This document summarizes a WordPress meetup in Surat, India on June 11, 2017. The speaker, Alkesh Miyani, discusses why contributing to WordPress is important by helping others as well as yourself. He outlines some good practices for contributing like following coding standards and providing documentation. Miyani focuses on three main ways to get involved: providing support by answering questions, helping improve documentation, and sharing knowledge by public speaking. The goal is to make WordPress better by celebrating your own contributions to the platform.
