Wir haben das erste \u00fcberregionale WordCamp Deutschland in der malerischen Stadt Gerolstein veranstaltet. Danke an alle, die teilgenommen und dieses Event zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht haben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Die Reise nach Gerolstein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Idee f\u00fcr ein \u00fcberregionales WordCamp Deutschland wurde w\u00e4hrend des WordCamp Europe 2022 in Porto geboren, mit der Absicht, die deutschsprachige WordPress-Community nach den Herausforderungen der Pandemie wiederzubeleben. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Urspr\u00fcnglich war M\u00fcnchen als Austragungsort vorgesehen, aber aufgrund logistischer Herausforderungen und sehr hohen Preisen wurde die Idee verworfen und eine neue Location f\u00fcr die Austragung des ersten \u00fcberregionalen WordCamp Deutschland gesucht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/image.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of a Twitter message\" class=\"wp-image-3148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/image.jpg 606w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/image-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>F\u00fcndig wurden wir in der beschaulichen Kleinstadt Gerolstein in der Vulkaneifel. Dank der guten lokalen Vernetzung von Co-Lead-Organizer Birgit konnten wir die Stadthalle g\u00fcnstig anmieten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trotz der weniger idealen \u00d6PNV-Situation haben viele von euch den Weg gefunden, und daf\u00fcr sind wir sehr dankbar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zahlen, Fakten und Rekorde<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Von 277 Personen, die ein Ticket erhalten haben, wurden 234 als teilgenommen gelistet, die auch pers\u00f6nlich anwesend waren. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Am Contributor Day haben 126 Personen vor Ort teilgenommen. Rekord: Bisher die h\u00f6chste Anzahl von Teilnehmenden an einem Contributor Day in Deutschland! Das fanden wir vom Orga-Team \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigend gut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day.jpeg\" alt=\"eine Gruppe Menschen mit fr\u00f6hlichen Gesichtern und in die H\u00f6he gestreckte Arme \" class=\"wp-image-3165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day.jpeg 799w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day-450x300.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gruppenfoto vom Contributor Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Von vier angebotenen Shuttle-Fahrten wurden letztendlich Pl\u00e4tze in drei Fahrten verbindlich gebucht. 17 Personen haben den Shuttle-Service am Mittwochnachmittag von K\u00f6ln nach Gerolstein genutzt, f\u00fcnf Personen am Samstagabend und 18 Personen am Sonntagvormittag zur\u00fcck nach K\u00f6ln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Ratio bei der Geschlechteraufteilung unter Speakern und Speakerinnen war nahezu 50\/50. Es waren unterschiedliche Altersgruppen von 19 Jahre jung bis \u00fcber 60 Jahre untern den Teilnehmenden vertreten. Wir hatten Teilnehmende nicht nur aus Deutschland, \u00d6sterreich und der Schweiz, sondern auch (sofern bekannt) aus Bulgarien, Spanien, Finnland, die Niederlande und Belgien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diversit\u00e4t, Chancengleichheit und Inklusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unser Engagement f\u00fcr Diversit\u00e4t und Inklusion spiegelte sich in der sorgf\u00e4ltigen Planung und Durchf\u00fchrung des WordCamps wider. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Der Auswahlprozess der Speaker:innen wurde in der ersten Runde ausschlie\u00dflich auf Grundlage der Talk-Titel und -Beschreibungen durchgef\u00fchrt, ohne R\u00fcckschluss auf die Speaker:innen selbst. In der zweiten Auswahlrunde wurden erst die Namen erg\u00e4nzt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unser Content-Team hat sich Ziele gesetzt, um ein gut balanciertes Programm zusammenzustellen. Nicht nur ausgewogene Geschlechtsidentit\u00e4t im Speaker-Line-up, sondern auch eine gute Mischung an deutschsprachigen und englischsprachigen Sessions, aber auch eine Mischung von erfahrenen Speaker:innen und erstmalige Speaker:innen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bei der kulinarischen Versorgung haben wir besonders darauf geachtet, auch f\u00fcr Personen mit Nahrungsmittelunvertr\u00e4glichkeiten eine solide Auswahl bereit zu stellen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Um die nicht so ideale Bahnanbindung f\u00fcr die Strecke K\u00f6ln-Gerolstein abzumildern, haben wir einen Bus gechartert, womit Teilnehmende zu definierten Uhrzeiten vom Hauptbahnhof in K\u00f6ln nach Gerolstein ohne Zwischenstop anreisen konnten und am Wochenende zum Ende der Veranstaltung wieder zur\u00fcck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3149\" style=\"width:851px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WordCamp Shuttle \u2013 Photo: Dominik Schilling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Programm-Highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Die Sessions und Workshops waren erkenntnisreich und deckten eine breite Palette von Themen ab.

