WordCamp.org

WordCamps are WordPress-focused conferences that happen in cities all around the world, and WordCamp.org has many custom tools for WordCamp organizers to facilitate their organization and communication.

Need support?

Do you have a feature request? Have an idea you want to discuss? Encountered a bug?

Please go to WordCamp.org GitHub, create a new issue, and fill out the relevant description according to the template. We encourage community members and organizers to open issues for bugs & feature requests. We go through and prioritize issues regularly.

Or you can join the #meta-wordcamp and #community-team channels in the official WordPress Slack workspace: https://make.wordpress.org/chat/

  • #meta-wordcamp channel for website & technical help, whereas the #community-team channel for organizational help.
  • If you feel something is urgent or a high priority, please feel free to ping us there.

Interested in bug fixes and feature development?

  1. Set up your local development environment.
  2. Search the WordCamp.org GitHub issue or WordCamp Project Board (by priority) to find a ticket to work on. Those with the Good First Contribution label are great if you’re new to contributing.
  3. Once you’ve finished working on the ticket, create a PR.
  4. Your PR will be reviewed by a contributor on the Meta team. They’ll either give you some feedback to improve it, or go ahead and commit it.
    • If you find that your PR isn’t getting a response, it might be because other contributors missed it, are busy, or have higher-priority tasks on hand. If you think your PR is important and worth pushing forward, just go ahead to the #meta-wordcamp channel on Slack and leave a message requesting feedback. People there are usually happy to help take a look when they see the message!

Want to propose a new feature?

The first step, before spending a lot of time on design or code, publish a proposal to make/Community P2 that describes your idea.

If you can’t create a new post, then go to the #community-team channel in Slack and ask for a deputy to give you the Author role.
Set a deadline in the post for the discussion, usually one month after posting the proposal is a good deadline.

Additionally, if your proposal isn’t fully fleshed out and is still in development, consider jotting down your ideas on GitHub Issues or in Slack to seek preliminary feedback. You might even build a simple Proof of Concept (POC) and submit a Draft PR or a Ready for Review PR for further feedback. Once your idea starts taking shape, you can present your complete proposal on the make/Community P2.

For guidance on what to do after submitting your idea, please read through the Process for Feature Design and Implementation.
