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. US (WCUS) 2023 Contributor DayContributor DayContributor 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/ 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/. was held this year on Thursday, August 24th. Typically all Make Teams share one room on Contributor Day, but this year the Training Team shared a large room with Docs Team contributors. This new setup allowed for us to have more space to engage with current and new contributors, spread out as we needed, and ensure that there was no confusion about which table was which.
This year we had a total of 30 in person contributors and 14 online contributors, giving us a total of 44 contributors to the Training Team on Contributor Day!
Can we give a round of applause to all of our friends who showed up to give back to WordPress through the Training Team that day?:
