Contributor Day is Back at WordCamp Canada. With Two Surprises!

WordCamp Canada • Ottawa, Ontario • October 15-17

Join us on Wednesday, October 15 at Invest Ottawa‘s Bayview Yards tech hub the day before the main conference, for Contributor Day.

What’s Contributor Day?

It’s a full day of collaboration, learning, and giving back to the WordPress project. Are you a seasoned contributor? Is this the first time you’ve ever thought about getting involved? Either way, Contributor Day is for you.

So come spend a great day in a welcoming space to meet WordPress friends and brand-new connections, share your knowledge and learn something brand-new (fun fact: everyone is an expert in something and a beginner in something!) and make a real impact.

What’s new this year?

Beyond the standard contribution tables you might be used to, this year’s Contributor Day will feature a dedicated workshop track focused on hands-on learning, mentorship, and practical skills.

In that track, you’ll get a chance to dive deeper into tools, techniques, and topics that matter to the whole WordPress community — and you’ll learn directly from some of the most experienced folks speaking at the conference.

All that and accessibility too!

Plus! October 15 is also WP Accessibility Day — a global event that’s just for advancing accessibility in WordPress and beyond. Join us at Contributor Day, and you can contribute directly to official accessibility initiatives at the very same time you’re kicking off an incredible three-day WordCamp experience in Ottawa.

So what’s your jam? Are you interested in contributing code? Want to improve documentation? Are you getting started with—or have massive expertise in!—accessibility? Or do you just want to meet a bunch of people? At Contributor Day, you can do all that and a whole lot more.

Stay tuned for more details! They are coming imminently. From how to register to a sneak peek at the workshop lineup, you’ll want to keep an eye out for all the info. We can’t wait to kick off WordCamp Canada 2025 with you!

  • Does Your Tiny Business Really Need to Worry about Accessibility?

    I’ll admit it: when I started the research for this article, I expected to find stories of altruism or political grandstanding. I was surprised by what I found. For instance, did you know that back in 1997 our very own Royal Bank of Canada installed the world’s first talking ATM in an Ottawa branch? In…

  • Why I need WordLand

    I’m primarily a writer, my podcasts reflect that, so most of the work I do on each podcast, beyond recording the audio, is in writing the show notes.  I have a template the writing and audio flow through. Fairly standard stuff, the same approach used by Tumblr and many other blogging systems, including UserLand's Manila…

  • My blogroll is a feed reader

    The nice thing about a blogroll is that it can become a feed reader, in a very small space. It's been on my blog home page for over a year, and I use it a lot, largely because I have to go to that page a lot to see how something I've written looks. Then…
