WordCamp Europe 2023 contributor day is going to take place on 8 June.
We recommend checking this blog if you are attending WordCamp Europe and planning to join the themes table on the contributor day. Also, share this blog those who want to join the themes table will have a basic idea of the themes table.
On this contributor day, we are not just reviewing the theme, we are also planning to work on community themes, themes handbook updates, and block themes-related discussions.
If you are not able to attend physically, you can still contribute online. Join #contributor-day channel and you can ask for guidance on how to contribute.
Even if you are attending WordCamp contributor day for the first time, you can join the Themes table and learn and contribute to WordPress. @poena and @onemaggie will lead the themes table. They will guide and instruct you about contribution.
Things to consider if you are going to join the themes table:
- Familiarity with WordPress. Having a good understanding of WordPress and its themes is essential.
- Make sure you have a WordPress.org account. If you don’t have one, create your account here. This account is needed to access the WordPress theme repository, contribute to discussions, and submit themes for review.
- Set up a local development environment with WordPress installed. This allows you to test themes, make changes, and contribute more effectively.
- It is recommended to have a GitHub account and knowledge of version control systems, such as Git, is valuable. Understanding how to use version control helps with collaborating on theme development and submitting changes for review.
- Code Editor like Sublime Text, VS Code Editor, etc.
