The Developers' Bakery

GlotDict, Wordpress and Mozilla with Daniele Scasciafratte


Listen Later

Today I’m excited to have on stage Daniele Scasciafratte, the Open Source Multiversal Guy. Daniele is involved all over the places: he’s a WordPress core contributor, a Mozilla contributor, and the author of the book “Contribute to open source: the right way”.

In this episode, we start from GlotDict, a browser extension Daniele wrote to support WordPress translators. But that’s just the starting point! We’ll touch on what is means to be a WordPress core contributor, how Mozilla is different from WordPress and the love/hate relationship we all have with PHP.

Daniele also wrote an Open Source book: “Contribute to open source: the right way”. This book is like a survival guide for any Open Source newcomer. We’ll talk about how the book came to be and what are the main takeaways from it.

Enjoy the show 👨‍🍳
