GatherPress Team
The contributions from these individuals has and continues to make a lasting impact on the WordPress open-source project, and we are so grateful for their leadership and hard work.
More than Gratitude
All contribution to the WordPress open-source project is equally valuable, but being a self-funded contributor means that volunteering for the open-source project often costs money in addition to time and energy.
As such, we want to recognize the folks from this group who are taking on this leadership role as self-funded contributors. Through our partnership with GoDaddy, we are able to offer them a stipend for their work in their role as Table Lead at WCUS 2024 Contributor Day.
Please join us in giving these contributors and extra special thanks for everything they give to the open-source WordPress project!
