What is a Wapuu?
A member of the Japanese WordPress community, Kazuko Kaneuchi, set out to design a WordPress mascot in 2011. Her wapuu design is now the official mascot of WordPress and variations have emerged worldwide.
Meet #WCPWM18’s Wapuu
This year’s Wapuu is inspired by Maine native Stephen King’s novel and the relaunch of the hit movie IT.
WordCamp Portland, ME organizer Stephen Quirk created the version above for this year’s event. In previous years, we’ve featured a fisher and prey wapuu as well as a lumberjack wapuu.
When this year’s collection of Wapuu’s are not haunting the sewers, hallways and hiding under your bed, you’ll find them at WordCamp Portland, ME – which is where you should be too! Get your tickets here.
