It’s time for another rundown of the accomplishments that our team at WebDevStudios (WDS) has achieved through our Five for the Future (#5ftf) efforts, whereby we donate 5% of company time to WordPress and the community. We each do this in our own way, from developing plugins available for download in the WordPress repository to speaking at WordCamps to offering solutions for users who have submitted support tickets—we are determined to help make the web and WordPress better.
In April, we dedicated the 27th to #5ftf. In May, we devoted a day during our company retreat, know as WDS Camp. And because we enjoy tweeting our #5ftf endeavors, here is a sample of those tweets and our participation. Our next Five for the Future day is this Friday, June 22. You are welcomed to join us. Read this blog post for ways that you can contribute to #5ftf. As always, follow us on Twitter, and keep up with the Five for the Future hashtag to see what we’re up to on Friday.

My #5FTF time today has been getting spent on reviewing and documenting filter and action hooks in @buddypress Nouveau theme files. Thanks @webdevstudios for granting a Friday to tackle this topic.

Went down a 🐇🕳 during #5FTF today and pieced together a PHP 5.2 docker container to do backwards-compatibility testing: https://t.co/JFvHLAnTQW. Some my @webdevstudios compatriots might be annoyed, but let’s hope it’s obsoleted soon
