It’s never too late to find the right career path
Afsana Multani
It’s all about “Never Give up”! During my talk, I will be sharing a real-life story. My Afsana – a short story (that’s the meaning of my name), how I settle down with WordPress, and how WordPress inspires me to work for oneself as well as for the community. Support and helping people become one of the core objectives of my life. Everything is possible if you are ready for a change – there’s no right time, and proper age to start a new start 🙂 I believe, if I can do this, you can do this even better.
Afsana has a beautiful background as an Artist, but WordPress is her adventure since she learned about WordPress and its vast community; she enjoys learning and exploring experience in Customer Support and recently started an initiative called “iamwplearner,” as a knowledge-sharing activity with a dream of helping the local as well as WordPress community through different channels and languages.
Get Started with Contributing
Nicky Lim
In early 2019, I took a class at Cornell University on contributing to Open Source and worked with a team of 6 under the guidance of a WordPress mentor. I will share my experience as a first-time contributor to WordPress: how I familiarized myself with the codebase, got in touch with the WordPress Core (Privacy) and Gutenberg community, and pushed my first few patches out.
Nicky believes some of the best code ever written is in the Open Source community and it has become a key source of software that runs our digital world today. As such, it is valuable to understand the ecosystem to benefit our own projects and to enable us to contribute back.
