Nancy Thanki is a photographer, filmmaker and Happiness Engineer at Automattic. She has spoken at WordCamp Asheville, Seattle, and Birmingham in 2014, Atlanta, Asheville, and WCUS in Philadelphia in 2015, and Atlanta, Asheville, and (will also be speaking at) WCUS in Philadelphia again in 2016.
She will be speaking on The GPL: What It Means (And What It Doesn’t) which will cover the concept and motto behind the GPL.
Key Points about the session:
While many of us are probably familiar with the GPL, there are also a number of misconceptions. It’s important, as WordPress professionals, for us to be able to talk about the GPL with our clients and coworkers – both in terms of what the GPL says and also what it doesn’t say.
The GPL is based on some extremely powerful ideas, and it is a shame that they are sometimes misunderstood. If you feel like maybe you could use a refresher or some ideas about how to explain the GPL to people you are working with, this talk is for you.
