This year, we focus on expanding our reach, enhancing our support systems, and tackling the challenges of a growing community.

What’s Contributor Day?

Think of Contributor Day as a jam session for WordPress enthusiasts—only instead of music, we’re creating the future of WordPress. Whether you’re a seasoned contributor or just dipping your toes, there’s a spot for you. Coding, translating, documenting, or brainstorming marketing strategies—it’s all about teamwork.

First-time contributor? No stress. Experienced contributors will guide you, like that helpful friend who knows where the best chhole bhature in Delhi is.

Schedule: When tea meets the contribution

    • Registration and networking time. Grab a chai, find your squad, and get the energy flowing!

  • 01:00 PM: Group photo
  • 01:15 PM: Lunch
  • 02:15 PM: The power of collaboration: Becoming a valuable member of the WordPress community
    • This talk aims to inform attendees about the benefits and joys of being a part of the WordPress community.
  • 02:30 PM: Contributor Day continues!
    • Keep going or switch teams to try something new. Explore, contribute, and learn.
  • 03:45 PM: Happiness after WordPress contribution and it’s rewards
    • Learn about giving back to the community, the Importance and Benefits of Contribution, Involvement in the WordPress community, Effective results after contribution, Happiness after reviews on plugins, and watching downloads.
  • 04:00 PM: Closing ceremony followed by high tea
    • Closing remarks, team highlights, and of course, a group photo—because no Delhi event is complete without one!

How to Prepare?

To make the most of Contributor Day, here’s your checklist:

  1. Register in Advance: Secure your spot at Contributor Day via the WordCamp Delhi website.
  2. Bring Your Laptop: Contributions are hands-on, so don’t forget your gear.
  3. Create a WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ Account: New to WordPress? Sign up at WordPress.org.
  4. Join the SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. Workspace: Download Slack and join the WordPress.org workspace for smooth coordination.
  5. Decide Your Team: Whether you’re drawn to marketing, design, or development, pick a team (or two!) to join.

  • New skills: Learn from the best minds in the WordPress community.
  • Networking Delhi style: Meet fellow contributors over chai and brainstorm sessions.
  • Impact: Your work will be part of the global WordPress ecosystem.

They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Europe 2024
WordCamp Europe 2024 is over, and our program was a big hit at the event, so much that it was the opening slide on Matt Mullenweg’s 2024 Summer Update where our mentees from the Q1 2024 cohort was featured! The excitement was so much that we even opened up an early interest form for the Q4 cohort! Let’s do a quick debrief of updates and learnings from the event and to celebrate our wins!

3. Mentorship Program Cohort #3 (Q4 2024)
In our past chats we have been discussing extensively on how our next cohort should look like. Based on all the ideas shared, let’s discuss and finalize a plan for our next cohort and start working on planning the same. We will be sharing the plan in this chat and will seek feedback from our group members. We also hope to assign tasks and start working as per plan.

4. Creating a plan for On-Demand Mentorship in 2025
We have received a lot of interest in the “On Demand Mentorship” idea that was discussed extensively in the last chat. Let’s start thinking of how a first version of the same would look like, how it could co-exist with our cohorts, and how do we trial this in 2025.

4. Five for the Future Updates and Handbook
I am excited to announce that the first version of the Five for the Future Handbook is now out thanks to efforts from multiple contributors! We will briefly review the same and share plans and updates on the program, which also got a lot of attention at the recent WordCamp Europe 2024.

5. Questions, thoughts, and open floor!
If we still have time after all that intense discussion, we’ll open up the floor to discuss WordPress Contribution broadly and our program!

Looking forward to seeing many of you in the chat!

We’re meeting on the Next Thursday (May 23rd) to continue our work on improving the contribution experience of WordPress and to continue our work on mentorship programs. For more information on the working group and its plans, check out our launch post and past chats.

Note: The Contributor Working Group typically meets on the Third Thursday of the Month, but for this month alone (May), we are moving our chat to the Fourth Thursday of the month.

Meeting times

We will hold these chats in multiple time zones to accommodate as many participants all over the world as possible. These chats will continue to be held on the Third Thursday of every month.

The chat will be held on the #community-team channel of the Make/WordPress Slack. Here’s the link to a handy `.ics` file containing calendar entries for our upcoming chat so you won’t miss it. These chats have also been added to the Make/Meetings calendar. Everyone interested in improving the contributor experience in WordPress and building future mentorship programs is welcome to attend!

Agenda

1. Welcome, introductions, and check-ins
How is everyone doing? New members joining the group can also introduce themselves. Do we also have any volunteers for notetaking, next agenda drafting, or next meeting host?

2. Brainstorming/Planning Cohort #3 of the Mentorship Program and Call for Interest
Now that Cohort #2 is over, and since we received a lot of interest and excitement from community members on hosting Cohort #3, let us start making an initial plan on how Cohort 3 is going to look like. We are also going to use this opportunity to bring in new facilitators for the group for Cohort 3, so this will be a chance to do so.

3. On-demand Mentorship
In our last chat, @tobifjellner shared an excellent idea around “on-demand mentorship”, where we create a pool of mentorsEvent Supporter Event Supporter (formerly Mentor) is someone who has already organised a WordCamp and has time to meet with their assigned mentee every 2 weeks, they talk over where they should be in their timeline, help them to identify their issues, and also identify solutions for their issues. who are available to support new contributors, so that new contributors coming in can get mentorship whenever they want. We will briefly explore this idea and think of a framework to build such a program.

4. Five for the Future Documentation Updates
In our last chat, we mentioned that in addition to our work on mentorship, this group will additionally start focusing on bolstering the broader contributor experience of WordPress. As part of that work, we started focusing a bit on creating documentation for self-sponsored and sponsored contributors for Five for the Future. We have already received excellent feedback on the same from community members on work done so far, and we will use this opportunity to discuss this.

5. Questions, thoughts, and open floor!
If we still have time after all that intense discussion, we’ll open up the floor to discuss WordPress Contribution broadly and our program!

Looking forward to seeing you at the chat!
