WordPress Origin Story

I started contributing in 2015, mainly in the Accessibility Team, because that is where my passion is. I have helped in writing a part of the Accessibility Handbook, and worked on Tickets in both Meta and Core. In addition I organise the Berlin WordPress Meetup and was a Co-Organizer of WordCamp Berlin.

Sometimes I translate Themes or Plugins and I love to Speak at WordCamps about Accessibility

In the last couple years I have not been contribute as much, but I would love to start again. Mainly in Accessibility for testing Themes and new Core Features. Also I have been asked to train and create video content on how to test themes for the accessibility-ready-tag.

At the moment I can only contribute 5 hours per week, but I would love to contribute more again and because of that, I’m looking for a sponsorship for Accessibility.

Contributions

Maja Benke contributes 5 hours per week to the Accessibility team.
