去年的志工夥伴中,有家庭事業兩頭燒的媽媽、自由業的接案工程師、白天還要全職上班的爸爸、身兼多職的行銷人員等等,各種性別、國籍、身分的人都有,不論大家原本的生活多麼忙碌、分處於台灣的各個角落,大家都很努力克服時間與空間的限制,一起為共同的目標而努力,最後的舉辦成果,著實讓人感到驕傲與感動。

讓我們來看看去年還有哪些志工吧!


HaWay 副總召

從 2018 年加入 WordCamp Taipei 志工之後,每次網站有問題就可以找網站醫生、行銷有問題可以問行銷大師、資安有問題去個小聚就解決、賣東西有策略顧問、找主題有帶路人、想做電商有教學、找外掛私私問很快、翻譯有手把手教學、程式不怕沒人寫、設計都是友情價,加入志工之後,我的人生不成功真的很難!

Erin Lin 議程組

還記得去年的籌備過程中,很特別的是,有很多機會可以和導師們、還有 WordPress Central 的夥伴視訊開會,有種國際村的感覺,雖然大家講著不同的語言,每個人的英文程度也不一定都很好,但是我們還是可以找到方法克服,最後都可以達到溝通的目的,21世紀了,就算不能口出第二語言,也能秒出翻譯啊!

另外一個最大的收獲是,和議程組的夥伴們變成比較熟的朋友,因為常常在群組裡傳訊,有時候聊聊 WordCamp 的事、有時候問問 WordPress 的事、有時候聊無聊的八卦和時事,多了這些好朋友,在自己學習 WordPress 的過程當中,變得很有伴、不孤單!

Eric Chuang 議程組

最早開始接觸 WordPress 社群是在 2017/11 的台北小聚,在參與幾次後,得知有 WordCamp 這種大型的活動。由於大學時期喜歡參與活動籌畫,因此毫不猶豫地跳了下去。

參與籌辦這樣的活動,對於擁有正職的大多數人而言,並不是一件簡單的事。雖然初期大家都是抱持著對社群的熱忱,投入活動的籌劃,但是實際上開始進行後,才發現會有許多溝通上的困難點,不論是會議時間喬不攏,或者是每個人因為個人工作排程,導致沒有辦法在時程上跟上進度。我自己也曾經好幾次因為工作的關係,延遲了自己議程組聯繫上的進度。

但是也感謝當時同組的 Yuli、Erin、HaWay 與阿竣等人,在我自己因為部分個人因素沒辦法跟上進度的時候,從旁提醒,甚至直接跳下來協助。在 WordCamp 2018 中最大的收穫,除了可以接觸到國外講者外,也因為認識了社群的夥伴,後續也增加了更多不同業界的經驗與資訊。

HaWay – the vice organizer of WordCamp Taipei 2018

Since I became a volunteer of WordCamp Taipei 2018, everything has been going well! When I faced website problems, there are website experts to help me solve them. When I had questions about marketing, marketing specialists could give me suggests. When I encountered an information security problem, people in WordPress meetup could deal with it. I could contact strategy consultant if I want to sell products. I could ask people to recommend the WordPress themes or plugins. I could learn eCommerce. I could easily find translators, engineers and designers. It’s all because I became a volunteer of WordCamp!

Erin Lin – speakers team volunteer

It’s very exciting that I could get the chance to have video con-calls with WordPress mentors and the partners from WordPress Central. It made me feel like we’re living together in a global village. Although we spoke in different languages, and not everyone spoke proficient English, but we still could find a way to communicate with each other. It’ 21st century, even if you were not able to speak in a second language, you could utilize the technology to translate it!

I also made new friends with volunteers from speakers team. We talked and chatted a lot with each other, discussing about WordCamp, WordPress or even gossips and current events. On my WordPress learning journey, I never felt lonely because of these friends for company!

Eric Chuang – speakers team volunteer

The first-ever WordPress community I had joined in was Taipei WordPress meetup in November 2017. After several times attending the meetups, I learned about that there was an international WordPress event called WordCamp. Then I became the volunteer of WordCamp Taipei without hesitation due to the experiences and passion for event planning during my college life.

It’s not easy for people who had a full-time job also help organize the event. Although each volunteer joined in because of passion, there were many difficulties when communicating and collaborating with each other after we started planning the event. For example, deciding the meeting time or catching up the working schedule. My task to contact the speakers was behind schedule due to being buried with work. 

However, I was grateful to have partners such as Yuli, Erin, HaWay and Chun, to remind me or even help me keep up with the schedule. The biggest reward in organizing WordCamp 2018 was that not only I could get in touch with global speakers but also make new friends with people from WordPress community and at the same time learn many kinds of industry experiences.
