Workshops and Contibutors Day will be on April 16th (Saturday) on Korkeavuorenkatu 35, Helsinki.
Register to Workshops from here.
On Workshops and Contributors Day we’ll be going through specific topics in small groups. Bring your laptop with you because it might involve coding also.
- Workshops are more like easy going classes in school.
- Contributing means contributions to Core and translating Core, Themes and Plugins.
Schedule
11:00 am – 13:00 pm: Workshop round I, contributions to Core and translating
13:00 pm – 14:00 pm: Lunch break
14:00 pm – 16:00 pm: Workshop round II, contributions to Core and translating
Contributing teams all day at 11:00 am – 16:00 pm
Contributing and translating starts with a ~45 min long “how to” tutorial. If you would like to learn about both, it’s fine to eg. attend the tutorial on contributing to core and spend the rest of the day translating, or the other way around. You can also attend the afternoon workshops if you like.
Nikolay Bachiyski is showing how to contribute to Core. You don’t want to miss this chance! Daniel Koskinen is hosting the Core translation team.

- Internationalization (i18n) and Localization (l10n): If you have existing content that you would like to make available for different languages, now’s your chance.
