\n

who runs it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community, not a company<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A not-for-profit event, put together by the WordPress community in Bengaluru. Nobody on this page is paid for any of it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

what they do otherwise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engineers, teachers, founders<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designers as well, and a banking professional. The day jobs have very little in common with each other.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

how long they have been at it<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2009, and since last year<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some have been contributing to WordPress for over fifteen years. Others joined the community far more recently.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is what they do with the rest of their time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sixteen people, in alphabetical order<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The order means nothing beyond the alphabet. Every card opens that person\u2019s full profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
