Naoko Takano discussed growing the WordPress community and successful contribution. She explained that the WordPress community benefits everyone as it consists of all contributors. Contributing provides professional development, a sense of belonging, and opportunities to meet others with similar interests. Best practices include doing what you enjoy, working as a team, getting others involved, relying on others, documenting work, and keeping a long-term, optimistic focus. The presentation encouraged attendees to get involved through Make.WordPress.org, local meetups, and additional learning resources.
