WordCamp Torino 2023's Contributor Day will take place on Friday, April 14, 2023 at Toolbox Coworking. 

Whether you’re a budding developer, a designer, or just like helping out, we’re always looking for people to help make WordPress even better.

This is how the page dedicated to contributing to WordPress begins, summing up pretty well the whole vibe of a Contributor Day.

WordPress is an open source project, and this mainly means that behind your installation there are countless hours of work by people all around the world.

Contributing to WordPress means to start discovering what’s behind the world’s most used CMS. Spoiler: there’s people! 😜

Each contribution counts!

The work groups during the day are led by a Senior Contributor and are open to both experience contributors and those who are just beginning to help.

Anybody can find a team they can help: your level of WordPress knowledge doesn’t really matter. If you want to share what you can do or what you’d like to do, this is the right day for you!

How can I contribute?

During the Contributor Day, you can take a seat at the table you prefer, according to your skills or curiosity. A Senior Contributor will show you how to get started contributing. Just relax and turn on your computer (just don’t forget to bring yours, you’re going to need it!)

Wondering how you can contribute to WordPress?

Here’s our global teams:

• Core: The core team makes WordPress. Whether you’re a seasoned PHP, HTML, JavaScript or CSS developer or are just learning to code, we’d love to have you on board. You can write code, fix bugs, debate decisions, and help with development.
• Design: The design group is focused on the designing and developing the user interface. It’s a home for designers and UXers alike. There are regular discussions about mockups, design, and user testing.
• Mobile: The mobile team builds the iOS and Android apps. Lend them your Java, Objective-C, or Swift skills. The team also needs designers, UX experts, and testers to give users a smooth experience on every device.
• Accessibility: The a11y group provides accessibility expertise across the project. They make sure that WordPress core and all of WordPress’ resources are accessible.
• Polyglots: WordPress is used all over the world and in many different languages. If you’re a polyglot, help out by translating WordPress into your own language. You can also assist with creating the tools that make translations easier.
• Support: Answering a question in the support forums or IRC is one of the easiest ways to start contributing. Everyone knows the answer to something!
• Documentation: Good documentation lets people help themselves when they get stuck. The docs team is responsible for creating documentation and is always on the look-out for writers.
• Themes: The Theme Review Team reviews and approves every Theme submitted to the WordPress Theme repository. Reviewing Themes sharpens your own Theme development skills.
• Plugins: If you are a Plugin developer, subscribe to the Plugin review team blog to keep up with the latest updates, find resources, and learn about any issues around Plugin development.
• Community: If you’re interested in organizing a meetup or a WordCamp, the community blog is a great place to get started. There are groups working to support events, to create outreach and training programs, and generally support the community.
• Meta: The Meta team makes WordPress.org, provides support, and builds tools for use by all the contributor groups. If you want to help make WordPress.org better, sign up for updates from the Meta blog.
• Training : The WordPress training team helps people learn to use, extend, and contribute to WordPress through synchronous and asynchronous learning as well as downloadable lesson plans for instructors
• Test: The Test team patrols flow across the entire WordPress ecosystem on every device we have at hand. We test, document, and report on the WordPress user experience. Through continuous dogfooding and visual records, we understand not only what is wrong, but also what is right. We immerse ourselves in the context of what we are making and champion user experience.
• TV : The TV team reviews and approves every video submitted to WordPress.tv. They also help WordCamps with video post-production and are responsible for the captioning and subtitling of published videos. Reviewing videos is a great way to learn about WordPress and help the community: experience is not required to get involved.
• Marketing : Our vision for the Marketing Team is to be the go-to resource for strategy and content for other WordPress teams.
• CLI : WP-CLI is the official command line tool for interacting with and managing your WordPress sites.
• Hosting : We work to improve WordPress’ end-user experience across hosting environments through industry collaboration and user education.
• Tide : Tide is a series of automated tests run against every plugin and theme in the directory and then displays PHP compatibility and test errors/warnings in the directory.
• Openverse : Openverse is a search engine for openly-licensed media. The Openverse team implements new features and new media types; maintains the public API and front-end search engine; and develops WordPress integrations to share Openverse with the entire WordPress community.
• Photos : The Photo Directory team moderates every photo submitted to the WordPress Photo Directory, maintains and improves the directory site itself, and provides resources and documentation to educate, encourage, and facilitate photo contributors.
• Core Performance: The core performance team is dedicated to monitoring, enhancing, and promoting performance in WordPress core and its surrounding ecosystem.
