  • Active campaigns
  • We again saw a slower week with the pause on social media during the majority of the previous week as we continued to focus on listening to the people and the major current conflicts occurring in Ukraine rather than promoting content. We did see slight activity with WordPress News and auto-posted content along with near the end of the week (Friday) where we published the WP Briefing Podcast.

4c. GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

  • Particular questions on 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/. related to how to use some of the buttons, to use the search, and when to click on and also send to. Does anyone have a good guide to using Slack, we can add a list to the wiki to support new contributors? 

4d. Open Call for Make Marketing Table at WCEU

View the thread via this Slack link.

  • Last week we highlighted the open call to lead the Make Marketing contributor table at WordCamp Europe. @webcommsat has shared recommendations based on her experience in past years (thread). @jpantani will confirm soon whether he will have time to help with this. Will anyone else be available?
  • @webcommsat shared the most urgent information the team needs to share with WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Europe:
    • how many people the team estimates would be there on the day for a dedicated Marketing contributors table during WordCamp Europe, and how many tables might be needed.
    • would we be able to provide volunteers to help on the day with marketing tasks and with anyone needing additional assistance after a Slack introduction?
    • what areas can we focus on?
  • It is expected there will be a staffed booth to help attendees learn how to get more involved in contributing to any team. @dansoschin is wrangling/organizing that booth as an organizer for WCEU, though he will not be in attendance. That booth will be present during the main two days of the event. 
  • @anjanavasan will share information on Registration Desks and a Getting Started desk.
  • If you will be attending WCEU 2022, please reply in the thread. Also, please chime in with topics/activities you think could be covered/discussed/performed during Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time.

    • @dansoschin suggests hosting a discussion on what additional materials (written guides, checklists, graphics, videos) could be added to our download area to help web developers and content creators when “pitching” migrating to WordPress to their CIOs/CTOs in mid/large enterprises. 

4e. Session with Training to Prepare for the 6.0 Release

View the thread via this Slack link.

  • Last week, the training team expressed that they would like to continue exploring how Training/Docs/Marketing prepare for WP 6.0 release, and perhaps hold a session with the different teams.
  • The idea of a session to help contributors from different teams was part of the recommendations from 5.7 and 5.8, and for 6.0. There is also a new step in the release process: a walkthrough of new features slated for the release. There are also plans for closer working between the different teams, more to come on this.
  • If you are interested in participating in an orientation session, please reply in the thread.
  • @courane01 will return a date soon for this session, and considers that somewhere between feature freeze and walkthrough would be a good time for the orientation event.

4f. People of WordPress

  • More advance follow up for obtaining images which are in the resolution, clarity and have permissions for use, and discussing with HeroPress ways which could potentially improve the images they have and the workflow on images to People of WordPress.
  • @MegPhillips91 has offered to create a template which photo editors could use to make sure resolution and size is sufficient. Discussion on whether it would be possible for a template to be created in software other than Photoshop or another paid for product, but one that did not leave a watermark as this has created issues for photo and video editing in the past.
  • @rmartinezduque, @femkreations, @marybaum have also volunteered to help on the task as time allows.

