WordCamp Contributor Days give you a special opportunity to share a room with other people who are contributing to WordPress. WordPress is now running more than 43% of the worldwide web and it needs our help. We encourage you to take part in WordCamp Switzerland’s Contributor Day: especially if you have never contributed before and you’re looking for a way to get started. There will be people at the conference and at Contributor Day who can help you get started.

When and where will Contributor Day be held?

WordCamp Switzerland’s Contributor Day takes place on Friday 31st March 2023 at 9 a.m. The location is on the same site as the WordCamp itself.

What happens at Contributor Day?

If you’ve never contributed your time to WordPress before, Contributor Day is a great place to start. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone to help projects like:

  • Core – improve the main WordPress platform. We can help you get you to get started with contributing to WordPress Core.
  • Design – Help design and develop the user interface for WordPress; a home for designers and UXers alike.
  • Theme Review – Join the team which is responsible for the high quality in the WordPress.org Themes Directory.
  • Translations – make WordPress and its accompanying resources available in your language.
  • Community – improve the WordCamp and meetup organization processes. Help getting a meetup started in your area. We have meetups all over Switzerland: in Baden, Bern, Chur, Fribourg, Geneva, Lausanne, Lucerne, Lugano, Neuchâtel, Sion and Zürich.
  • WordPress.tv – reviews and approves every video submitted to WordPress.tv. They also help WordCamps with video post-production. We need help editing the videos of the talks so that we can upload them to WordPress.tv.

What do I need?

Don’t forget your laptop and charger – you’ll need them during the contribution process.
