I'm nervous about us improvising structured data without a robust structured data framework, and about doing it manually (thus requiring us to update it in the case of alterations, or after the fact).
I also think if we believe there's value in doing this (which we do), then we should be prioritising doing it on WordCamp events/websites (which we're not) - or even on our fancy new events website - where there's already enough structure in the data and templates that this could be relatively straightforward. Feels a bit icky to be prioritizing SOTW over grass-roots events which are arguably more important 😓
Hey 👋🏻 Thanks for the feedback.

Can you share more about that? What makes you nervous? What would you like to see in a framework?

I wasn't thinking that we'd modify it manually. Instead we'd setup the code to change the output dynamically based on whether the current time is before/after the event, and if the necessary URLs for the live stream and recording are available.

There's already a PR for that, it'll probably merge next week.

I 💯 believe that local events are much more important 👍🏻
I don't think anyone is prioritizing this, though. I just opened it because I thought it was a good idea after seeing Joost's comment, and I didn't want to forget about it.
Awesome, thanks for clarifying. Happy to help; will share some thoughts on a framework + an approach ASAP!
It could increase attendance, similar to https://github.com/WordPress/wordcamp.org/issues/1205

After the event, it could show the recording URL
