Every Penny Counts - Norway Edition

WordPress is nothing without the numerous amounts of contributions that have made it into the CMS that it is today. When someone tells you that anyone can contribute to WordPress you may not believe them. In this talk Jenny will show you how every contribution counts, and explain the different ways you can start contributing back to the open source project we all love so much.

This talk is catered to the WordCamp Norway 2015
