10up has opened over 170 repositories, sharing full-featured WordPress plugins like Distributor—which simplifies sharing content across websites—to vulnerability scanning tools and command-line scripts for auditing PDF accessibility. Sharing our tools makes the wider web better, and transparent code open to outside contribution improves our solutions.
WordPress is one of the biggest open source projects on the web, behind ~40% of websites. For over a decade we’ve been one of the largest contributors. Dozens of our engineers contribute to WordPress, with several leading major releases. 4 out of the 100 developers in the world who can directly make changes to WordPress work here.
We donate over 7,000 hours annually to shipping and contributing to open source, community projects, and code freedom. Our dedicated Open Source Practice has a mission to ensure we give back to the platforms we rely on, actively maintain our open sourced solutions, and help all of our engineers share back innovative work with the wider web.
Every year, we travel the globe to volunteer and speak at industry events, from national WordCamps to international cloud conferences. We share our thinking far beyond single events: whether it’s our renowned Engineering Best Practices or unpacking UX research tools, clients and colleagues constantly find our expertise when searching for answers.
We believe that an open, collaborative internet and the democratization of publishing – making the tools for building and telling stories simple and affordable – have been the engine of a web renaissance. It is incumbent upon those who succeed on the backs of these platforms to ensure their success. And do we: by donating hundreds of thousands of dollars annually by way of code contributions, open sourcing our own innovative projects, sponsoring and volunteering at events, and sharing our expertise.
It’s not just good citizenship: it’s good business. Our leadership in support of projects like WordPress demands a mastery of these platforms like no other team. Our culture attracts leaders that share our values and passions, and see their work as more than a paycheck. Our clients know that part of every dollar they spend goes to the free platforms their businesses depend on.
