Whether you are a seasoned WordPress enthusiast or finding it difficult to getting started,Contributor Day welcomes everyone to participate, learn, and make an impact.
A Day of meaningful contribution
Contributor Day is not just another meetup. It is a hands-on experience where you actively contribute to WordPress, the open source project that powers over 43% of the web. This is where ideas become action and where your curiosity becomes real progress.
No matter your background, design, writing, development, marketing, accessibility, translation, documentation, or testing, there is a place for you. You will work alongside global contributors and see your efforts make a genuine difference.
Learn through doing
Unlike typical conference sessions, Contributor Day is hands on. You can choose from various Make WordPress teams and contribute directly to areas such as:
- Writing or improving documentation
- Helping with translations
- Testing and debugging issues
- Design and accessibility
- Community outreach and more
Experienced contributors and Table Leads are present throughout the day. This support makes it easy for first timers to get started and for returning contributors to deepen their impact.
Build the connections
Contributor Day brings together passionate people from all corners of the world. It offers opportunities to:
- Network with WordPress professionals and mentors
- Build friendships and find collaborations
- Discover paths you may not have known existed within the open source ecosystem
- Share ideas, insights, experiences, and personal journeys with peers
Many attendees share that the relationships they form on a Contributor Day influence their careers, open new doors, and inspire long term growth.
The Open-Source Library
One of the highlights of Contributor Day 2026 is the Open-Source Library, which builds on the concept previously known as the Human Library.
At the Open-Source Library, you can have one on one conversations with experienced professionals known as Open-Source Books. These experts openly share their journeys, lessons, challenges, and insights from working in open source.
What makes this experience meaningful:
One to one learning
Instead of reading about experiences, you engage directly with the people whose stories offer practical and lived wisdom.

This space encourages curiosity, connection, and meaningful dialogue that often sparks new ideas and motivation.✨
