Community Team at Contributor Day

Contributor Day is one of the most welcoming and energizing parts of any WordCamp. It’s a dedicated day for attendees to contribute to the WordPress open-source project by joining one of the many Make WordPress teams.

For the Community Team, Contributor Day is a chance to:

  • welcome new contributors,
  • reconnect with existing contributors,
  • support community organizers,
  • improve resources and documentation,
  • discuss community programs and processes,
  • and work together on initiatives that help WordPress communities thrive worldwide.

If you are new to Contributor Day, don’t worry; you do not need prior experience to join. The Community Team table is a great place to learn how the team works, what kinds of contributions are possible, and how your skills or interests can help support local communities.
