WireFest 2027 — ProcessWire meetup in Europe?

[maximus]

Hey everyone,

We have been talking and building things together online for years, but many of us have never met in person. What if we organized a small, informal ProcessWire meetup in spring or summer 2027?

Nothing too formal — just meet each other, talk about what we are building, share ideas, maybe hack on something, eat good food, have a few beers, go bowling or play darts, and enjoy a weekend together.

English does not need to be perfect. If you do not speak it fluently, someone from your country may be able to help, and we always have Google Translate. We will find a way to understand each other, so language should not stop anyone from coming.

The location should be easy to reach from both Western and Eastern Europe, and possible for people coming from the US too. Budapest, Frankfurt or somewhere in Turkey could work, but I am open to better ideas. If we choose Turkey, at least we will have good kebabs. 🙂

And a special invitation to @AAD Web Team in Hobart: you have already taken ProcessWire to Antarctica, so maybe your next expedition can be to WireFest in Europe. 🙂

For now, I am just checking interest:

1. Would you come?
2. Which country or city would work best for you?
3. Would you prefer spring or summer?

If enough people are interested, we can make a simple poll and take it from there.

Let's see if we can make WireFest happen. 🙂

And a special invitation to @gebeer in Thailand — and of course to everyone else from Asia. It would be great to have Asia represented at WireFest too. This should be a meetup for the whole ProcessWire community, not only Europe and the US. It is a long trip, but if the timing works, we would be very happy to see you there! 🙂

A special invitation to some of the people who have built so much of the ProcessWire ecosystem through modules:

@Robin S in New Zealand — currently the #1 author in the modules directory with 80 modules; @ryan in Atlanta; @adrian in Canada; @teppo and @apeisa in Finland; @bernhard and @Mikel in Vienna; @BitPoet and @horst in Germany; @netcarver and @kongondo in the UK; and @Macrura in New York.

And also @Greg Lumley in Cape Town, together with everyone else from Africa, and @clsource in Chile, together with everyone else from South America.

You have all contributed a huge amount to ProcessWire. It would be great to meet in person, share stories, and finally put faces to the names and modules we have been using for years.

And of course, this invitation is for every other module author, contributor and community member I have not named here. Nobody is being intentionally left out. 🙂

WireFest should bring together the whole ProcessWire community, wherever people are coming from!
