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

Emma Wager<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Focused, professional, imaginative<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Balance your event budget!<\/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

Perhaps this is embarrassing to admit, but I’d never used the Gutenberg block editor until I started creating WordCamp posts…<\/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

\ud83e\udd13\ud83e\udee3\ud83d\ude4c\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udcc8<\/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

Sharing photos and stories of our Christmas holidays. And I always feel cheered up after every meeting, which has got to be a good thing!<\/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

Hum, this is difficult. My choice of music would be disco so I’ll go with ‘Money, Money, Money’ by Abba. Not 100% sure my teammates would agree…!<\/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

We don’t just manage spreadsheets but also use our collective ideas to brainstorm creative ideas to help other teams save money and secure the best deals.<\/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

How important it is to listen and not make assumptions about the other person’s point of view.<\/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

Miss Moneypenny! Not only is her name ideal, but she has fabulous organisational skills and isn’t afraid to take on a challenge (in the later film versions, anyway!).<\/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

It’s great to create this event for our community!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
