Thank You for Making Contributor Day So Special

Contributor Day at WCMY25 was truly something special — and it wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you who showed up, shared your time, energy, and skills.

From the moment the doors opened, the room was filled with collaboration and excitement. Contributors came together across different teams — code, design, documentation, translations, marketing, community, and more — all with one shared purpose: to give back to the WordPress ecosystem and strengthen our open-source community.

Whether this was your first time contributing or you’ve been part of the community for years, every contribution mattered. No effort was too small. Each task completed, discussion held, and idea shared added up to real impact — and together, you helped move the WordPress project forward.

We were inspired to see new contributors stepping up with confidence, experienced mentors guiding patiently, and friendships forming over shared goals. These moments reflect what Contributor Day is really about: learning, growing, supporting one another, and building something meaningful — together.

To all our contributors, mentors, volunteers, table leads, organizers, and supporters:
thank you for your dedication and generosity.

Because of you, Contributor Day wasn’t just the kickoff to WCMY25 — it became a celebration of community spirit and collaboration

From all of us on the organizing team, thank you for your incredible contributions.

See you tomorrow at Conference Day — we can’t wait to continue this amazing journey with you!

The clock is ticking — less than 24 hours to go before WordCamp Malaysia 2025 begins.

While most attendees are packing bags and planning their schedules, behind the scenes the organizing team is deep in final-prep mode. Messages are flying across group chats, checklists are being triple-checked, and last-minute details are getting ticked off one by one.

Every volunteer has their task — registration desk, hall setup, speaker support, wayfinding, photography — each role quietly critical to keeping the two days running smoothly.

There’s a certain calm chaos to this stage of preparation. Some of us are focused on logistics — signage placement, schedule boards, technical setups — while others are coordinating transport, badges, and attendee packs. Meanwhile, our communications team is busy making sure guides and announcements are ready to help everyone navigate the campus easily.

But beyond the schedules and spreadsheets, there’s something more powerful happening: a shared sense of purpose. This entire event exists because of a community that believes in collaboration, learning, and giving back. Every hour spent preparing is powered purely by passion for WordPress and the people who use it.

As exhaustion starts to mix with excitement, we remind ourselves why we’re here — to create a welcoming space for connection, learning, and inspiration for everyone attending WordCamp Malaysia 2025.

In just a few more hours, the halls of Sunway University will be filled with conversations, laughter, and the unmistakable energy of the WordPress community. All the behind-the-scenes hustle will suddenly make perfect sense.

From all of us on the organizing team — we can’t wait to welcome you.

See you very soon at #WCMY25!
