Community Spotlight: Santa Clarita Valley, California

Posted on October 22, 2018 October 22, 2018 by raqueLandefeld

Meetups originally held at the Santa Clarita Public Library (Old Town Branch) in the southeast part of the Santa Clarita Valley in Newhall, California. As we build the WordPress Community in northern Los Angeles County, we convene at area Starbucks or Barnes & Noble. We hope to hold future meetups in the meeting facility at the College of the Canyons here in Valencia.

We offer two flavors of monthly meetups: 1) is our weeknight meetup which is geared toward our professional members (mid to advanced level); and 2) our Saturday meetup is for beginning to mid-level users but both flavors are open to all.

Our topics have ranged in all areas of the WordPress open source project for Themes, Plugins, Page Builders, Gutenberg, and more.

This post is for the amateur baristas who don’t mind elaborate processes, exact measurements, and feats of strength just to brew a fine cup of joe. Even if you brought your Aeropress (and frankly, why wouldn’t you), this post will help you find the best coffee shops during WordCamp US. Continue reading “Where to Get a Great Cup Of Coffee” →
