In preparation for the day, we’d like to invite you to share your ideas of what contributors at the Training Team table can get involved with on that day. Below are some ideas to kick-start discussions. Feel free to comment on this post with your ideas, too! This brainstorming** is open until February 8th (Wednesday).** Team reps and table leads will consider all ideas and publish a post with a final plan by February ~10th~ 13th. ## Experienced Contributors * Review `Ready for Review` content * 6.1 Content Creation/Updates * 6.2 Content Creation * Translate resources as part of the [Localization Foundation project](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2022/11/07/project-thread-content-localization-foundations/) _Idea: We can label issues for contributors to work on with `wcasia 2023` or similar before the event starts. This will allow us to create a dedicated view in 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/](https://github.com/) to highlight issues for this event._ ## New Contributors * Have contributors go through the brand new [Onboarding Paths](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2022/11/26/project-thread-training-team-onboarding-paths/) - _We can share team values, goals and projects as part of this_ * Review online courses and submit feedback * [Review published content](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/guidelines-for-reviewing-content-on-learn/) and submit error report - _Spelling mistakes_ - _Outdated content_ - _Something is not clear and needs improvement_ - _Screenshot/images missing_ [#contributor-days](https://make.wordpress.org/training/tag/contributor-days/), [#wordcamp](https://make.wordpress.org/training/tag/wordcamp/) ### Share this: * [ Threads ](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/01/24/brainstorm-wordcamp-asia-2023-contributor-day/?share=threads) * [ Mastodon ](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/01/24/brainstorm-wordcamp-asia-2023-contributor-day/?share=mastodon) * [ Bluesky ](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/01/24/brainstorm-wordcamp-asia-2023-contributor-day/?share=bluesky) * [ Facebook ](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/01/24/brainstorm-wordcamp-asia-2023-contributor-day/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/01/24/brainstorm-wordcamp-asia-2023-contributor-day/?share=x) * [ LinkedIn ](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/01/24/brainstorm-wordcamp-asia-2023-contributor-day/?share=linkedin) * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Ftraining%2F2023%2F01%2F24%2Fbrainstorm-wordcamp-asia-2023-contributor-day%2F%23respond&locale=en_US) 1. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e7b27b178ff5a141aa26976d2f17272a6483508f92d4fc6a210bcf8df560921f? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 2.

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.

This will involve more outreach and be an area marketing team may wish to collaborate further upon. 5. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b0cb667bc7a518f2fbcc0103e0c866cc18852989eae4a243c2de17c8807a363d? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 6.

I would really like to see a deliberate remote element brought into this year’s contributor dayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of [https://make.wordpress.org/](https://make.wordpress.org/) There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/). Not everyone can attend in person, but how cool would it be if there were a way those of us not in attendance could run a few Zoom sessions and/or work together collaboratively across the globe during this day? 8. An example of this that I really appreciated was when the [Training team remotely hosted a WPTranslationDay event](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2021/09/30/wptranslationday-subtitling-videos-on-learn/). There was a brief “How To” session a la Zoom, and people who were contributing could join and subtitle videos. This is also how we subtitled all the previously existing videos on Learn that were not prior to Fall, 2021– a synchronous learning session followed by members from all over the world adding subtitles to all our videos. 9. **We would need…** -a volunteer to run a Zoom session (probably in that timezone or I’d volunteer), -a topic (or two!) to teach/train people on synchronously - maybe a way to sign up (Meetup.com would offer this option) ahead of time and spread the word (another place Marketing could get involved!) -a way to follow up on any unfinished business such as in a P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at [https://make.wordpress.org](https://make.wordpress.org/) post (say if, for example, someone wanted to write a lesson plan or a script for a video tutorial or something–Courtney Robertson has pointed out that historically, writing content on contributor day hasn’t yielded strong results) 10.
