Can I submit a video story?
Absolutely! You can submit a video (1–10 minutes) capturing your WordPress contribution experience. Make sure your video is focused, easy to understand, and highlights the aspects of your journey most relevant for new contributors
Can I share an existing video from my channel or social media?
We ask that you create a new, personalized video specifically for this Contributor Story Call. This helps us feature your content in our event, blog, and social media shorts while ensuring it is tailored to inspire new contributors. Existing videos are great, but a fresh recording focused on this opportunity will have the most impact!

No, but English is preferred. We’ll help translate if needed. If we can’t translate it we will use the original context as promoting diverse languages.

Gravatar will automatically pull it using your email address associated with it. If you want, you can share a separate photo. It will help us to connect your story to the community.
