Contributor Orientation Tool

Get prepared for Contributor Day

An online tool has been created by WordCamp Europe Organisers to help new contributors take part in building the WordPress platform.

By answering a series of questions, the Contributor Orientation Tool helps you learn about the different teams you can join to contribute to WordPress.

The tool only takes a few minutes to use and is available on the WCEU website for those attending Contributor Day on 20 June 2019. It can also be used by anyone to help decide on teams to join at other WordCamps.

Update: All places for Contributor Day have now been filled.

Contributor Day is a one-day event where volunteers contribute to WordPress, collaborate with new and existing contributors, and learn about the different ways to get involved in the project. Events like this take place all over the world, either as standalone fixtures or partnered with a WordCamp.

WordCamp Europe’s Contributor Day takes place on 20 June 2019, preceding the two conference days on 21-22 June.

The WordPress project is made up of a number of teams working on areas ranging from core and theme review to design and marketing.

Many Make WordPress teams will be represented, and the ability to choose a team was available when registering for a ticket.
