Description
Disclaimer: Plugin development is in progress & we are constantly improving the code. If you think code can be improved or have any suggestion feel free to send a PR or open an issue.
We have created this plugin out of personal need to have quick access to list of upcoming WordCamps right from the wp-admin. Plugin displays a widget on dashboard containing the list of upcoming WordCamps with options to search, sort & navigate through list along with direct link to respective wordcamp website. Data is fetched using JSON API (from https://central.wordcamp.org/wp-json/posts?type=wordcamp) and stored in transient for better performance, which is refreshed every day to reflect new data.
Usage
