WordPress places a strong emphasis on collaboration and community. For many individuals, WordCamps serve as their initial foray into the world of contributing. Gathering for these collaborative events worldwide presents a wonderful opportunity to collectively share and learn. Sharing your personal stories of contribution at WordCamps can play a crucial role in inspiring new contributors to join this fantastic journey.
We aim to inspire an even greater number of individuals to participate in the event, acquire new skills, and leverage their talents to enhance WordPress. Without contributors, there would be no Contributor Day and no WordPress at all!
Our intention is to showcase stories from experienced contributors who have found fulfillment in their contributions at these events. The WordCamp Asia 2025 Contributor Day Team will carefully curate a selection that encompasses various levels of engagement. This compilation will highlight voices from contributors around the world, all sharing their experiences within the WordPress community. These published contributor stories will be featured on our WordCamp Asia 2025 Blog.
