Proposal: Pilot program to test GatherPress on the WordPress.org network as a Meetup alternative
Introduction We propose a pilot program to test GatherPress, a community-developed plugin, within interested and active WordPress meetup groups. This initiative stems from our community’s need for an innovative event management tool tailored to the unique demands of WordPress event organizers and participants. The pilot program would be held in real-world conditions with WordPress Meetup groups. We have expressed commitments to a trial run from New Jersey and Nashville groups in the USA, French-speaking groups in Switzerland, and potential interest from groups in Spain, Japan as well as from learn.wordpress.org. Overview of GatherPress GatherPress, led by @mauteri and @hrmervin, is a plugin designed with functionalities akin to Meetup.com, but specifically crafted for the WordPress community by members of the WordPress community. It is the result of the WordPress community’s desire for new event management tools that meet the diverse needs of event organizers and members.

We welcome everyone to comment here, to test GatherPress (also for accessibility) or join the GatherPress weekly huddles, Slack channel or even the team.
