This mission inspires thousands of volunteers all over the world to contribute to the WordPress open source project, building and supporting the software that makes this possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as in most technology organizations, the people who <em>work on<\/em> WordPress aren\u2019t always representative of all the people who <em>use<\/em> WordPress. The majority of WordPress core developers, conference speakers, and other volunteers are young men. That\u2019s where the WordPress Diverse Speaker Training Working Group comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Breaking Down Barriers<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A group of WordPress community organizers and volunteers, led by freelance developer Jill Binder, is working to change this. They\u2019ve developed a <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/training\/handbook\/lesson-plans\/speaker-training\/\">workshop<\/a> that trains women and other people from traditionally underrepresented groups in technology who\u2019d like to present at conferences and WordCamps. These training events are organized by local WordPress meetup groups, and are always completely free of charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"41517\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/en.blog.wordpress.com\/image-6-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-6.png\" data-orig-size=\"600,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-6\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-6.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-6.png?w=600\" src=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-6.png\" alt=\"Small groups of women sitting in circles, talking and holding paper\" class=\"wp-image-41517\" \/><figcaption><em>WordPress Vancouver Speaker Training Workshop, 2015<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The workshops help attendees address some of the common barriers and fears underrepresented people have around public speaking: “I don\u2019t know what I could speak about.” “I\u2019m not an expert.” “I don\u2019t know how to write a proposal.” “I don\u2019t know how to create a presentation.” “I don\u2019t have any experience speaking in front of groups.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, the group supported and advised 55 WordPress communities in 26 different countries. New speakers were trained in 12 different WordPress meetup groups in the US, Canada, Brazil, South Africa, and Venezuela. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the communities that held this workshop experienced a real change in the speaker roster for their annual conferences; many of their WordCamps went from having 10% women speakers to having 50% or more women speakers in less than a year. In 2017, Seattle had 60% women speakers and in 2018, Vancouver had 63%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Why WordCamps?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"41518\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/en.blog.wordpress.com\/image-8-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-8.png\" data-orig-size=\"3783,2522\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image-8\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-8.png?w=300\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-8.png?w=1024\" src=\"https:\/\/en-blog.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/06\/image-8.png\" alt=\"A woman holding a microphone, in front of a lot of people with raised hands.\" class=\"wp-image-41518\" \/><figcaption><em>Jill Binder, speaking at a WordCamp<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at WordCamps is a consistent path to leadership in the WordPress community, so having more diverse speakers directly supports the goal of more diverse leadership in the WordPress open source project. WordCamps are where many WordPress enthusiasts choose to become professionals. When more people see speakers like them on stage and feel welcome in the community, a more diverse group of people participate in the WordPress project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When WordPress events are more diverse, <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/\">the WordPress project<\/a> gets more diverse \u2014 which makes WordPress better for more people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Help Us Grow This Work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Jill kicked off the Diverse Speaker Training Working Group at the beginning of 2018, and dedicated a year to it training facilitators and supporting organizers as an unpaid volunteer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, Automattic has signed on as a 50% sponsor of Jill Binder’s<a href=\"https:\/\/href.li\/?https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/community\/handbook\/meetup-organizer\/event-formats\/diversity-speaker-training-workshop\/\"> diverse speaker outreach and training work<\/a>. Her work is already making a noticeable impact on the WordPress project, and we want to make this training as accessible as possible to WordCamps globally. Like anything worth doing, this is a marathon and not a sprint \u2014 it\u2019ll take time to see a more diverse contributor pool \u2014 but we\u2019re dedicated to making sure this necessary groundwork happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Would you like to help foster diversity across the WordPress project? Automattic invites interested partners to pick up the other 50% of this project\u2019s costs. Get in touch with Jill <a href=\"http:\/\/diversein.tech\/wordpress-sponsors\/\">today!<\/a> <\/p>\n",

            "content": "\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Happy Pride Month! My favorite parts about celebrating this month are the stories shared from LGBTQ+ folks, their loved ones, and organizations looking to show support. At WordPress.com, we strive to be a platform that democratizes publishing so that anyone can share their stories <a href=\"https:\/\/ma.tt\/2018\/12\/democratize-publishing-revisited\/\">regardless of income, gender, politics, language, or where they live in the world<\/a>. This month is a great reminder for why we work hard to expand the open web. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, democratizing publishing means more than just my ability to publish my own story. It\u2019s about being able to share, but also being able to receive. As I celebrate Pride Month as a young, queer person, I think back to early online communities on which I found other LGBTQ+ people and how much I resonated with their stories. I feel lucky to be able to share my own story, but there are many LGBTQ+ folks who can\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this end, we wanted to provide resources, inspire, and highlight organizations to support as you celebrate Pride Month in your own way, whether that\u2019s seeking out stories or writing your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Resources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The LGBTQ+ community is vast \u2014 I\u2019m part of it, but I\u2019m still learning new things daily. Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or not, make sure you properly represent the community at large when you share your story with the help of these resources: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>It Gets Better Project\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/itgetsbetter.org\/blog\/lesson\/glossary\/\">Glossary<\/a><\/li><li>The Trevor Project\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrevorproject.org\/trvr_support_center\/glossary\/\">Glossary<\/a><\/li><li>ILGA Europe\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilga-europe.org\/resources\/glossary\/letter_a\">Glossary<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.blog.wordpress.com\/2018\/08\/02\/diverse-stock-photo-library-pexels\/\">We know how important it is<\/a> to find an image that perfectly fits your writing and, since stock-image libraries <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@NikkyMill\/where-to-find-free-stock-photos-of-people-of-color-f262b851a1b5\">have historically struggled<\/a> to represent all experiences, we wanted to share some free image options to ease your search this month:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/broadlygenderphotos.vice.com\/\">The Gender Spectrum Collection<\/a> from Vice<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/search\/gay%20pride\/\">Pexels\u2019 Pride Images<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/search\/lgbt\/\">Pexels\u2019 LGBT Images<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Have any resources to recommend?
