Greetings, WordCampers!
Every WordCamp needs its Wapuu, and WordCamp D.C. is no exception. Thanks to the talents of one of WordPress D.C.’s dedicated members—Tara Claeys—we actually have three patriotic Wapuus to serve as our exclusive mascots!
Meet Capitol Wapuu
Capitol (with an “o”, please!) Wapuu is hugging the famous dome, which recently completed a multi-year restoration project. Atop the Capitol dome is the Statue of Freedom, and it is the tallest structure in the District of Columbia.
Meet Honest Abe Wapuu
Lincoln Wapuu pays homage to our nation’s sixteenth president, with his trademark beard and top hat.
Meet D.C. Flag Wapuu
Last, but certainly not least, is D.C. Flag Wapuu, hugging the District’s colors! Officially adopted in 1938, the District of Columbia’s flag is derived from the coat of arms of George Washington and consists of three red stars above two red bars on a white field.
Of course you’ll be receiving sticker sheets at WordCamp D.C. so you can bring all of our Wapuus home with you!
But, What’s a Wapuu?
