Thank you to all of our volunteers!
Our event was a resounding success, and we are delighted that the following websites were produced with the help of our do_action() teams.
G.I.F.T (Giving Independence for Tomorrow)
A massive shout out to our Project Managers who were integral to getting these sites live after the event, and a huge thank you to the team from House Digital for their assistance finishing off some of the sites.
What is a Do_Action Charity Hackathon?
Over the course of one day, groups of volunteers from the local WordPress community and the participating non-profit organisations will come together to plan, design and build them a brand new, high quality & professional website.
Awesome! How can I be involved?
Holding an event like this relies on the whole community to come together. While the 2020 event is done and dusted, we’re hoping to hold another equally awesome event in 2021. If you’d like to be involved, we’ve left the details from this event below for your information.
Become a Sponsor
This event is free to attend, but we do like to feed our hardworking volunteers. We expect 50-80 attendees on the day.
If you would like to sponsor, you can head to Open Collective and click the ‘Become a Sponsor’ button and choose how much you want to contribute. We don’t have fixed sponsorship amounts, and will accept any donation above $50 AUD.
All sponsors can receive:
- Company logo on the site
- Company description on the site
- Link to company website from the site
- Logo on a slide projected during the event
- Tweets and/or posts to Facebook about your company
- Thanks in pre- and post-event emails
- Thank you in opening or closing remarks
Find out more general information about do_action hackathons at the page and video here or contact the team on doaction@wpperth.org if you have any questions.
Volunteer
It takes lots of hands working together to build a single website in a day, let alone a bunch of them. Each website will be built by a team of 5-6 people filling the following roles:
- Project managers (one per team)
- Designers
- Developers
- Content Creators
- QA Testers
While we will be aiming to fill these roles for each team, we would love to hear from you if you have other skills you feel would contribute. For example, it would be great to have a photographer or two!
If you’re in Perth and have some experience with, or interest in, WordPress – we want YOU! Apply to join a team below. If you’re not sure where to apply, please contact us at doaction@wpperth.org.
