Jb Audras (@audrasjb) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I hail from Ardèche, France and I’m currently CTO at Whodunit, the #1 French WordPress agency in terms of open-source contribution to WordPress.

I’m a WordPress Core Committer and one of the two Core team representatives.

I’m currently WordPress 6.2 Core Tech co-Lead.

WordPress Origin Story

I’m using WordPress since version 2.1 “Ella”, with love.
I became French General Translation Editor of WP in 2017. I am also Widgets and Menus components maintainer since few years.

I served as WordPress Accessibility team rep over the last 2 years, took the role of release lead on half a dozen of minor releases, and helped as focus lead on WP 5.3 (accessibility lead), WP 5.4 (documentation coordinator), WP 5.5 (accessibility lead), WP 5.6 (Core auto-updates wrangler), WP 5.7 (documentation lead) 5.9 (Triage lead), and 6.1 (Triage lead).

When I’m not contributing to WordPress, I’m a rock climber and I love multi-pitch and traditional routes.

Can’t wait to meet you at the next WordCamp!