6. Open Floor

Slack Thread Link

  • @abhanonstopnewsuk: Request from WCEU 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/. team on how many people the team would estimate would be at the event. I was asked to lead the table but am unlikely to be in Porto. The team will need a couple of volunteers on the day based on previous years – would recommend three from experience. 
    • @abhanonstopnewsuk will help where she can by pulling previous years info. At the moment it looks like the day will be kept quite simple, so not as much work for teams and reps.
    • @abhanonstopnewsuk Has suggested from previous experience, it would be useful if volunteers are able to help others get started and take part:
      • Be able to introduce them to the basics of WP.org and contributing to marketing, how the team works, how they can get involved
      • Be familiar with how to set up a Slack account and WordPress.org profile (even if there is a desk to help with this on the day, you will still get lots of people wanting extra help with this on the marketing table, or unsure how to use Slacks
      • If you are going to run the session focused on one or two particular tasks, then volunteers will need to be familiar with that task so they can help people get involved with it, especially anyone new, needing access support, or for whom English is not their first language
      • A large part of preparation will be about what tasks you intend to do on the day and how long you have. The timetable is not out as yet, so you will need this to have a better idea of what time you will have with contributors
      • Table volunteers for marketing tend to have a better time if they are familiar with how the WP community contributes together in open source and have been contributing for a while as there tends to be lots of questions from new people and those wanting to look at what the team does. In 2019, we had about 10 people on a table and filled more than 3 tables during the day. We also had some live links with people who could not travel. Numbers may not be as high this year and unsure about how social distancing will be done (if at all). It looks like it will be a more limited version of previous contributor days due to the current situation. For 2019, we had a lot planned and covered an entire day and other days in the conference, as we did for The 2019 plan, 2020 and 2021 too.
      • Have an intro ready for what the marketing team does. As this is changing at the moment, suggest this will be important. It is likely that WCEU Contributor Day team will ask for some text for the web page too about what people will be doing on the day to help contributors book or choose teams.  I made this video in 2020 as all teams were asked to make a video (it does not look like one is needed this time, and previous videos are available from 2020 and from the Contributor Resource area we build for 2021 https://youtu.be/_1Bp3Uaj3OE
      • Have someone or two people who can do a quick hello for the team at the beginning of the event, probably on stage
      • Have someone who can pull together a summary of what you have done to share at the end of the event
      • It is unclear as yet if there will be an opportunity for people to join remotely as participants
      • @abhanonstopnewsuk will add this info to the GitHub card tomorrow too
  • @MegPhillips91: Just a friendly invitation: if you are interested in a co-coding social get together to team up and build some new blocks or blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. themes. Anyone is invited. I’m going to be writing a block theme, but I know another friend is going to be building a block for the first time. just a social invite. no project required. So, if you wanna join me just pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point.

It looks like we are working on a Thursday coming soon.
  • @anjanavasan: Has added a draft link for the Month in WordPress and is looking for input if anyone has time.
  • @Courtney: Training team would like to continue exploring how training/docs/marketing prepare for WP 6.0 release.  One idea includes an event for interested contributors to any of these teams to learn what to spot from changelogs right around feature freeze. Would folks here be interested in such a session? Then to help interested contributors connect from that into the mentioned teams for specific next steps.
    • Volunteers so far include:
    • @eidolonnight recommended including an event around 6.0 release at the WCEU Contributor Day.
      • @Courtney suggested a regroup after feature freeze for marketing to get together to brainstorm educational (and promotional) content, talking points, etc.
    • @Courtney: Will get in touch with #docs, to create a Doodle poll for availability among regular contributors now to pick a date, and then collaboratively draft an outline for such an event.
    • @abhanonstopnewsuk For release documentation for 6.0 @bph is pulling things together, and how the integration / working together between the teams can continue to be built-on and address issues previously raised will be one of the areas.The idea of a session to help contributors from different teams was part of the recommendations from 5.7 and 5.8, and as you say is really important. For 6.0 there is a new step in the release process: a walkthrough of new features slated for the release. [update: 5 April]
      • @MegPhillips91 would like to volunteer to help with this  — 6.0 new step in the release process: a walkthrough of new features slated for the release.
    • @Courtney: I am migrating #training team content planning from TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. into GitHub (it’s noisy in our channel). I’d like to explore some automation when something is published on to #marketing eventually. Not super soon, as we need to clean up after import concludes
      • @eidolonnight Asked if there was an RSS feedRSS Feed RSS is an acronym for Real Simple Syndication which is a type of web feed which allows users to access updates to online content in a standardized, computer-readable format. This is the feed. that could be used to auto feed new content when something new that is published
        • @Courtney: Yes – there are other feeds she is already able to help her monitor.
