WordPress wouldn’t exist without the support of its global community of talented contributors, outspoken advocates, and enthusiastic users. Gatherings like WordCamp US are great for bringing all of these people together under one roof.

But when you’re at a massive event like WCUS, it’s hard to know how the thousands of people around you are involved with WordPress. Are they users? Contributors? Designers? Developers?

Wouldn’t it be great to know at a glance?

Introducing new Wapuu collector pins for #WCUS

WordCamp US Wapuu Collector Pins

Wear your contributions on your sleeve. Or lapel. Or backpack. (Or hat. Or lanyard. Or wherever else you’d like to pin ‘em!)

We’ve teamed up with the talented Michelle Schulp to create a set of eight original Wapuu collector pins, each representing a different aspect of the WordPress community. (If you attended WordCamp US last year, you might recognize the inaugural WCUS collector coins, which were also designed by Michelle.)

Wapuu collector pin for Design and UI

The Design & UI pin recognizes the people who make WordPress beautiful and usable, including WordPress core, themes, and individual websites.

You don’t need to be an accessibility expert or core contributor to focus on a11y - building accessible websites and publishing accessible content with WordPress is just as important.

Whether it’s in person at a WordCamp Happiness Bar, in online groups like WordPress Hosting and Advanced WordPress on Facebook, or WordPress Development on Stack Exchange.
Wapuu collector pin for TrainingDo you remember how you learned how to use or build onto WordPress? It was surely someone who created instructional content or taught a class or spoke at an event. We’re commending those educators, teachers, trainers, helpers, and mentors with a pin of their own.
