July 25, 2023 — WordPress is an open source software that is built by a group of volunteers all over the world. It might be surprising to know that the software that powers over 40% of the internet is powered by a vibrant community all over the world. Everything around the WordPress open source project resolves around the website: https://wordpress.org

The WordPress project is huge and is built and maintained by a bunch of contributors all over the world. Development of WordPress happens in the open, and anyone can help build the software. Through this session, we aim to take a detailed look at the WordPress project and the group of programs that keep WordPress alive and active.

In this session, we will:

* Introduce you to the WordPress Project
* Talk about the different aspects of the WordPress project, and how it functions.
* Share how the WordPress project works under the hood.

I will share my story and journey of starting at a company that always started from scratch, to now having great WordPress tools and boilerplates that make our lives easier and our clients happier.
