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

Publishing a first attempt at a federated post from @[email protected] to facilitate FediForum session titled “WordPress as Content Authoring Tool for Fediverse” FediForum conference running on open space technology .

This session is intended to support additional discussion specific to adding social location data into Fediverse content, with potential to use WordPress as an example authoring tool.

Federation of this post made possible by WordPress activitypub plugin authored by @[email protected] . I hope to be working on extending these tools at WordCamp USA contributor day next Tuesday in Portland, Oregon.
