Mentorship Program: Introduction to the WordPress Open Source Project

WordPress is an open source software that is built by a group of volunteers all over the world. It might be surprising to know that the software that powers over 40% of the internet is powered by a vibrant community all over the world. Everything around the WordPress open source project resolves around the website: https://wordpress.org

The WordPress project is huge and is built and maintained by a bunch of contributors all over the world. Development of WordPress happens in the open, and anyone can help build the software.
