If you love WordPress, and I mean really love WordPress – there are plenty of ways to be part of this lovely community.
Volunteer and contribute to WordPress
Coding, Reviewing, Testing – If you are a designer or a developer with experience in HTML, CSS, PHP, or Java, you can actively get involved with coding and reviewing code for the core WordPress framework. Think you are good at testing, there’s always a dearth of good testers for new releases. You can even review themes and plugins that get submitted to the WordPress org directory.
Documentation and Translation – If design or development is not your forte, but language is – then help with translating WordPress into your local language or creating tutorials for users.
Participate in WordCamps
Oh, WordCamps are so much fun! Whether you get involved as an organizer, volunteer, a speaker or simply attend one, it’s a wonderful way to get involved with the local community and make friends for life (yes, I can vouch for that). Be warned though, WordCamps can be addictive!
