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.
Projetos
Os projetos são iniciativas específicas destinadas a desenvolver ferramentas, recursos e infraestruturas de apoio a projetos e comunidades de código aberto selecionados.
Cada projeto passa por um processo de desenvolvimento centrado nos membros, com o objetivo de definir um âmbito claro do projeto, incluindo o calendário, o orçamento, os resultados esperados e as funções de cada um.
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.
Bolsas de estudo
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.
Iniciativas
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.
Estas iniciativas visam proporcionar visibilidade, reconhecimento e apoio aos colaboradores individuais, o que, por sua vez, contribui para a saúde do ecossistema de código aberto em geral.
Resposta rápida
Por vezes, os membros da comunidade de código aberto ou do WordPress deparam-se com necessidades urgentes. Por vezes, surge uma vulnerabilidade crítica, uma oportunidade inesperada ou uma lacuna imprevista na capacidade dos colaboradores.
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.
