Contributing to WordPress.org
Why you (and your company) should
publish plugins at WordPress.org
Otto Kekäläinen
@ottokekalainen
WordCamp Finland
Tampere 8.5.2015
37 677 plugins at wordpress.org
Free for anybody to use
Why do it?
It's fun
..and easy
and
exciting!
Statistics
Automatic
updates
Improve your code quality
Peer review,just like in science!
Linus law
 “Given enough eyes all bugs are shallow”
Testing,bug reports,multi-environment
quality assurance..
..but if you release code that is total crap,it
will most likely remain just that!
Get contributors
There is nothing like the smell of fresh
pull requests in the morning...
Yes,some people are willing to write code
for you (but not your whole project)
Learn from others,with others
When your code is in the open,you'll get
opportunities to discuss it,get feedback,
improve it –and yourself
When you are open,others will approach
you
If you lend shoes to a friend they might
wear out.Ideas are the opposite –the
more you use it,the more it creates value!
Get respect and admiration
Potential customers
Potential employees
Potential employers
Something to impress
girls/boys in the bar with?
At least at a WP conference!
Seriously,you want this
Recap: Why?
1. It's fun
2. Improve your code quality
3. Get contributors
4. Learn from others,with others
5. Build reputation
How?
