But What’s Contributor Day?

Contributor Day is where all of us—coders, content writers/bloggers, marketers, translators, and many more come together and contribute to WordPress. You’ll get a chance to work with core contributors, learn new things, and a chance to network with fellow teammates.

Yes of course. You don’t need to be an expert coder. On Contributor days, all people are divided into different teams (like Design, Documentation Team, Translations Team aka Polygot etc.) You can contribute to any team of your choice.

Everyone has to just follow code conducts guidelines and yeah, you’re good to go!  Don’t forget to smile in front of the camera & to enjoy delicious snacks!
