They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. edition of dev chat, which normally happens every Wednesday at 20:00 UTC.
If you are participating in Contributor Day, either on site or remotely, welcome! Please say hey when the chat starts, with an emoji wave or something that shows us who you are. @marybaum often uses a tennis ball when she’s not leading.
Also, if you’re physically at Contributor Day, Mary will do some live explaining at the table. But for the most part, this dev chat should give you a sense of what happens every week.
