After last week’s meeting, we have the WPHosting Meetup group opened and pending review by the Community team.

The next steps would be:

  1. Find a speaker and topic.
  2. Find a date
  3. See on which Youtube channel we are going to broadcast (if we finally do it through the official one and how).

On the other hand, we should consider opening a site to receive proposals for talks, either in English or in other languages.

Should we create a working group, outside the weekly meetings, but open on the channel, to discuss this matter? Who is interested in getting involved in all this? Please, leave a comment with your proposals.

In the first meeting, @_dorsvenabili visited us and presented the Learn WordPress project and invited us to participate in the project.

The operation of WordPress Hosting Live will be to work on the one hand from our own Meetup group, and in parallel collaborate with the Learn WordPress group.

  • By default all events will be published from meetup.com/wphosting/. Submissions, communications and main publications will be in this group.
  • In parallel, event posts will be notified from make/hosting, and will include the “embeds” of the live events.
  • When a new event is published, it will be discussed with the Learn WordPress team to make a cross-event with their group.

A first version of the operation, tools and methodologies for WordPress Hosting Live is presented in the Handbook.

@javiercasares has been talking with @_dorsvenabili about the best solution for the WordPress Hosting Live broadcast.

  1. The Hosting team’s talks that are going to be directed to “end users” could be given within the Learn WordPress Meetups, always focused with a didactic spirit. If anyone is interested in giving a talk they can talk to the Learn WordPress team or contact one of the Team Reps who will facilitate contact with the team.
  2. Hosting team talks aimed at “hosting professionals” could be done through a new Meetup channel. It is pending to pass access to the WordPress team, but I have the Meetup WordPress Hosting created.
    In the coming days the Community team will be asked to join the WordPress Meetup Pro.
  3. We would use a channel within the WordPress YouTube specifically for Hosting. For broadcasting we could use StreamYard or similar.
    It remains to talk to the Community team to see if we can make use of the channel or create our own channel.

@javiercasares will talk with the Community team to find the best solutions that the rest of the teams are currently using and thus have a common offer for all.

The proposal for the talks would be to make an introduction of 5-10 minutes by the presenters, then the talk / presentation of about 50 minutes and finally a space of about 30 minutes for questions.

The goal will be to make a monthly presentation in English, with the possibility of having interspersed presentations in other languages (@javiercasares has shown interest in making some in Spanish).

WordPress Hosting Page/Site

The Hosting team has made a proposal to the Meta team on how the new Hosting page could be updated. The goal is to propose a simpler and more standardized system when proposing a new WordPress hosting provider and that everyone has the same options.

This system is intended to facilitate the analysis and approval, which could be done by a sub team within the Hosting Team with people who are and know the world of hosting but do not work directly in any hosting company and thus avoid conflicts of interest.

In a next step the proposal would be passed to @chanthaboune for a first review and the team would be at MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress.’s disposal in case we can help more in this project.
