These programs are educational in nature and intended to increase understanding about WordPress, free software, and open source development.
Some programs under consideration for funding include:
- Video recording of WordCamp and meetup group presentations
- Intro to Open Source workshops, spreading knowledge and understanding of the open web and open source in parts of the world with less participation in open source
- Charity hackathons, in which volunteers come together to build websites for non-profit organizations
- Live and/or video workshops on how to use and develop for WordPress
- School mentorship programs to encourage interest in WordPress/open source development
- Improving documentation about how to use and develop for WordPress
