In a recent interview for the Amazing Teams Podcast, WebDevStudios CEO Brad Williams discusses our involvement with Five for the Future over the past 10 years.
“We basically dedicate the last Friday of the month, and it’s all hands, and we just contribute to WordPress,” Brad says. “It’s a great break from the client grind for our team. They can work on passion projects, maybe do something a little different than they normally do any given day of the week, or maybe just take a break from coding.”
He goes on to say that the nature of open-source technology, such as WordPress, requires its community to give back to it in order for it to flourish. And that’s what the WebDevStudios (WDS) team is doing tomorrow, March 29th. We’re giving back to WordPress.
Giving Back to WordPress Through Five for the Future
Participating in Five for the Future is more than an act of generosity. It’s a vital investment in the sustainability and growth of WordPress as a platform.
By allocating resources to the Five for the Future (5FTF) initiative, individuals and organizations contribute directly to the enhancement of WordPress core, plugins, themes, and the broader ecosystem. This collective effort fosters innovation, improves security, and enhances the overall user experience for millions of WordPress users worldwide.
Moreover, active participation in 5FTF reinforces the spirit of community and collaboration that lies at the heart of WordPress, strengthening bonds between developers, designers, users, and contributors. Ultimately, giving back through initiatives like 5FTF enriches the WordPress platform and ensures its longevity and relevance in an ever-evolving digital world.
WDS 5FTF Contributions
Our team members contribute to 5FTF in a variety of ways. Sometimes they share it on social media. Here’s a sample of some the ways our team gave back to WordPress in February.
