WordCamp Asia Team is calling on everyone to submit their Wapuu design as WordCamp Asia 2027 official mascot! We invite everyone regardless of design experience to create a Wapuu that signifies unique culture of Penang, Malaysia and the spirit of WordCamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Wapuu?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a result of an idea first brought up during the WordCamp Tokyo 2009 after-party, Wapuu was created by Kaneuchi Kazuko<\/a> as an unofficial mascot for WordPress in Japan. The first Wapuu was unveiled at WordCamp Fukuoka 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, the WordPress communities all over the world have been creating their own versions of Wapuu, usually holding something that represents the local culture. They created Wapu.us<\/a>, documenting every Wapuu variation ever made, something no other open-source project really has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
