I was trying to learn about different ways on how to contribute to the WordPress project, tried to submit a patch to the core, just a simple inline docs contribution for WordPress 4.8 (Evans) release.

I’m happy to see my name in an open source project used by millions of people 🙂 It excites me to contribute more to the software.

Also want to contribute to the WordPress core? Check out the good first bugs from here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/tickets/good-first-bugs
