Some other numbers from the Survey: 

  • 41 % of respondents are able to visit Naples events vs 58% located in Lee County. 
  • 54% of respondents prefer evening meetings, the other 46% are evenly distributed among Morning, Afternoon or Midday. 
  • The two top choices were: Slack Group with 37.6 % of the votes, and  Closed Facebook Group with 25%. 
  • The Survey also confirmed, what we were suspecting:  Meetup.com is not the medium of choice for most people. It only collected 20% of the votes. 

WordPress SWFL is now on Slack

Ani Carlson created a Slack workspace for our WordPress SWFL meetup and you are all invited to join us there. We would adopt the WordPress Forums guidelines also for our Slack space. TL:DR: Be helpful, be kind, don’t spam, no self-promotion, and don’t be a jerk. 

Beyond that, we can adjust as we go along using this Slack channels. 

Our Meetup group of co-organizers are also the administrators of the Slack group.
