In addition to their four Friday workshops, WordCamp Providence is also hosting a WordPress Contribute Day this Friday!
Have you ever been interested in giving back to WordPress? With versions 3.7 and 3.8 both starting early development this month, there’s never been a more exciting time to get involved—and from experienced contributors to enthusiastic beginners, we would love to have you all join us! We’ll kick off the day at 1pm with an introduction to contributing from one of the WordPress lead developers, then spend the afternoon working individually or in groups on tickets for core.
This is a developer-oriented event, so knowledge of PHP, JavaScript, CSS or HTML will be useful. We do also need help with documentation, video transcriptions, handbook editing and other non-code tasks, however, if you’re not comfortable with coding.
Bring your laptops, bring your notebooks, but most of all, bring a desire to join the team and contribute back to WordPress!
While this event is free, please RSVP so we can ensure we have enough space to accommodate all participants.
Attending an event like this is a great way to get started contributing to WordPress. If you’re available, you should totally go!
