    I donated money to WordPress.org because I felt that it was important to vote with my wallet. Also, even though WordPress is free, I like it so well that I’m willing to pay to use it. And, of course, I write that after having started on another piece of blogging software and dropping them when they altered their EULA significantly enough to be bothersome to me.
    I hope to have a theme or two available eventually, and I already have two plugins that are available, though only through my sites.

    WordPress may not *need* my support, particularly, but I’m glad to give it.

    I bought the hoodie and the cup! Now I need the t-shirt. :D

    Oh you bet!

    I’m organizing WordCamp NYC right now and it’s going to be awesome! Can’t wait for it all to come together.

    Even people who wouldn’t know PHP if they fell over it (like me) can answer questions on the WP forum. There are always people looking for plugins, themes and basic things that are documented in the Codex. Answering those basic questions frees up the more knowledgable members to answer questions that require expertise.

    Oh no, my theme didn’t have a WordPress credit. How did I miss that? I feel dirty. Gonna fix this fast.

    Another great article Jeffro.

    I’ve contributed via 8 of the 24 ways you’ve listed here and am working on contributing to even more in due time.

    Always enjoy your posts—keep up the good work.

    I also think that recommending WorPress to friends that are looking for options to iniate their websites is a great idea. I have been doing this for quite some time and my friends are more than happy with it.

    Dont forget to translate wp plugins.

    Just wanted to throw these out as well. Coders can also help out on the WordPress Trac. And for those wanting to start their own WordPress forums, they can get the bbPress software to do so.

  11. Frederick (3 comments.) says:

    Great ideas; I’m doing some of these things already.

  12. WordPress Themes (1 comments.) says:

    You can create WordPress-Themes via http://iStylr.com. It’s easy and free and you can share your theme with the wp-community.

  13. Jason (75 comments.) says:

    Conducting WP Meetups is certainly a great way to build the local community. I’m currently working on putting something like this together in the Nagoya, Japan area with friends, and it should be a great opportunity for both English and Japanese bloggers to get together and share some of the things they’ve accomplished (or hope to accomplish) with their sites.

    Depending on turnout for the casual meetups, perhaps a WordCamp Nagoya can be arranged for sometime in 2009 :P

  14. Dr. Mike Wendell (3 comments.) says:

    Maybe if Matt would stop chasing away those who want to help, more people would actually take the time to help. His poor respect towards those who go out of their way to offer assistance has droven away many folks.

    Would be nice to see reports sent to the security address actually get a response though. From reviewing the previous reports made public, most of them get a line mentioning that the discoverer never hears back from the developers. I know in my own reported case, I never heard back from them.

  15. that girl again (41 comments.) says:

    Nobody is really morally bereft enough to take #5 seriously, are they? Why would you chuck money at a multimillion dollar corporation rather than giving it to an actual charity which needs it? If wordpress.org were a charitable foundation you might have a case, but that idea appears to have been silently shelved.

    That donate page is a legacy from when wordpress was a growing OS project struggling to pay the bills; it’s not linked anywhere on the actual site anymore and its continuing existence is presumably an oversight. Things have moved on. If for some reason you feel compelled to give Automattic money, buy an upgrade for your favourite wordpress.com blogger or click on the next ad you see on wordpress.com. (This is not a hint.)

  16. Truden (23 comments.) says:

    25. Create WordPress fan web sites hoping that Automattic Inc. wont try to close it as they are trying to do with WordPress.Mu

  17. Mike Robinson (3 comments.) says:

    I do a few of these things, such as hang out in the IRC channel and blogging about WordPress, but not nearly as much as I feel I should in order to make a difference. There just isn’t the time, maybe I should try to set aside a couple of hours a week to get stuck in to the WP community.

  18. Top Rated (4 comments.) says:

    How about, setup a WP blog for your mom, and show her how to blog ;)

  19. bsimons07@gmail.com (1 comments.) says:

    Most of us help wordpress from one way or another. As an open source it opens many possibilities to these who want to improve the way it work today.

  20. Jan (15 comments.) says:

    What about using the WordPress favicon? I think it would also be a good idea to use it on self-hosted blogs.

  21. Nugroho Adi Pratama (1 comments.) says:

    i think by using wordpress CMS we already help wordpress.org, the CMS contain link to wordpress.org right ?

  22. Diet Blog (2 comments.) says:

    Great ideas! I’m sure if I hadn’t read this I could only have thought of 5 ways or so. I’m actually thinking of getting a wordpress shirt, but I think my girlfriend would laugh me out of the house.
