December 10, 2017 — While a contributor day in the core team gives you a basic idea on how the development environment is setup and the processes involved, it is often hard to follow up on that. Trying to find tickets to work on is tough when there are almost 5000 open tickets around, and when your ideas are rejected for seemingly no apparent reason, frustration quickly becomes a factor.

This talk addresses what comes next: How do you spend your contributing time efficiently? How do you find access to developer groups? How do you make your ideas heard? Following up on your first contribution efforts is not always as straightforward as one may expect, and the goal of this talk is to prepare you for a beneficial long-term relationship as a core contributor, by presenting advanced techniques and clarifying expectations.

December 10, 2017 — The Italian WordPress community was dormant for years, until a bunch of people got together at WCEU Contributor Day in Seville, in 2015, and decided it was time to revive it.

After months of online chats in our Slack team, we organised an event that kick-started an avalanche of Meetups and WordCamps in Italy: a stand-alone Contributor Day.

Two years later, Italy has more than 20 active Meetups, 4 cities with WordCamps in planning, and a great numbers of Contributors across the project.

In this talk, I’ll go through the steps we took to organise it, and I will also talk about Contributor Nights, special Meetup events where we concentrate on one of the Make teams and learn how to contribute from scratch.

November 11, 2017 — Now that you have a WordPress site and your blogging what are you going to do with it? Deciding on what to blog on is not as complicated as it sounds. Determine what you are passionate about, think about what your excited about in your community and how you can bring about engagement and collaboration.

You have a voice that needs to be heard and using WordPress is an awesome tool to use. Creating a Brand is a promise that your content is important and an invitation to not only follow, but to be engaged, involved, contributory and active.

Bill Gates stated, “content is king,” and content runs the world. “How to be Dope and Lit on Social Media” is a way to share dynamic and diverse content that inspires and motivates: to move people to go beyond their every day lives and engage to bring change. Every person has a voice and that voice deserves to be heard using the diversity of platforms, tools and digital devices available.

September 5, 2017 — W trakcie prezentacji Magdalena i Jakub opowiedzą o tym, czym jest i jak pracuje społeczność WordPressa. Zastanowimy się wspólnie, jak można włączyć się w jej działania i ulepszać nasz ukochany system albo jak kto woli, zdobyć więcej odznak do profilu na wordpress.org 🙂

Będzie kilka słów o zgłaszaniu poprawek do jądra systemu, pracach nad interfejsem, poprawianiu dostępności i użyteczności, pracy tłumaczy i pomocy, a także o recenzowaniu motywów i tworzeniu dokumentacji.

Oczywiście, nie obędzie się bez podsumowania tegorocznego Contributor Day, czyli pierwszego dnia naszej konferencji.

Anyone having knowledge of English and Marathi language can do it.

WordPress Polyglot site is made for Localization of WordPress. Makrand would like to motivate people to contribute to it.

WordPress is already available to use in the Marathi language. If more people’s starts contributing, more themes and plugins can be translated.

There are more than hundreds of popular themes and plugins on WordPress repository. If at least they are translated into Marathi then many Marathi peoples can use WordPress easily in Marathi.

On the occasion of Global Translation Day first, Makrand gathered many peoples to translate WordPress in Marathi. He found that some suggestions were getting rejected by General translation editor (GTE).

Not every time, GTE can explain reasons for rejecting strings. But Makrand will guide new contributor and explain them ways to get in touch with Marathi GTEs. So better translations will be possible.

Also, attendees will know benefits of contributing back to the community.
