Returning Year After YearThe web and software community is extraordinary. People are constantly creating, and sharing, and teaching, and giving back, and it creates this platform that continues to get better every day. When I read about the opportunity through our WPNYC Meetup group to help develop the NYC WordCamp website, I thought it would be a great chance to be a bigger part of that amazing community — to be a part of the team that helps create the environment I’ve enjoyed for so long. Although the learning curve for working in the WordCamp environment was a bit challenging, the team has been stellar and I’m looking forward to our WordCamp and returning year after year. – Casey James Perno
