WordPress Social Learning

Join us for the last Social Learning Space for 2021!

Ever wondered about what the bandwagon around "Open source" is all about? What makes open source software special? What are the different open source licenses? What is GPL and what are its advantages? How does open source apply to a content management system like WordPress? What open source guidelines should one keep in mind while using WordPress?

Come, join us on a Social Learning Space on the topic: Introduction to Open Source to find answers to all these questions!

This event is happening on Friday, December 31, 2021, at 05:00 UTC (10.30 AM India Standard Time/1:00 PM Singapore time/2:00 PM Japan time/4:00 PM Sydney time/6:00 PM New Zealand time).

This Social Learning Space will be based on the following Learn WordPress workshop: http://wayback.fauppsala.se:80/wayback/20211230154356/https://learn.wordpress.org/workshop/introduction-to-open-source/ You do not need to watch it to attend, but doing so will give you some good inputs on our discussion and will help you be prepared.

Even if you are brand new to open-source and WordPress, you are welcome to participate! Bring your questions, thoughts, and comments to a fun and interactive learning space for all things Open source!

Have you ever wondered what a "local" installation of WordPress means?

Have you ever wanted to experiment with WordPress on your computer--without having it immediately go live for all the world to see?

Do you want to explore the different options you have to set up WordPress locally on your computer?

If so, this workshop on Local WordPress Installation is for you!

This is a BEGINNER LEVEL workshop where we will explore four different methods of installing WordPress on your local machine together--no hosting required!

Bring your existing knowledge of WordPress and prepare to learn, discuss, and share your experiences as we learn together how to set up a local installation of a WordPress database.
