💡 helping others,

👨‍🏫 writing and editing training curriculum,

📡 coming up with marketing ideas,

and so much more.

Here’s a short 4 minute interview with Contributor Day organizer, Naomi C. Bush.

Do I have to be a developer 👩‍💻 👨‍💻?

No, there are many ways to give back to WordPress. Contributor days are for everyone, on every experience level. Even someone who knows very little about WordPress can contribute by sharing why they use WordPress. So if you can create a WordPress post, Contributor Day is for you!

Did you say free lunch 🍴?

Yes, lunch will be provided.

Do I need a 2-day or 3-day ticket 🎟?

No, Contributor Day is completely free. However, you must have a ticket if you want to attend the workshops on Friday or sessions on Saturday or Sunday.

 

What can I expect?

The WordCamp Atlanta Contributor Day is very laid back. We’ll start by looking at all of the different ways you can contribute to WordPress, then break off into groups to complete the project/activity for your desired contribution area.
