If you build with WordPress, the October developer roundup is worth a read. WordPress 7.2 Beta 1 lands on October 20, and you can already test the new default theme, Ipsum, plus the design tools now enabled across nearly every Core block. https://wp.me/pe6QtA-1Ft

What would help your event welcome more student builders?
A proposed education framework for 2027 explores practical ways to support student participation at flagship and other major WordCamps, starting with WordCamp Asia.
Where could student showcases or contribution workshops fit in your schedule? What support could help students attend? Your experience can help shape an approach that works across events.

WordCamp Asia 2027 has opened its call for emcees. Emcees welcome attendees, introduce speakers, and keep sessions running to schedule across the event. It is a visible way to contribute to one of the largest WordPress community gatherings in the region, and a good fit for anyone confident presenting to a live audience. Applications close November 27. https://wp.me/phbdcX-1OE

Designer and developer Alexander Agnarson created UFO Timeline as a research guide to unidentified flying objects and related phenomena. The site dates posts to the events they document, turning WordPress year archives into a centuries-long chronology. A custom theme adds filters, category colors, image cards, search, embedded videos, and source links. https://wp.me/pmwwI-3IR
#WordPressShowcase
WordCamps are run by local WordPress communities, and the only real requirement is curiosity. Talks, workshops, hallway conversations, and sometimes a Contributor Day where you can help with documentation, translation, design, or testing. WordCamp Asia 2027 lands in Penang, Malaysia, April 9 to 11, 2027.
You don’t need to write code to contribute to WordPress. First-timers at Contributor Day have answered 2 forum questions, suggested 6 translated strings, or fixed an outdated paragraph in the documentation. If you use WordPress, you already know more about it than most people. Here’s where to start. https://wp.me/phbdcX-1NL
