The Make Marketing team is currently inactive. Work on the WordPress Showcase remains open to contributions, and marketing amplification requests can be made via GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/. For those with marketing talents, we currently recommend connecting with the Community team to promote WordPress events or with one of the many other Make teams. For any other ideas or discussions unrelated to these contributing areas, you can use the GitHub discussion area or Make Slack.
What is a Contributor? WordPress Contributors Speak Out.
Hey WordPressers,
WordPress isn’t “just” software. It’s created by volunteers who give of themselves to build community. Real people who contribute their time, skill, talent and enthusiasm to the project. These are the contributors, people like you and me. So, what makes a contributor? Who is a contributor? What does that look like?
We know that many of you have contributed throughout the years and since WordPress just turned 14, we’d love to hear some of your stories.
Everyday new people learn about and join in the WordPress Project, we’d like to encourage them to be part of it, too.
