Transcript of Cami's Commentary:
While strolling through the sponsor area at WordCamp US 2023 in DC, an intriguing series of events unfolded. I found myself repeatedly hearing, "Bud's looking for you," from various friends manning booths. Initially unfamiliar with Bud, my curiosity grew. Eventually, just before lunch, I finally met Bud, and we instantly clicked, becoming fast friends. It turned out we had numerous mutual acquaintances, and he was working on a special project for my friend Bob. Bud joined our group for lunch, and our conversation was nothing short of delightful; it felt like we had known each other forever.
When Bud speaks about the absence of egos in the WordPress community, I believe he's describing himself. He's undoubtedly one of the kindest individuals I've encountered at a WordCamp, and I thoroughly enjoyed our discussion.
After learning about Bud's extensive background in teaching wordpress and web design, I was thrilled when he submitted a blog post for my podcast. The WordPress community is uniquely special due to its unwavering commitment to collaboration, openness, and inclusivity. Whether through WordCamps, meetups, or online forums, members freely exchange knowledge, ideas, and resources, providing an environment of continuous learning and growth.
The WordPress community can always use more people like Bud. I'm grateful he sought me out that day at WordCamp US, and I eagerly anticipate sharing another lunch with him at a future WordCamp.
