Who staffs the Happiness Bar?
Volunteers. Everything that happens at WordCamp happens because of volunteers. From the organizers to the speakers to the people at the registration table to the Happiness Bar exists because of volunteers. As such, not every volunteer may be able to solve every issue. If they can’t… they can usually direct you to someone or resources who can.
Sometimes our speakers will head to the Happiness Bar after their talks, too. So if you want to “continue the conversation”, that’s a great place to be.
Why go to the Happiness Bar?
Whether you have a question you need answered, code that needs to be reviewed or an issue you just can’t figure out, this is the place to be. Come and ask questions, answer questions and meet new friends. If it’s a WordPress question, you can ask it at the Happiness Bar!
Please note: Not all problems can be solved quickly and easily. Although the Happiness Bar is a place to get you going in the right direction, you might need to continue the conversation after WordCamp. And, not to disappoint you, but that might cost money. Volunteers will do their best to help you as much as possible during the weekend, but sometimes, you just need a professional.
