Arrived at WordCamp Contributors Day

Howdy from WordCamp US 2024 contributors day in Portland, Oregon.

It’s great seeing so many familiar faces this morning and diving right into improving the web with WordPress.

My focus today continues with exploring geo-social activity in the fediverse, and extending WordPress as an authoring tool for fediverse content.

This post is expected to include place data for Oregon Convention Center and WordCamp US like the following,

  "location": {
    "type": "Place",
    "name": "WordCamp US",
    "longitude": "-122.663228",
    "latitude": "45.528283",
    "country": "USA"
  },

It might also federate from fediverse identity @herebox.org .

Afternoon focus areas:

• Use custom fields for location details
• Consider integration paths for existing location plugins
• Discuss options for consuming place data
• Discuss options for opting in to place data
