Attending a contributor day is a chance for attendees to contribute to WordPress, collaborate with new and existing contributors, and learn about the different ways to get involved in the WordPress.org project. 

Contributor Day is for everyone. A variety of skills are needed, and all skills and levels of experience are welcome.

When and What time is Contributor Day ?

Contributor Day for WordCamp India 2021, will be held on 6th and 7th  February 2021 at 1pm to 5pm IST (7:30 am to 11:30 am UTC).

It will be held online via Zoom.

Am I good enough to contribute?

Short answer, Yes!

You do not need to be a programmer or designer yet to contribute to WordPress.

The WordPress project is made up of a number of teams working on areas from code to design, from marketing to community building and more. Look at all the teams here.

How do I join Contributor Day?

The single WordCamp India ticket will cover links and information for three weekends of WordCamp India 2021. All our tickets are free! 

If you do not have your tickets booked already – please book them quickly.

Before the event day, you will receive an email with all the information you will need to take part, including links to the Slack channels and Zoom meetings for each team.

How will my skills help on the day?

Contributor Day is for everyone. A variety of skills are needed, and all skills are welcome.

A WordPress contributor event is not like a job interview or workplace and does not have the associated pressure. It is a friendly and supportive environment, with a shared vision to develop and maintain the WordPress open-source project.

All levels of experience and expertise across a range of areas – including but not only development – are essential for diversifying open source projects. It is the best way to ensure WordPress is useful to as many people as possible and can be used by everyone.

WordCamp India 2021 will have a two-day long Contributor Day event on the 6th & 7th of February 2021, where participants can give back to the amazing WordPress community by contributing to the project.

Contributor Days are for everyone, regardless of their experience with WordPress. Attendees break up into different teams and each team focuses on contributing to a particular segment of WordPress.

There are many ways of giving back to WordPress, some of them are:

  • Translating WordPress to regional languages so more people who don’t speak English can benefit from the software.
  • Providing support to users on WordPress.org’s Support Forum.
  • Reviewing themes before they get pushed on WordPress.org’s Theme Directory.
  • Contributing code to the WordPress core.
  • And many, many more!

By being a contributor day team facilitator for a Make WordPress team at WordCamp India, you get to facilitate the efforts of a contribution team (consisting of other contributors) and help in giving back to the WordPress project. By facilitating a contributor day team, you get to learn and showcase your Project management skills. It is also one of the coolest ways to give back to the WordPress project!
