Once again, things happened at lightning speed: many presentations, impressions and information were posted online during WordCamp Frankfurt. We have summarized all the content we could find so far here.
Unfortunately, the timing was not ideal for us this time. There was too much to do around our investor acquisition. Thanks to many tweets under the hashtag #wcfra and many reviews, recaps and experience reports on WordCamp Frankfurt 2016, we can present an overview of impressions, presentations and information from the community here.
I will update this post regularly so that you always have the latest information about WordCamp.
Update: Since I put the article online yesterday, many blog posts and presentations have been added. So the list is already a lot longer than it was 24 hours ago.
Impressions from WordCamp Frankfurt 2016
Florian Ziegler has an impressive collection of images on flickr. Among them are several WordCamps. WordCamp Frankfurt 2016 is his latest project and captures the atmosphere in black and white. By the way, our favorite picture is the one of our colleague Caspar Hübinger, aka @glueckpress. We think it captures his passion for WordPress in a very special way.
They were one of the highlights at WordCamp Frankfurt 2016 and have therefore been given their very own blog post by their owner: The French Bulldogs Jasper, Duke & Indra. The experience report from a dog's perspective can be found here.
Alain Schlesser celebrated two firsts at WordCamp Frankfurt: his first time as a volunteer and his first time as a speaker. He describes both experiences in detail in his private blog.
Sessions and presentations from WordCamp Frankfurt 2016
Many speakers have already made their slide decks available during the WordCamp!
Where are the Core Contributors?
Felix Anrtz, aka @felixarntz, asks in his talk where all the core contributors have gone. Based on a Twitter survey, he has identified the most important barriers to engagement in WordPress core development: lack of direction, not enough time and frustration.
Join in - Participate - Give back
Thomas Brühl, aka @00Sleepy, expands on the topic of active engagement and in his talk looks at the options available to every WordPress user to get involved. Regardless of whether they have programming skills or not. Thomas shows the different groups and entry points into the WP Contributor world.
Myth child plugins
Bernhard Kau, aka @2ndKauBoy, has dealt with the question of how you can actually customize plugins to your own requirements.
Remote working for WordPress businesses
Petya Raykovska, aka @petyeah, one of the organizers of WordCamp Europe 2016, has already put her slide deck on remote working for WordPress companies online. She reveals tips for the right organization and describes her own experiences.
Scale WordPress
Always a big topic: How can I scale my WordPress site correctly? Stefan Kremer, aka @WPAberSicher, shows how it works with Amazon S3.
WordPress in German
5 percent of WordPress installations are in German. This puts German in third place behind English and, surprisingly for me, Japanese. Bego Mario Garde, aka @pixolin, has summarized the current state of WordPress in German.
WordPress, data protection and CO
Preator Intermedia has dealt with a particularly important and obscure topic: The legal obligations of a website operator.
Our code must become more beautiful!
Alain Schlesser recently made the slides of his talk on "The Secret Sauce For Writing Reusable Code" available. In his presentation, he focuses on the question of how code must be designed so that it can be reused particularly easily.
WordPress with React - More than a marriage of convenience?
The slides for Paul Vincent Beigang's presentation are now also available on Slideshare.
Lectures in even more beautiful
Once again, scribbles were made of the presentations. Nicole Lücking, aka @photostroller, has given the presentations a very special touch. A very nice way to get a quick overview of the core topics of a presentation. You can find all Skribbels in her Twitter feed. Nicole has also summarized her own impressions of WordCamp Frankfurt 2016 in her personal blog.
Incidentally, this one is currently my favorite. Because it shows a problem that is particularly relevant in our field of activity: The correct handling of WordPress updates. The presentation by Marc Nilius, aka @WPSicherheit, can be found here.
Note: The cover picture is also by Florian Ziegler and can be found in his fantastic album for WordCamp Frankfurt 2016 🙂
