<\/a><\/p>\nAlthough the attendance wasn’t very high and we didn’t manage a lot of contributions at the end of the day, Joshua Abenazer from 10up<\/a> enlightened all of us to various ways of contributing to the WordPress project.<\/p>\n With the questions and answers taking up most of the time, we only managed to add a couple of translations. However, we plan to build upon Joshua’s good work and add more to the project in the near future.<\/p>\n A short, crisp but still filled with knowledge, Sagar<\/a>‘s session was well appreciated and we had enough time for an encore and another!

A couple of them were first timers and have been selected to speak at WordCamp Pune 2015. You’ll hear about them soon.<\/p>\n We have a Part – II scheduled on Saturday the 25th and may more activities. Watch this space for more!<\/p>\n We’re so excited about WordCamp Pune this year, as we hope you are too.
