  • The goal of this meeting was to take inventory of contributions that are currently or could potentially be carried out by members of our global team. In addition to inventorizing, the idea is to map contributions to so-called stages of volunteer engagement.
  • That way, we will be better equipped to match tasks with contributors, which will hopefully improve the contributor experience and contributor retention. Once the tasks are mapped to stages of engagement, a next step will be documenting procedures for as many of the recurring tasks as possible.
  • We are in the final stages of planning a follow-session to continue working on  this. If you would like to learn more about the stages of volunteer engagement, please check out this talk from Josepha

Meeting Notes

Each week we have a contributor who has been with us for a while draft notes supported by one of the working groups. This is then worked on further by the wider group by Saturday morning and used to plan follow-ups, report back to linked teams, give feedback, and plan actions by the Monday 11:00 UTC meeting.

We now have a rota of volunteers to help with this initial draft. We are increasingly writing our updates for team meetings in such a way that they make it easier to be used in our new system of notes and actions and simply copied to the draft notes.

A big thanks to @chaion07 for doing last week’s notes. 

➤ How can I help?

You can volunteer to be a note-taker for one of the future meetings. We currently have a rota. Please note that the initial draft is needed by the end of Friday each week.

Facebook oEmbed Update

Update via: @yvettesonneveld

Facebook is deprecating the open oEmbed code that allows WordPress users to embed WordPress posts. Come October, these embeds will start showing up as links only. Previously embedded posts should remain unchanged. It looks like the next minor version of WordPress (5.5.x) will already discontinue support of the Facebook blocks. If you’d like to read more about this, I’ll add links in the thread. Since this may cause confusion and frustration for users, the release MarComms team recommended  creating content targeted to informing non-technical users. We will keep you posted on next steps.
