The WordPress Community Summit will be held August 22-23, 2023, in National Harbor, Washington, DC.
The Community Summit is an intimate, in-person gathering of contributors from across the WordPress open source project. Attendance will be determined based on an application and selection process. In selecting participants, the organizing team aims to bring together diverse representation from across the project. This includes both new and experienced contributors from across geographies, organizations, and Make Teams.
Example Community Summit topics include:
- Streamlining contributions to components of Gutenberg that are already part of WordPress core
- The importance and value of performance for WordPress
- Improvements to multilinguality in WordPress community
- What could central.wordcamp.org do better in this new era?
- What process can we put together to handle old Trac tickets?
- Strengthening the WordPress contributor team pipeline
- How does WordPress adopt an accessible-first approach?
- Trust & Safety in the WordPress ecosystem: Handling content moderation and sensitive content
- Strengthening cross-team communication and collaboration to reduce friction across the project
- Unifying the backward compatibility policies within the WordPress-develop and Gutenberg repos
You are welcome to propose additional topics here.
We encourage all – even those who are not selected to attend the Community Summit – to attend the 2023 WordCamp US and Contributor Day, which will take place August 24-26.
In order to allow contributors who need visas to attend, we will be doing rolling acceptances. Our goal is to have all contributors that are accepted notified by the end of June of 2023.
