Hey everyone and I mean everyone. Not just WordPress developers – product people, designers, marketers, support staff, business people – everyone is welcome to take part at Contributor Day!
As you already know, WordPress is an open source project. It was and still is created with the help of contributing peers. During WordCamps, when WordPress people get together, we have a chance to give back to the open source project.
In 2016, Contributor Day was focused on Translations with help from the Romanian Polyglots Team. We will continue this tradition with Adrian Pop and Valentin Vesa helping with translation coordination. This year, we’re adding two new topics: community and theme review, led by awesome people from the international community:
Milan Ivanovic is deeply involved with WordPress. He’s the WordPress.org global translation editor, WordPress Serbia lead and WordCamp Europe 2018 local team lead. He has participated on a vast number of WordCamps throughout the world and last year he’s been a speaker to WordCamp Bucharest – welcome back! Milan will be running the community workshop on Sunday.
Remkus de Vries is a big WordPress enthusiast. So big that he co-founded and co-lead for the first two WordCamp Europe conferences. Remember Leiden 2013? He’s the president of the WP Nederland Foundation responsible for organizing Dutch WordCamps and a remarkable speaker. You will see him on stage on Saturday, after the first coffee break. Remkus will also be involved in the community workshop.
Ulrich Pogson is a WordPress contributor and leader of the Theme Review Team. He’s also the lead organizer of WordCamp Bern and a speaker at our WordCamp. He’s taken a longer trip to visit our country before coming to Bucharest (he also stopped by WP Meetup in Cluj), so he will be coordinating the Theme Review workshop.
Ivelina Dimova is an old friend of our WordCamp and she is secretly in love with our capital city. Maybe we can get her to move here for a while. She is a traveler, a multi-WordCamp speaker, and WordCamp Europe 2017 organizer. Ivelina will also run the theme review workshop.
