For those of you who are new to WordCamps, you might not be aware that the Japanese WordCampers have a tradition of creating a mascot for each of their WordCamp’s which is affectionately called `Wapuu`. Recently other countries have started embracing Wapuu as well. WordCamp London did a version called `Wapuunk` and he’s even made onto a shirt<\/a> in the official WordPress merch store. Wapuu even has a fan club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kristen Symonds,\u00a0(aka Kristarella<\/a>) the co-organiser of the WPSydney meetup group, co-organiser WordCamp Sydney 2014 and WordPress fanatic, found some time in-between\u00a0crocheting, knitting, being crafty, tweeting<\/a> and playing guitar to create our very own version of Wapuu! \ud83d\ude00 The Australian community voted and decided to name him `Wapuunder` (props to Peter Wilson<\/a> too for coming up with the naming suggestion).<\/p>\n

Wapuunder (pronounced wap-under<\/em>) embraces a few things from “down under”. He’s got an Akubra<\/a>\u00a0hat with corks hanging off it to keep the flies at bay, green and gold colours which Australian sporting teams love to use and also a pouch just like Australian marsupials are famous for!<\/p>\n

So without futher ado here’s Wapuunder!<\/p>\n

Thanks again Kristen for creating him \ud83d\ude42\u00a0You can also grab a pdf version of Wapuunder<\/a>\u00a0too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
