Contributor Day at WordCamp Asia has always been about learning, collaboration, and giving back to WordPress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the traditional Contributor Day format, this year we are introducing a set of focused, hands-on workshops<\/strong> designed for attendees new to WordPress or contributing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These workshops are not a replacement for the existing Contributor Day activities. Instead, they are intended to support participants who may not yet feel ready to jump into contribution but want to learn, build confidence, and understand how they can eventually get involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this possible, we\u2019re opening a Call for Workshop Facilitators<\/strong> and inviting members of the WordPress community to help us lead and support these workshops on the Contributor Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Our Actual Plan for the Contributor Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The traditional Contributor Day experience will continue as usual for attendees who are already comfortable contributing. In parallel, we are planning a series of hands-on workshops that provide a more guided learning environment for newcomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These workshops focus on practical learning and active participation, allowing attendees to follow along, experiment, and ask for help as they go. The goal is to create a welcoming entry point into the WordPress ecosystem without pressure to contribute before they feel ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
