January 4, 2025 — As a self-identified ‘No-Code Contributor’ within the WordPress ecosystem, I advocate tirelessly for the empowerment and inclusion of underrepresented communities. My commitment stems from a deep belief in the importance of diversity and the unique perspectives it brings to the table. In my role as a Team Rep for Making WordPress Polyglots, I work to amplify the voices of those who may not have traditionally been heard within the WordPress community. By championing the contributions of underrepresented individuals not only from my local community, Dhaka WordPress Meetup Chapter, I strive to create a more inclusive and equitable environment where everyone’s talents and insights are valued. By fostering an environment that encourages collaboration and inclusivity, I aim to break down barriers and create opportunities for women to contribute their unique insights and expertise. I am a facilitator of WP Diversity within Bangladesh and try my best to help encourage women to contribute more and also make an impact. Moreover, fostering a more inclusive environment within the WordPress community has the potential to benefit hundreds and thousands of people worldwide. By amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities, we empower individuals to share their stories, insights, and expertise, thereby enriching the collective knowledge and resources available to the entire community. This not only strengthens the WordPress ecosystem but also expands its reach and impact, ultimately benefiting users, developers, businesses, and organizations around the globe. By championing diversity and inclusion within the WordPress ecosystem, we not only create a more equitable and welcoming community but also unleash the full potential of our collective talents and contributions. Together, we can build a future where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed, regardless of their background or identity.

December 3, 2024 — Explore how non-coders can contribute to WordPress by testing, updating documentation, and working with design and accessibility teams, highlighting the importance of no-code contributions in the open-source community.

WordPress aims to democratize publishing which got me thinking, what if a non-coder like myself could ever contribute to WordPress Core. Since the inception of this idea, I began working closely with the Core Team as well Design and Accessibility. Completing tasks such as testing, updating documentation, administrative work including ‘leading a bug-scrub’ or bug-gardening are all great examples of contributions that don’t necessarily require you to know ‘how to code’. In this talk, I try to paint a picture of an universe where WordPress can thrive with contributions from con-coders and folks such as you and me. I also try to justify the significance of No-code contributions to WordPress and how it is powering the project.
