December 18, 2023 — 12 years ago, when I started developing and maintaining my first plugin, I knew it was me the one who needed it. Deploying it to WordPress.org and sharing my work with other people seemed cool, almost obvious, like deploying your projects to Github/Bitbucket these days. But caring for a WordPress plugin is different.

October 21, 2023 — Consider the evolving landscape of the WordPress industry. Striking a balance between the cost of open-source contribution, business involvement, and the sustainability of WordCamps has become a critical necessity. This talk offers an honest look at the issues at hand.

It’s time to pave the way for sustainable contribution to the project, including WordCamps, creating a more balanced WordPress ecosystem.

December 13, 2021 — This talk discusses how to advocate for contributing to Open Source projects. (Did you know that not everyone who works on open source projects is a developer?)

Smaller tasks help newer contributors gain confidence and gain experience, which, in turn, leads to more contributions.

Contributing to Open Source also helps contributors feel connected with their community. But how does one become a contributor?

Learn what we can do as a community to help foster new contributors and encourage those who are already contributing.

March 20, 2020 — Oft herrscht die Vorstellung vor, um an einem großen Open-Source-Projekt wie WordPress mitzuarbeiten zu können, müsste man zumindest ein Informatikstudium erfolgreich absolviert haben – genau mit diesem Trugschluss will Ulf Schönefeld aufräumen. Ziel ist es das Projekt WordPress und die dahinterstehende Community beim Termin näherzubringen. Wie sind selbige organisiert, was sind sinnvolle Anlaufstellen und welche Möglichkeiten bestehen sich dort einzubringen; selbst gesetzt dem Fall, dass man von technischen Dingen wie PHP, HTML, CSS oder JavaScript so überhaupt gar keine Ahnung hat.
