Introductions and Welcome

In attendance: @rkohilakis @arasae @courane01 @azhiyadev @alexstine @onealtr @tantienhime

Welcoming the newcomers joining the team (Slack usernames): @thomassausen @Reetu @Gianluca Barranca @Amanda McElvain @Yeasin Arafat @Devin Maeztri

News

  1. Welcome and Help Scout Wranglers – we are still looking for team members interested in managing account access to Learn/Training team sites, and answering any questions for new people. This could also include helping new team members draft meeting recaps, pointing them to specific content in the handbook, and more. Interested? Let us know!
  2. Meeting Note Takers – @kemmy99 volunteered this week to write the recap post. This can be done during meeting or within a day or so after meetings are concluded. We are still seeking additional volunteers, and perhaps we would like to build a regular rotation of folks willing to do this task. It’s a great way to get started and contribute to the team.
  3. A Dedicated Volunteer Program for the Training Team – This could use additional comments. This would be similar to the deputies in #community-team but with roles and tasks specific to the Training team needs. @arasae likes the idea of a rotation. People can learn what to expect before they do it for the first time.
  4. Meeting Time Changes – If you haven’t voted, please do this now. @azhiyadev will share the results before the end of the meeting.
  5. Contributor Days –with WP Engine. In conjunction with WP Engine, the Training will host an onboarding session for contributors interested in working on Learn.WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/. WP Engine will host this from 8 am PDT on October 29 to 8 am PDT on October 31. This is an open opportunity for ALL contributors, not specific to this organization. All are welcome to come and learn how to get started creating content on LearnWP. If you would like to help promote the event reshare the following:

    3. https://twitter.com/bgardner/status/1452736396859428867 
  6. Documentation for faculty program with Automattic – the week of November 8, @hughlashbrooke, @arasae, @rkohilakis, @west7, and more will be working on handbook documentation for all the workflows and processes our team goes through for all the content on Learn. If you are interested, comment in #training on Slack.  More details to come soon on when these folks will be working on this.
  7. Comments needed on GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ about Workshops

October Retrospective

  1. What went well?
  2. What could we improve?
  3. What will we do to differently?

Responses

@rkohilakis

  1. I’m glad that I broke up my Settings workshop into smaller chunks.  It will make it easier for learners looking for a specific piece of how to use settings and allowed me to make it more scenario based.
  2. Now that I’m getting the hang of my new job, contributing to the training team, and making workshops – I want to make sure the content I am contributing is super relevant to what is going on with the rest of the WordPress world 

@arasae

I really appreciate the amount of thoughtful work that is going into everything. Looking at the list of accomplishments makes me feel so proud of ya’ll. Let’s keep that going!

  1. As I work on my own course + the “how to make a course”, I want to figure out a better way to break it down that makes it more manageable and chunked.
  2. Still working on the “how” as far as manageable and chunked.

@courane01

  1. Well: Videos in my personal backlog published
  2. Improve: I am setting aside content creation time as a separate contribution on my own calendar that is not to be interrupted by other ways I contribute and sticking to it. Basically, having times I do behind the scenes whatever stuff vs content creation time.
  3. Differently: hm, thinking about that still.

@azhiyadev

  1. The idea to convert existing lesson plans into video workshops has resulted in more content being produced. I’m looking forward to seeing all our Lesson plans (where possible) have a corresponding video workshop. The engagement that we’ve had with Yoast and GoDaddy Contributor days – I want to see more of these.
  2. I think we still need to work on our onboarding process and I’m so happy that we’ve got the videos on creating a lesson plan and video workshop.
  3. Getting a better handle of the activity on GitHub, I need dedicate time to this. Remove the unnecessary sections in our Sprint where there is no activity so that it is easier to read.

November Sprint

Here’s a preview link (as it is not yet posted). If you want us to remove something, please let the team know.

You may notice that we’ve listed a number of Lesson Plans under “Audit”. The majority of these are branded content,  that could be published. There is a number that needs to be vetted to ensure they meet our brand guidelines and have been given the go-ahead by the company.

There are at least 3 lesson plans that could potentially be published and may only require a few updates:

  1. Coding Best Practice
  2. Introduction to Common Plugins
  3. Building a Sitemap for a Site –

If you are interested in working on these, please us know https://learn.wordpress.org/workshop/how-to-create-a-lesson-plan/. The November Sprint is set to be published on November 1, 2021. There is time to add or remove items.

  • @arasae is going to work on video workshops for:
    • Video Workshops:
      • Migrate, Copy, or Clone a Site
      • Adding Demo Content
      • Keeping WP Websites Secure
    • Lesson Plans
      • QueryLoops which can then be turned into a video workshop
    • Courses
  • @roxy is going to work on a Full Site Editing course for Users
  • @Courtney will be helping to create lesson plans as well

Open Discussion

@rkohilakis asked about threading in meetings as the #acessiblity team avoids this. @alexstine that it was more of a visual thing. Some people may have trouble visually identifying if a message contains a thread. The team decided to keep attendance organized in a thread and aim not to thread other things.

