Contributor Day

The WordCamp season has kicked in! And all we can say is that Contributor Day is the most special day for all WordPress enthusiasts to meet new people with different perspectives and learn how to contribute to WordPress.

WordCamp Sylhet 2024 contributor day will take place on 10th May.

This year, we will be limiting Contributor Day attendance within the Conference Day attendees only. Which means you will be able to sign up for Contributor Day only if you have secured your attendee/sponsor/organizer/volunteer ticket already.

On this page, you’ll get all the information that you are looking for on the Contributor Day and the signup process. We are hoping for a blast at the WordCamp. See ya!

WordPress Contributor Day

It’s a day when all the WordPress folks join together to contribute to the open-source WordPress project. 

If this is your very first WordCamp contributor experience, don’t get stressed at all! We have got you covered. Contributor Day is a fun event to enjoy to the fullest and be a part of the activities like getting to meet the team, observing and learning, and contributing! Together we can do so much to make it a successful event and contribute even just for a day. 

Is it necessary to be a coder/programmer to attend the Contributor Day?
– No. WordPress is a melting pot of ideas for people from all walks of life. You can be a designer, a copywriter, a marketer, or just a person who loves to click photos with your phone; WordPress is looking for contributions from all of these segments and more!

Contributor Day is a great opportunity to gather massive knowledge about WordPress, build networks, collaborate with community members, and most importantly – have a great time with everyone.

WordPress encourages you, us, and every individual to come forward and create value for the community, even if you are a first-time contributor.

Why should I be a part of the Contributor Day?

Your contribution can change the WordPress community and benefit everyone! If you are a WordPress user we bet you love WordPress too. And the best part is that WordCamp contribution is not limited to the developers or programmers only. Anyone who is genuinely interested can contribute; from programmers to writers to photographers.

WordPress truly believes that without your contributions WordPress wouldn’t be what it is today. The door is open for all with unlimited opportunities like building a network, meeting people from different backgrounds, and learning from professional experiences. 

Also, you can upgrade skills as your interested group will have dedicated Slack channels to keep you updated.

What to expect?

WordCamp is wide open for all the attendees to expect a lot of fun time regardless of their professional background, skills, and knowledge. You will surely have an amazing time with ongoing sessions that can shape your career in a better way.

WordCamp will be attended by many people and among them some would-be experts alongside newbies. Despite people from different backgrounds and experiences, everyone will be expected to gather knowledge and help others to grow as well.
