As the vibrant heart of the WordPress community gathers in Rome for Core Days 2024, we’re reminded of the indispensable support that makes events like this possible. Today, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to WordPress.com for their sponsorship and unwavering commitment to the WordPress community.
WordPress.com has long been a cornerstone of the WordPress ecosystem, empowering millions of users worldwide to create, publish, and share their ideas on the web. Their ongoing support for community events like Core Days is a testament to their dedication to not only improving the platform itself but also fostering the open-source community that helps drive it forward.
WordPress.com has always championed the core values of WordPress: openness, inclusivity, and innovation. These values have been instrumental in helping the platform grow into the most popular content management system (CMS) in the world, powering over 43% of websites globally. Their commitment to democratizing publishing aligns perfectly with the mission of WordPress Core Days: to bring together contributors from all over the world to collaborate, share knowledge, and help shape the future of WordPress.
At Core Days Rome 2024, attendees will once again have the chance to discuss on key areas of the WordPress core. This year’s event will focus on enhancing the platform’s accessibility, performance, and usability—three pillars that WordPress.com has consistently supported through their platform innovations and community contributions.
One of the remarkable things about WordPress.com is its ability to make publishing accessible to all to tell their stories, share their passions, and connect with a global audience. By offering a free platform that anyone can use to start their blog or website, WordPress.com is living proof of what democratized publishing looks like. But they don’t stop there. Their ongoing development of innovative features like block-based editing, full-site editing, and seamless integration with third-party services continue to lower the barrier for entry of new users.
This mission aligns closely with what Core Days 2024 stands for—making WordPress better for everyone in the world. Whether it’s through improving the core software, making the platform more accessible, or creating opportunities for new contributors to get involved, WordPress.com has been an enthusiastic partner in this journey.
WordPress.com’s support extends beyond the platform to the global WordPress community. Their investment in events like Core Days Rome is an acknowledgment of the importance of in-person collaboration and learning. They understand that, at its heart, WordPress is about people: the developers, designers, translators, and enthusiasts who contribute their time and skills to keep the platform thriving.
Their sponsorship of Core Days Rome 2024 provides a unique opportunity for these contributors to come together, work on impactful projects, and inspire one another to continue pushing the boundaries of what WordPress can achieve. The generosity of WordPress.com not only makes this collaboration possible but also ensures that the spirit of open-source contribution remains at the forefront of the community.
As we look ahead to the exciting developments and innovations that will emerge from Core Days Rome 2024, we know that WordPress.com is committed to more than just a product; they are invested in the open-source spirit that defines WordPress.
Core Days Rome 2024 would not be possible without the generosity of sponsors like WordPress.com. Together, we will continue to make WordPress the best it can be—one line of code, one contribution, and one community event at a time.
