Cami lives, works, and parents in the rainy city of Portland, Oregon. She’s had a love of WordPress and WordCamps since the last century, when she happened to stumble upon the first WordCamp Portland. Since 2013, she has worked at Automattic, as a community organizer for the WordPress open source project. In that role, she gets to work with WordCamps and their organizers from around the world, every day. She continues to write on an irregular basis at camikaos.com where she explores concepts from the plight of modern parents to mental health to marveling at the seemingly mundane. Cami is active on a number of social platforms but can be most readily found as @camikaos on Twitter.
Cami will be speaking at 9:00am on Saturday, July 13th in the Parliament room. Her talk is entitled, There’s a Person at the End of this Project!
Taking lessons from lovable furry old Grover of Sesame Street fame we’ll explore methods for civil and constructive communication within open source projects, on social media, and for remote workers. It’s a playful look at how tone and context impacts the people we work with and share our internet and world with everyday.
