The group is 2,904 members strong and belongs to the community, not to us. These are the sessions we have hosted at our office.

Why we contribute

My WordPress journey started by solving real business problems for clients and growing teams that needed reliable websites, faster launches, and systems they could actually manage. As my company grew, so did my interest in contributing back, from plugins and documentation to testing, patterns, translations, and core work. I stay involved because WordPress is more than a CMS to me, it is a platform for building durable digital businesses.
