Team introductions
This year, WordCamp Europe will have 15 Make WordPress teams at Contributor Day. Let’s give the teams the stage to introduce themselves.
Some teams are also hosting office hours prior to Contributor Day in Making WordPress Slack – join them to say “Hi” or to get help with setting up the tools you might need.
Accessibility Team
The a11y group provides accessibility expertise across the project. They make sure that WordPress core and all of WordPress’ resources are accessible.
CLI Team
WP-CLI is the official command line tool for interacting with and managing your WordPress sites.
Community Team
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.
Core Team
The core team makes WordPress. Whether you’re a seasoned PHP 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.
Core privacy Team
The core-privacy team designs and maintains the privacy tools in WordPress. Whether you’re a privacy advocate or just interested in protecting user rights, we’d love to have your input. You can write code, design privacy workflows, protect user data and debate consent, disclosure and compliance issues.
Design Team
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.
Documentation Team
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. The blog has discussion around the team’s current projects.
Hosting Team
We work to improve WordPress’ end-user experience across hosting environments through industry collaboration and user education. Come join us!
Marketing Team
Our vision for the Marketing Team is to be the go-to resource for strategy and content for other WordPress teams.
Mobile Team
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.
Polyglots Team
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 Team
Answering a question in the support forums or IRC is one of the easiest ways to start contributing. Everyone knows the answer to something! This blog is the place for discussion of issues around support.
Themes Team
The Theme Review Team reviews and approves every Theme submitted to the WordPress Theme repository. Reviewing Themes sharpens your own Theme development skills. You can help out and join the discussion on the blog.
Training Team
The training team creates downloadable lesson plans and related materials for instructors to use in a live workshop environment. If you enjoy teaching people how to use and build stuff for WordPress, immediately stop what you’re doing and join our team!
TV Team
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.
Meta Team
The Meta team makes WordPress.org, provides support, and builds tools for use by all the contributor groups.
