Be sure to visit all of our sponsors at the event and thank them for their support!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">WordPress is the most widely used open source content management system in the world and WordCamp events bring together WordPress users all over the World. This is an amazing community, in which \u00a0OnTheGoSystems loves to play an active part by supporting it as it grows. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At these events, people come to share and you won&#8217;t believe what you can learn! You can have a coffee and talk with a great developer, an agency owner or just a WordPress beginner, it doesn&#8217;t matter, everyone is there to share.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We have opportunities to meet with actual clients using our plugins, especially WPML, who like to share their experiences with us. It\u2019s awesome to hear users thanking us for our products and how their lives were saved!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Two \u00a0members of our company attended WordCamp London in April 2016 where they met one of the co-founders of WordPress. \u00a0We discovered that he <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">not only uses our plugin Toolset but he also teaches Toolset in his advanced WP class!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a global company, with 79 members in 35 different countries, our team members are encouraged and supported to take part in WordPress related events throughout the \u00a0world and not only by attending and speaking in WordCamps. We also organize meet-ups, contribute to the core and help with support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/2016.minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog.png\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2611\" src=\"https:\/\/2016.minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog-1024x682.png\" alt=\"wpml-blog\" width=\"625\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog-1024x682.png 1024w, https:\/\/minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog-451x300.png 451w, https:\/\/minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog-624x415.png 624w, https:\/\/minneapolis.wordcamp.org\/2016\/files\/2016\/04\/wpml-blog.png 1556w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here you can find some examples of the activity done by some of our OnTheGoSystems people::<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/bornforphp\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/bornforphp\/<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/jennypl\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/jennypl<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/jmilczarek#content-activity\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/jmilczarek<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/jadpm\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/jadpm<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/codex-m\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/codex-m<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/5um17\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/5um17<br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/kouratoras\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/profiles.wordpress.org\/kouratoras<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The last 4 have been core contributors in the WordPress 4.5 release.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the list goes on\u2026 \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since we all make our living out of WordPress, WordPress has a big impact on our work. \u00a0WPML and Toolset plugins run on WordPress. \u00a0Also our translation service, ICanLocalize, offers translations for WordPress sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re 79 people constantly working to improve our products and support with the aim of making users\u2019 \u00a0lives easier with each release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There&#8217;s a good vibe in the WordPress community, which we love. \u00a0People are not only into what they can gain out of the community but also what they can give or share with everybody else. \u00a0The WordPress community has an open-minded spirit and is eager to help and share knowledge. Everyone is treated the same.
