By approaching networking with a mentality of service, you will show that you’re just as interested in helping as being helped

In + out of WordPress & Slacking off + on

I joined https://wordpress.slack.com a while back, mainly because apparently all of the cool WordPress people are there, using it, etc. 😎

Funny thing is: First + foremost the people who show up on the channel dedicated to help & support with using the WP Slack instance are people with help + support questions about WordPress! 😯

Then again, perhaps it isn’t quite as weird as it seems.

While I was leading the Linking together the WordPress community discussion (at WP Cafe in Berlin during the WCEU / Wordcamp Europe conference), I was amazed that most of the discussion participants were concerned with current condition of communications within the “developer” portion of the WordPress community.

It seems like there is much confusion about “community“… — throughout the WordPress community?
