Ep 246 – How to Give Back to the WordPress Community

What would you do for a living if WordPress didn't exist? Who would your colleagues be? Would your business exist if WordPress didn't? Have you ever asked yourself questions like these? It's amazing to be part of an open source community, but it can be easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what that actually means. For most of us, WordPress is at the center of our business model and the foundation of our marketable skill set....and it doesn't cost us a penny! Have you ever considered contributing to WordPress in some way? On this week's episode of Divi Chat, we will discuss the 3 primary ways you can give back, and share some resources for doing so. If you know of an organization or an individual that takes an active role in contributing to WordPress, please comment below and let us know! We'd love to shine a light on those who are giving back and encourage others to follow their lead.