Results of Team Meeting Time Changes Poll

  1. EMEA and Amercias will meet at 5PM UTC.
  2. @hughlashbrook will announce the APAC meeting time.

Documentation Sprint

In light of planning for the Faculty program – a dedicated and trained volunteer program for the Training team – we need to make some real progress on documenting all of the great work that this team does. After all – you can’t have a dedicated volunteer team without documentation!

To that end, I have put together a sheet for tracking which docs we need and what their current status is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XicSs4YWogmptQgqd1raZSVTQQZ8KTfswfPDKiZwN2A/edit

We can use this sheet as a base and work in separate Google Docs for each document.

A Focused Sprint

In order to really kickstart this process, we’re going to hold a focused documentation sprint from 10 – 12 November 2021.

The sprint will be across all time zones and will take place in the #training channel in the Making WordPress Slack group. The Automattic sponsored team – that’s @hlashbrooke, @rkohilakis, @west7, and @arasae – will be spending dedicated time on this project during those days and we invite you to join us!

We would love to get all of the documentation done during this time, but if not we will work to complete it as soon after the sprint as possible.

If there are any docs not mentioned in the sheet then please comment here or add them directly to the sheet itself (it’s open for editing). Anyone is welcome to begin work on these docs right now – you don’t need to wait for the sprint to start! Just make a note in the sheet that you’re doing it and mention it in the #training channel so the team is aware of your work.

Looking forward to getting this done alongside all of you!

#documentation, #sprint

The agenda for the meeting can be found here.

Introductions and Welcome

In attendance: @azhiyadev @courane01 @nikhiljoshua @onealtr @peteringersoll @tantienhime @arasae @rkohilakis @webcommsat

Welcome to the following:

News

  1. Welcome and Support Flow Wranglers – we are still looking for team members interested in managing account access to Learn/Training team sites, and answering any questions for new people. This could also include helping new team members draft meeting recaps, pointing them to specific content in the handbook, and more. Interested? Let us know!
  2. Meeting Note Takers – We haven’t had any meeting notes for a few weeks now and urgently need help with this. It is a great way to learn more about the Training Team and what we are working on. Interested? Let us know!
  3. A Dedicated Volunteer Program for the Training Team – this is similar to the deputies in #community-team but specific to Learn/Training. Comments on this have now closed. A8C will be hosting a session to document all the work that goes into Learn WordPress management. This has been scheduled for the week beginning 8th November. Exact times and dates to be communicated. Everyone is invited.
  4. Meeting Time Changes – Please let us know your preference for future meetings by completing our poll. We will close the poll at next week’s meeting and annouce the results after the meeting.
  5. Contributor Days – these are open opportunities for our team and anyone interested to participate.
    1. Contribute2WP with WP Engine – Sign up forms are on the WP Engine post, and this is awaiting review from their team. Many will be new to contributing and Learn itself. @rkohilakis is going to work on some instructional design ideas that could help out. This will hopefully develop into a workflow around working with Subject Matter Experts.
    2. Documentation for faculty program with Automattic – we will await more info on the Automattic contributor session will occur during the week of November 8.
  6. Comments needed on GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ about Workshops – this is a continuation of the video production quality.

Badges Awarded

These folks have contributed content, community outreach, and more over the past few months. Check out your .org profiles @peteringersoll @binarygary @hughlashbrooke @rkohilakis @west7 @arasae

October Sprint

Progress

  1. Learn Content- the following workshops have now been published:
    1. How to create a Post of Page with the WordPress Block Editor @west7
    2. Managing Settings: General @rkohilakis
    3. We need start a workflow to promote these. During Yoast’s contributor dayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/., @abhanonstopnewsuk @vimes1984, @yvettesonneveld and others began drafting social media posts to promote each published item on Learn. We’d will continue sharing what is published and ready for promotion. This will be held in #marketing after their team meeting which starts at 14:00 UTC.
  2. Learn Maintenance
    1. Check out the list of open Learn issues on GitHub. If you are interested in helping out then please let us know.

Check-in

@courane01 is going to write a lesson plan, create a workshop vid, get her workshop subtitled, and work on the Training team course.

@rkohilakis will be breaking down the Admin Setting lesson plan into smaller video chunks as the original video was too long. She has also hosted her first discussion group. She will continue to keep updating the Setting workshops and plan for another meeting. For those interested in running a discussion group check out the following:

@azhiyadev will recap all the meetings for this month.

