@Ben Evans – I only started contributing to the Training Team in June 2022. This year was really exciting for me as I contributed as a team rep, allowing me to work alongside so many people It was exciting to get to know so many WordPress enthusiasts, both through Slack, at Online Workshops, and even at Meetups and WordCamps. So, thanks to everyone who I was able to interact with this year’s
digitalchild – I can’t remember when I joined. After Ben that’s all I got heh
@Ben Evans – Training was able to refine onboarding, meeting formats, values, goals, contribution documentation, and direction for Learn… just so much! I look forward to what the team accomplishes next year
@webtechpooja – I made my first contribution to the Training team back in 2019, and then got more involved in the team at the time of the learn.wordpress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. https://wordpress.com/ website launch in 2020. After this, I never looked back and made continuous contributions here. For the past 2 years, I have served as a team rep, and for this, I am really honored. I learned many things from my fellow team members. the teamwork, collaboration, and work in different time zones async is truly amazing.
