Community team communication

Last week, we discussed switching away from a weekly team chat and instead moving more of our communication to this blog. This will free up 3 volunteer hours for many people per month, and also make it easier for people not in Eastern-through-Pacific time zones to participate in conversations on a more equal footing with everyone else.

This week, we agreed we all still wanted to do this, and so this post is just to note that we’re switching now to a once-a-month meeting, the first Thursday of every month at 19:00 UTC in #outreach (as you’ll see in the sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme.). We’ll probably need to shift that time around every couple of months to keep equalizing the time zone imbalance.

This does not mean community team conversation will/should slow down! All deputiesProgram Supporter Community Program Supporters (formerly Deputies) are a team of people worldwide who review WordCamp and Meetup applications, interview lead organizers, and keep things moving at WordCamp Central. Find more about program supporters in our Program Supporter Handbook. are authors on this blog, and if something comes up that you want to discuss with other deputies, please write a post about it! If we all keep posting details daily updates, then it should be even easier to keep on top of what’s happening in the community team. 🙂
