WordPress, Religion, and Events

In this episode, Samah and Michelle talk about a recent open letter to the organizers for WCEU 2025 from Shahjahan Jewel, in which he talks about WCEU 2025 coinciding with Eid al-Adha, a significant holiday for Muslims. He equates it as if WordCamp was to be held over Christmas. We discuss why honoring religious days is important, why faith should be considered when planning events, and how significant inclusion around faith is.
