November 19, 2020 — Quizás ya sepas que WordPress es el CMS más usado y, quizás, el más completo y mejor equipado para hacer sitios web. Pero algunas personas desconocen que es gracias a su comunidad, al trabajo voluntario constante de personas como tú y yo, que ha llegado al lugar en el que se encuentra hoy en día.

En esta charla conocerás los distintos equipos de colaboración de la Comunidad WordPress y las diferentes maneras en las que puedes colaborar. Aprenderás en cuáles necesitas un nivel de experiencia o conocimientos para involucrarte y en cuáles no, cómo comunicarte con los miembros o líderes de los equipos, los beneficios de colaborar, etc.

July 6, 2020 — Why do people contribute to the WordPress project? If you’ve ever wondered this but never gotten involved in an open source project, you might want to know the value of spending time contributing to one.
All contributors do it for the greater good — making the web a better place — but we also do it for ourselves: to advance personally and professionally.
In less than five years Francesca went from being a small-town website maker to landing a dream job in tech and leading releases of WordPress. In this talk, she will share some of the benefits you can get by contributing to WordPress, such as improved skills, increased reputation, and meeting new people.

May 30, 2020 — Have you ever wondered what it takes to help out with the WordPress project code base? What’s a ticket? How do you submit a patch? In this workshop we’ll open a ticket in WordPress’ bug tracker. I’ll work on the ticket in a WordPress development setup, then create and submit the patch to fix the issue. It will hopefully even get accepted and merged into WordPress core at a later time!

December 31, 2019 — This introductory session will cover the ways that people can contribute to the WordPress global community team, no matter what their background or experience.

December 19, 2019 — 11 years. That’s how long I’ve been using WordPress to create websites as a part of design and development teams. 2017 was the first year I started giving any real contribution back to the WordPress project. Before that I tried. I kept looking at this thing called Trac, I even created an account and followed some of the development tickets. But I felt blocked since my primary background is in design. I didn’t know how to get started.

All that changed last year when I was given a unique opportunity by my company to donate time to helping in the make.wordpress.org work. In this talk I’ll share the process I went through from not knowing where to get started, to jumping into a few tickets, to helping lead parts of the work being done in WordPress.

If you’re curious about giving back to WordPress, but don’t have a ton of development experience, then this talk will be for you. Let’s go through this journey together.

November 18, 2019 — Mobile devices provide an extraordinary opportunity to deliver a superior mobile experience to every user, particularly around accessibility and offline/poor connectivity support. The WordPress Mobile Apps, developed as open source, leverage that opportunity to bring the best WordPress experience on the road.

This talk, by one of the developers involved in the development of the WordPress Mobile Apps, will contain first hand information on the way we develop and test them to make sure that we provide the experience that our users expect, and how anyone can contribute to the effort, either coding, testing, contributing designs or documentation.
