Kolkata WordPress Community
Kolkata WordPress Community is proud to have the status of an official chapter of WordPress Central, USA. There are 700+ official chapters worldwide and we are one of them! WordPress Central awarded our community the official status back in 2018.
At present, our community is enjoying a member strength of 2062 members. We have been arranging free community meetups every month since 2017 under the supervision of WordPress Central. We encourage you to visit our official page on meetup at https://www.meetup.com/KolkataWordPressMeetups/. This will give you a better idea about our activities for the last 6-7 years. However, during the pandemic, like others, we could not arrange in-person meetups regularly.
Meetups are the building blocks of a versatile and active community. We always try to bring in new and young faces to make things more dynamic and engaging for the current generation. Every activity and event in the WordPress ecosystem is 100% community-driven.
What do we do?
We organise local, free WordPress meetups in Kolkata every month to create a space where you can learn from experts, get advice for any problem in your WordPress projects, and collaborate with individuals for freelancing or full-time gigs, without spending anything. In 2019, we took a big step to organise the first Kolkata WordCamp, (also the first in East India). The event was a big success and we repeated the same in 2022. In January 2024, we tried doing something different, a NextGen Pilot project, a CareerCamp 2024, helping final-year students and freshers to increase their chances of exploring and interacting with potential companies.
Beyond local meetups and annual WordCamps, we also actively contribute to the WordPress ecosystem. We actively contribute to WordPress polyglots, translating the platform to make WordPress more accessible and break down the language barrier. We also contribute to WordPress Core, themes, plugins, documentation, and WPTV. We also added a full Contribution Day in 2022 WordCamp allowing the attendees to give back to WordPress. With all our efforts, we are constantly trying WordPress to provide a better user experience for everyone.
This time we are back WordCamp Kolkata 2025. The stage is set and we are ready to host the 3rd in-person WordCamp at the City of Joy, Kolkata, on 18th January 2025. All we need now is your generous support to help us make this much-awaited event a reality and end the year on a high note.
