In another life before he discovered WordPress, Bob ran a marketing company, but now his endeavours are all about WordPress.
He’s been using WordPress since 2006, WooCommerce since 2011, and has been podcasting since 2014. If you’ve been using WordPress for any length of time, and you’ve been consuming content in the ecosystem, it’s highly likely that you’ve come across Bob before. Listen to find out how it's all going to work. The WPCC wants to act as a go between for companies or organisations who are willing to spend money improving WordPress, and the individuals who can implement those improvements. There’s nothing wrong with this model, but what about the capable, willing volunteers who are not in this position? The people who have the skills and motivation to contribute, but not the time or finances to make that a reality. Often contributors are sponsored by the companies that they work for, either part time or full time. Most are not in a position to donate their time completely freely they have to put food on the table. But we all have to earn money at some point. People give up their time and expertise to contribute towards the project, and in this way make it free to download and use. WordPress is built on top of a dedicated base of volunteers. The WPCC is a non-profit that is hoping to fund contributors to the WordPress project.
On the podcast today, we have Sé Reed and Courtney Robertson, and they’re here to talk about the WP Community Collective, or WPCC for short.
