The WP Open Community Collective develops programs that directly support open source contributors to ensure the long-term health of the open source ecosystem .
The WPOCC creates programs in collaboration with our members and our partners that support innovation and sustainability within the open source ecosystem, including software, communities and individual contributors.
The WPOCC’s programming includes four main areas, built to focus resources in alignment with the needs of open source and open source communities: Projects, Fellowships, Initiatives and Rapid Response.
Projets
Les projets constituent des initiatives ciblées visant à développer des outils, des ressources et des infrastructures destinés à soutenir certains projets et communautés open source.
Chaque projet suit un processus de développement axé sur les membres afin de définir clairement son périmètre, notamment le calendrier, le budget, les livrables et les rôles de chacun.
When developing projects, The WPOCC prioritizes paid contributor roles, filled by individuals who bring the expertise needed to complete the work and funded through sponsorship and fundraising.
Projects within the scope of in-house resources, such as staff or the Board of Directors, or that can’t be otherwise funded may be handled internally with The WPOCC team and board members.
Bourses
Each Fellowship focuses on specific contributor areas, such as accessibility, documentation, or security. Fellows are a paid role appointed by Members of The WPOCC for a specified term, usually six months or longer.
While Fellows may intersect with and work on projects for The WPOCC, the role of the Fellow is to provide ongoing, sustained contributions in their area of focus.
Initiatives
Initiatives are where The WPOCC puts our values into action and supports the community beyond tangible project outcomes. Each initiative focuses on a theme, such as contributor recognition, sustainability, or equity, and provides a container for multiple campaigns across time and events.
Ces initiatives visent à mettre en avant, à valoriser et à soutenir les contributeurs individuels, ce qui contribue à son tour à la bonne santé de l'écosystème open source dans son ensemble.
Réponse rapide
Il arrive parfois que les membres de la communauté open source ou WordPress soient confrontés à des besoins urgents. Il peut s'agir d'une faille de sécurité critique, d'une opportunité inattendue ou d'un manque de main-d'œuvre imprévu parmi les contributeurs.
Rapid Response is The WPOCC’s way of meeting those needs quickly. These are small-dollar funds designed to provide one-time, targeted support to The WPOCC member community. Every Rapid Response request is voted on directly by The WPOCC members.
