Contributor day is a time to give back to WordPress and meet the people responsible for what we have today. You don’t have to be a developer or even know anything about WordPress to participate (it may actually be an asset). Regardless, participating is an excellent way to learn more and contribute back to the project.

You don’t have to sign up to attend, but we all that you update your registration to say what team you think you may want to start at. Not sure which team is right for you? The Marketing team famously has a great onboarding process for beginners and is often a good place to start. And we encourage everyone to get up and check out other teams, so you don’t have to stay where you start the day.