Es wurden nur Dienstleister aus der Region engagiert, die wiederum die Zutaten \u00fcberwiegend regional bezogen haben. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Es wurde wiederverwendbares Geschirr und Besteck verwendet, Getr\u00e4nke wurden in Mehrwegflaschen angeboten, sowie Getr\u00e4nkespender zum Auff\u00fcllen mitgebrachter Trinkgef\u00e4\u00dfe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00dcbrig gebliebene Speisereste wurden in einer lokalen Biogasanlage wiederverwertet, was ein kleiner, aber wichtiger Schritt in Richtung eines umweltfreundlicheren Events war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bild und Ton<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Die aufgezeichneten Talks sind nun auf <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.tv\/event\/wordcamp-germany-2023\/\">WordPress.tv<\/a> verf\u00fcgbar, und die Event-Fotos k\u00f6nnen auf Flickr angesehen werden.

We hosted the first national WordCamp Germany in the picturesque town of Gerolstein. Thanks to everyone who participated and made this event an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The journey to Gerolstein<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea for a supra-regional WordCamp Germany was born during WordCamp Europe 2022 in Porto, with the intention of revitalizing the German-speaking WordPress community after the challenges of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally, Munich was planned to host the event, but due to logistical challenges and very high prices, the idea was scrapped and a new location was sought to host the first supra-regional WordCamp Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"735\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/image.jpg\" alt=\"Screenshot of a Twitter message\" class=\"wp-image-3148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/image.jpg 606w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/image-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We found what we were looking for in the tranquil little town of Gerolstein in the Volcanic Eifel. Thanks to the good local network of co-lead organizer Birgit, we were able to rent the town hall at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the less than ideal public transport situation, many of you found your way, and for that we are very grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facts, figures and records<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of 277 people who received a ticket, 234 were listed as having attended and were present in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Contributor Day, 126 people participated on-site. Record: the highest number of participants at a Contributor Day in Germany so far! We from the Orga team found this overwhelmingly good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"799\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day.jpeg\" alt=\"eine Gruppe Menschen mit fr\u00f6hlichen Gesichtern und in die H\u00f6he gestreckte Arme \" class=\"wp-image-3165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day.jpeg 799w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/gruppenfoto-contributor-day-450x300.jpeg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 799px) 100vw, 799px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Groupphoto from Contributor Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of four offered shuttle rides, seats in three rides were finally booked bindingly. 17 people used the shuttle service on Wednesday afternoon from Cologne to Gerolstein, five people on Saturday evening and 18 people on Sunday morning back to Cologne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The gender ratio among the speakers was almost 50\/50 and there were different age groups from 19 years young to over 60 years old among the participants. We had participants not only from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, but also (if known) from Bulgaria, Spain, Finland, the Netherlands and Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our commitment to diversity and inclusion was reflected in the careful planning and execution of the WordCamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first round, the speaker selection process was based solely on the talk titles and descriptions, with no drawing conclusions about the speakers themselves. In the second round of selection, the names were added first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our content team set goals to put together a well-balanced program. Not only a balanced gender identity in the speaker line-up, but also a good mix of German and English language sessions, and a mix of experienced speakers and first-time speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of culinary catering, we have taken special care to provide a solid selection also for people with food intolerances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mitigate the less than ideal rail connection for the Cologne-Gerolstein route, we chartered a bus so that participants could travel at defined times from the main train station in Cologne to Gerolstein without a stopover and back again at the end of the event on the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3149\" style=\"width:851px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/germany.wordcamp.org\/2023\/files\/2023\/10\/PHOTO-2023-10-18-16-49-21.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">WordCamp Shuttle \u2013 Photo: Dominik Schilling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Program highlights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The sessions and workshops were insightful and covered a wide range of topics.
