Many many many of you indicated when purchasing tickets that you’d be interested in participating in the Contributor Day at WordCamp US, which is well on its way to becoming the largest contributor day ever held at a WordCamp!

So what is a contributor day?

A contributor day is an event dedicated to giving back to the WordPress project, often paired with a WordCamp. It’s for both seasoned contributors and people making their first foray into getting involved.

What: WordCamp US Contributor Day

When: Sunday, December 6. Doors open at 9:00 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. start.

Where: Pennsylvania Convention Center

Change your mind? If you indicated you’d be attending in error or have changed your mind or you didn’t sign up to attend but now you want to give back, you can opt in or out by following the link in your ticket confirmation email. If you’re not sure if you signed up to attend Contributor Day you can check on the Contributor Day Attendees page.

Here are some of the things you’ll be able to do:

• Contribute your first patch to core