@arasae is still working on the course Getting Started With WordPress: Get Familiar. She has experienced a few issues uploading and linking to videos. She is considering making a few short video workshops to embed into the course as well as to engage all learning styles, specifically on Posts vs. Pages, demo content, and possibly query loops

Open Discussions

@peteringersoll asked if we have any stats on video workshops and courses viewed. This could be an indicator of how effective the promotion of new workshops is. We will be promoting content on Learn as part of the collaboration with #marketing tomorrow. @hughlashbrooke said video views are hard to obtain but page views can be obtained via Google Analytics. He is going to ask for this to be added to the dashboard.

@peteringersoll asked if our hashtags are #LearnWP and #wptraining. @webcommsat confirmed that our hashtags are #LearnWP (in this format). #marketing does monitor #WPTraining which is used for non LearnWP items but it is not one that is currently used by #marketing. There are some promotions outside of WordPress, like #LearnWordPress that can be more effective.

Upcoming Meetings

You are welcome to join the team at any time! If you are new to the Training Team, please introduce yourself in the #training channel before the meeting (or anytime!) and feel free to join us in the meeting and participate as you are able.

Yoast Contributor Day 8 October Recap

A big thank you to the contributors that joined us last Friday. The Training and Marketing teams worked together with Yoast contributors to create social media promotions for resources available on LearnWP.

Additionally, we spoke at a high level about how to plan for SEO across the site. Everything from organizing content around topics that funnel out to the methods of instruction to schema markup, improving SEO of key posts, and more was discussed. We identified which kinds of data we most want. We look forward to continuing this work and making Learn the go-to resource for anyone wanting to learn WordPress.

Slack Log (Requires SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. login to view. Set one up if you don’t have a Slack account.)

The agenda for the meeting can be found here.

Introductions and Welcome

In attendance: @azhiyadev @arasae @rkohilakis @onealtr @yoga1103 @alexstine @peteringersoll @webtechpooja @afshanadiya @passionate @tantienhime @CarolynShannon @muhammadbux

Welcome to the following:

News

  1. Welcome and Support Flow Wranglers
    1. We are still looking for team members interested in managing account access to Learn/Training team sites, and answering any questions for new people. This could also include helping new team members draft meeting recaps, pointing them to specific content in the handbook, and more. Interested? Let us know!
  2. Meeting Note Takers
    1. We are looking for team members interested in taking notes during our meetings. This is another way you can contribute to the Training team. Interested? Let us know!
  3. PROPOSAL: Learner achievements on profiles
    1. This may not be open for much longer so please continue, share and provide comments if you haven’t had a chance yet. The proposal is to enable learners to demonstrate what they have learnt on Learn. We’d love to get feedback from employers who may look at .org profiles when considering employment.
  4. A Dedicated Volunteer Program for the Training Team
    1. This is similar to the deputies in #community-team but specific to Learn/Training. If you haven’t already done so, please comment on the post.
  5. PROPOSAL: Ensuring high-quality video contributions to Learn WordPress
    1. The deadline for comments was last week Friday, October 8, 2021. but I think you can still leave comments on the post.
    2. We had a great session with #marketing at their meeting last week looking at this. The summary of the main points will be added to the post, in the meantime you can find the details here: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RW657Q/p1633608876258500
    3. @rkohilakis has been working on a rubric for what is a quality production. For those of you who are unfamiliar, a rubric is a grid or matrix that lists the assessment criteria of a task and the expected standards for that criteria. We hope to see one for lesson plans and courses as well.
  6. Contributor working session recap
    1. In conjunction with the #marketing team, Yoast’s and WordPress contributors assisted in preparing social media posts regarding the content on Learn. We had a great discussion on the support for SEO planning around the content on Learn.
    2. One of the things we will be looking at is mapping out how long it takes to create a lesson plan, a workshop and a course. This will help us gauge how much content we can produce on for example a monthly basis, how much contributor time is needed, and where we can streamline our processes. Please let us if you are interested in helping out.
    3. Thank you to @yvettesonneveld for running our virtual table and all those who attended.
  7. Daylight savings
    1. It’s that time of year when we need to think about daylight savings. The team decided to create a poll for people to vote on meeting times for both EMEA & Americas and APAC timezones.

October Sprint

Progress

  1. Learn Content – the following workshops have now been published:
    1. Managing Spam on Your Website @west7
    2. Best Practices for Capturing Images @rkohilakis
  2. Learn Maintenance – there was quite a lot of activity over the weekend and this week on GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ where all our Learn functionality issues are logged. Thanks to @iandunn @coreymckrill @hughlashbrooke @tellyworth @psrpinto and @ashfame. If you want to assist with any open issues on Learn please let us know in #meta-learn and visit GitHub for our list of open issues.

Check-in

@arasae is working on the second portion of the second text-based course. The rough outline of the course is complete and is working on actually making video content.

@arasae also committed to migrating, copying, or cloning a site lesson plan for this Sprint. However, there is a lesson plan that already exists for the Migrate/Copy/Clone a Site. Therefore, efforts will shift to creating a video workshop.

@rkohilakis is going to start working on a video workshop for Admin Settings
