WordCamp Sofia 2024

~ Veselin ~ 3 Comments

I joined WordCamp Sofia 2024 this weekend by responding to the call for organizers.

WordCamp Sofia will be held on 24th of November in Sofia Tech Park.

I’ve been out of touch with the local community for years. My last WordCamp where I was part of the team was WordCamp Europe 2018 in Belgrade. Wanted to do Varna 2019 but it was cancelled due to Covid, and never returned to the WordCamp work after that. Sadly, I even missed the WCEU in Athens, which is reachable by car from Sofia.

I’m thankful that the organizers welcomed me to the team. I hope I didn’t forget how this type of work is done and will be able to help. It’s been awhile.

Facebook just reminded me that WordCamp Europe in Sofia took place 10 years ago. Many great memories came back to me. As a member of the local team, I spent many hours per day in my car during the weeks leading up to the event, handling all sorts of errands—printing t-shirts, badges, stickers, sponsor deliveries, and such. I stepped in dog poop while collecting speakers from the airport. My car smelled terrible, and I had no idea why. Brrr!

These t-shirts were unusually good I shipped the same to either Seville or Vienna.
