Organizer’s message

Hello, I’m Kite, the organizer of WordCamp Kansai 2015.

We’re glad to announce that WordCamp Kansai 2015 is on schedule.

Get Involved – Meet the Future of Continuous Evolution –

WordPress has the No.1 world share of CMS (contents management system). It is used by more than 60 million people, and more than 75 million websites are served on WordPress. To make users and developers get together to share ideas and get to know each other, we are going to hold a 2 days WordCamp this year. The theme of WordCamp Kansai 2015 is “Get Involved – Meet the Future of Continuous Evolution -“. Contributors of WordPress will be featured at this Camp, and we will introduce the open source culture and the diversity of WordPress. Also, we will try to help attendees learn from each other or find new collaborators.

From casual users to developers, everybody is welcome and will have fun. We’re looking forward to seeing you.

“Get Involved”

You can find this phrase in the global menu on WordPress.org. You can get started contributing to WordPress such as core, design, documentation, theme, plugin, community, and so on from the page “Make WordPress” which is the link of “Get Involved”.

However, there is more contribution that you can do. Come and join us to share your ideas, make connections, and get involved in WordPress!
