Building Together: The Spirit of Open Source at WordCamp Canada 2025

WordCamp Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Ottawa, Ontario 🍁 October 15-17

There’s something powerful about building things together. It’s more than just writing code or pushing updatesβ€”it’s the feeling of being part of something bigger. That’s the heart of open source, and it’s exactly what we’re celebrating at WordCamp Canada 2025.

WordPress has always been more than software.

It’s a community: of people who believe in sharing knowledge, creating opportunities, and supporting each other. It’s a global project: built across the world, but powered by local voices, from hobby bloggers and solo freelancers to agency teams and enterprise developers. And now, we’re gathering from coast to coast in one place, to learn, connect, and buildβ€”together.

WordCamp Canada 2025 is a milestone. It’s a reflection of how far the Canadian WordPress community has comeβ€”and how much potential we still have to unlock.

Whether you’re contributing to core, organizing local meetups, mentoring newcomers, or just starting your first site, your presence here matters. Every contribution, big or small, is part of the larger open source story we’re writing together.

You’ll feel it in the sessions, the hallway chats, the contributor day tables, and the quiet moments of shared insight. You’ll see it in the volunteers who make this event possible, and the speakers who share their journeys. They don’t do it for recognition nearly as much as they do for the next person who needs to hear, β€œYou belong here too.”

Open source thrives when we collaborate. When we listen, teach, build, and lead with empathy. WordCamp Canada isn’t just a celebration of WordPressβ€”it’s a celebration of the Canadian community spirit that fuels it.
