Is WordCamp an overnight event somewhere outdoors?
The name “Camp” does not mean “encampment” in the common sense of the word, but was originally a reference to another event called BarCamp, which was first held in San Francisco in 2006. Anyone who is interested in WordPress or loves WordPress is welcome, regardless of their skill level.
