lead and production pool for some needed down time for the day to a French town named Colmar – we got around a table, had drinks and chatted for ages it was great to socialise together and make plans for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If WCEU were a music festival, what would be your team’s anthem? \ud83e\ude87<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darude – Sandstorm: High energy and excitement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s one thing people don\u2019t realise about your team\u2019s work behind the scenes? \ud83e\ude81<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot of people don’t realise the time, effort and experience which go into bringing an event like WCEU together. A lot of people may not be familiar with project management, they don’t know what happens behind the scenes – or the months of planning which come together to support the community for three amazing days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of open-source collaboration, what\u2019s the best lesson WCEU has taught you about teamwork?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connections and Networking. The opportunity to informally chat and socialise with the team is invaluable to understand people’s backgrounds, skills and experience – and then harness and expand on these to produce an amazing collaborative event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which famous fictional character would make the best addition to your team, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some wizard who can see everything that is going on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convince someone in 10 words or less why they should join WCEU next year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WCEU is more than an event. It’s an amazing family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
