Bio

Global Citizen Community Facilitator and “Solopreneur” enjoying WordPress – Science/Environment – Peace – Evolution – Humanism – Authentic people – Kindness. I’d love to help everyone get their voice heard and promote global peace. → https://patriciabt.com/

I love to give back to WordPress and contribute whenever I can. For example, being a co-organiser of the monthly WP meetups in Geneva, and often a co-organiser in WordCamps in Switzerland, I also like to volunteer/speak/(micro)sponsor in nearby WordCamps.

I recently bumbed up the number of hours I contribute, it’s now about 1,5 day per week.
I’m not sponsored and might be in the future when I will establish my LLC and dedicate working hours to WP contribution

Currently (end of 2023)

– Contributing to the Community team
— organising meetups and WC in Switzerland, help revive some meetup groups
— part of the organising team for WCEU2024
— event-supporter for other WordCamps
— I might take part to the next cohort of the Contribution Mentorship program
— act as a “bridge person” between local (Switzerland/France) and global teams, and between other topics/groups among the community

– Contributing to the Sustainability team:
— take part in meetings
— bring back the topics of sustainability to local Swiss community (meetups and upcoming WC)

– Contributing to the DEIB (not a formal team for now)
— take part in meetings
— bring back the topics of DEIB to the local Swiss community (meetups and upcoming WC)

WordPress Origin Story

After working with another CMS with which every update was breaking something, I discover that with WordPress, it just worked without the need to dive in the code… perfect for me: I’m neither a dev nor a designer and I love to use the existing tools from the huge community ♥ I’m often called a problem solver and connector

Contributions

Patricia BT contributes 12 hours per week to the following teams: Community and Sustainability.
