WordPress Origin Story

I entered the WordPress community through my work at Yoast. In 2016, I really started started to feel part of the community when I visited the first WordCamp Torino. I was blown away by the energy and enthusiasm of the Italian WordPress community and really found a home within WordPress (Ciao Francesca, Giustino, Luca, Cristiano, Antonio, Andrea, Franz, Dennis and many others!). Since then, I try to visit at least one Italian WordCamp every year. I kept making friends (also outside of Italy) and became an active contributor to WordPress. My favorite WordPress events are contributor days. I very much enjoy sitting in a room other people contributing together and talking WordPress! My favorite channel on WordPress Slack is #core-js.
