Our WordPress Contributions

rtCamp's WordPress roots extend back to the success it had with a popular technical blog started in 2006. WordPress' open community and culture paved the way to start rtCamp.

Since its inception rtCamp has only worked on WordPress, while encouraging every rtCamper to contribute back to WordPress core and community.

We have a WordPress core contribution from an rtCamper for every single WordPress release since version 3.6, right up to the latest version 4.6.

Read about how we recently celebrated our core contributions.

Theme Review Team

WordPress in Education

Rahul is part of an official committee that gives inputs for engineering curriculum at COEP - one of India's most reputed engineering institutes. He actively advocates the inclusion of open-source and WordPress in education. He hopes to encourage students to contribute to the WordPress core and other open source projects.

WPVeda

rtCampers are building an open-source book called WpVeda with the intention of making it easy for anyone to become a WordPress expert on their own.

Alumni

The community-oriented culture at rtCamp fosters a love for WordPress and open-source that remains with rtCampers throughout their professional and personal lives. rtCampers, both past and present, are regular contributors to the WordPress ecosystem. They have to their credit core contributions, theme reviews, translations, in addition to being attendees, speakers and organisers at WordCamps and meetups in the cities they live in.

Here are some of our experiences at various WordCamps.
