**About**

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.

**Features coming in v1.0**

 1. Option to refresh data
 2. Re-write plugin code
 2. Improve data fetching
 3. Creating shortcode to display wordcamp list anywhere on website front-end 
 4. Option to filter WordCamps based on users location/country
 5. localization
