And now for a little housekeeping: It’s time to choose a team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts..

What is a team rep?

The team rep has two major roles:

Report what’s happening with polyglots to the make/updates P2p2 "p2" is the name of the theme that blogs at make.wordpress.org use (and o2 is the accompanying plugin). When asked to post something "on the p2" by a member of the Polyglots team, that usually means you're asked to post on the team blog https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/. so other teams can keep up.
Report what’s happening with other teams back to the polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/.

For more information see this post on the make/updates P2.

Who’s eligible?

Any member of the polyglots team (all of us here) is eligible to serve as team rep.

How will team reps be elected?

Since we’re a large team, all those interested in being a team rep should nominate themselves by commenting on this post. You can also nominate someone other than yourself.

On Sunday we’ll post a poll here with the list of nominations for all of you to vote on. The top two candidates will serve as team rep and backup team rep.

Other questions

If you have any questions about the role, feel free to ask in the comments.

I would like to nominate @petya-r. I’m more then happy to be a backup team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts.. At least I will help out the team rep to retrieve useful stats for a weekly post since I don’t think that is possible right now.
- Petya Raykovska 6:56 pm on February 26, 2014
  
  Wow. Thanks, Marko. I’d need you for more than weekly stats, though 🙂

  Other teams have weekly chats, which the team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. can moderate or not (depends on the team). Those teams also have weekly updates that are posted both to their respective P2s (in this case, make/polyglots) and to make/updates to let other teams know what their team is doing.
  
  As of now, the polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. doesn’t have weekly chats, but weekly updates would be valuable and would take some time to compile (look at the stats on make/updates for the theme team). I imagine a couple hours a week. More with weekly chats, less when things are slow.

Neither Remkus nor you Zé have commented here yet. Should we take it that you are resigning as the current Polyglots reps?
- Ze Fontainhas 10:56 pm on February 28, 2014
  
  As far as a) I’m aware, and b) that is even a thing, I’m still the team’s lead (!= rep), unless you (or anyone) want to bring that up for discussion, which is perfectly fine.

    Is there a page about that. Curious if there is overlap a future team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. should know about.

Since most validators work independently, it would be helpful if each nominees introduce him/herself. Right now my vote would go to Ze (if he be nominated). coz he doing this role quite well (in my opinion), second reason is I didn’t know other much. :p
