Instead of attending a talk or workshop, you&#8217;ll have the opportunity to connect with an <strong>Open-Source Book<\/strong> and learn from their journey, experiences, and insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More than just code<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open source is about more than writing code or completing contribution tasks. It&#8217;s about collaboration, mentorship, community, and the stories that inspire people to contribute. Whether you&#8217;re curious about getting involved with WordPress, looking for guidance, or simply interested in hearing someone else&#8217;s perspective, the Open-Source Library offers a welcoming space for thoughtful conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience is open to all Contributor Day attendees, whether it&#8217;s your first WordCamp or you&#8217;ve been contributing for years. Everyone is welcome to listen, ask questions, share ideas, and learn from one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay tuned for our list of &#8220;Books&#8221;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re currently preparing our lineup of <strong>Open-Source Books<\/strong>, and we&#8217;ll be announcing them soon. Each book will bring unique experiences and conversation topics, giving attendees the opportunity to learn from different perspectives across the WordPress community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
