    Contributor Spotlight: Cynthia Norman

    Welcome to another edition of the Training Team’s Contributor Spotlight! In this series, the Training Team introduces you to one of our many valued contributors, and you can learn more about their contribution journey.

    a profile photo of WordPress contributor, Cynthia Norman

    Introducing Cynthia!

    Today’s featured contributor is Cynthia Norman from Canada! Cynthia is one of the Training team’s Content Creators with expertise in theme development, and she’s also a Faculty team member. Let’s get to know more about her WordPress journey.

    All About Cynthia

    Cynthia is a family woman–she’s a proud nana of six grandchildren who lives near the beautiful Ontario landscape, where the wilderness is just a little beyond her backyard. She grew up in Quebec and comes from French-Canadian heritage, so no wonder that she’s eloquent in French.

    Cynthia and her golden retriever, Mya, playing outside when it snows

    With a background in Civil Engineering and French language proficiency, Cynthia has taught computer science, math, and French for many years. That was until 2010, when she decided to switch gears from teaching at high school to web development. She obtained a diploma in Applied Web Development, and now it’s been five years that she has worked as a freelance web developer. 

    Outside of WordPress, Cynthia enjoys spending time in nature. “As a self-proclaimed introvert, I am most happy spending time fishing, kayaking, vegetable gardening, and walking with my golden retriever, Mya,” she says.

    She also cherishes the time when she’s with her own family and her church family. “As grandparents, my husband and I are never short on family gatherings around birthday celebrations and holidays!” The great outdoors, a nice dose of solitude, and fun times with loved ones–now that’s what you call ‘joie de vivre’!

    Cynthia’s WordPress Journey

    When she was still studying web development, Cynthia did volunteer work for her church–she helped create a website for them. It was the first time she developed a website, and she used HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites. and CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. to build it. Soon after, she built her first WordPress website professionally, and she’s been hooked to this CMS ever since.

    Over the years, she has built and maintained hundreds of WordPress sites as a freelancer for her own clients and as a contractor with WordPress agencies.

    As time went by, Cynthia’s eagerness to stay current led her to start contributing to WordPress’s open-source project. “I felt contributing to the WordPress project would tick all the boxes for my desire to grow professionally,” she explains. “I was a WordPress Contributor Mentorship program mentee in July 2023. I chose to join the Training Team as this is where I felt most comfortable, given my background and experience in education.”

    Her first significant contribution was updating the 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. Theme developer course created by Jonathan Bossenger on Learn WordPress. “Working collaboratively with WordPress educators has been so rewarding, and exactly what I needed to complement my freelance work,” Cynthia affirms.

    Powered by her experience in creating many WordPress sites and hundreds of WordPress tutorials, Cynthia also decided to extend her passion for knowledge-sharing by launching a WordPress Tutorials YouTube channel, WP SOS Hub, in 2023. There, she created videos about her experience with WordPress-related topics such as themes, plugins, and full-site editing, aiming to inspire people to have a beautiful and SEO-optimized website that will convert visitors into customers.

    Overcoming Challenges 

    For Cynthia, the most challenging part of contributing has been figuring out how much time to set aside on a consistent basis. She shares her trick: “My efforts to contribute at least 2 hours daily have helped me grow into my current role as a Faculty Member of the Training Team.”Moreover, Cynthia acknowledges that the Training team’s onboarding process and handbook are excellent resources to guide contributors along their journey. In the Training team, there are multiple onboarding paths for multiple contributing roles, so new contributors can choose any path they like.

    Memorable WordPress Moments

    Cynthia joined the pilot program of WordPress Contributor Mentorship in 2023, and completing it has been the highlight of her WordPress journey. “The mentorship program was what I needed to gain insights into what contributing to the WordPress project meant to begin with. My mentor, Jenni McKinnon, made me feel supported throughout the program. We had a little one-on-one time which was so appreciated,” she reminisces.

    The Contributor Mentorship Program itself is a cohort-based and 1:1 mentorship to new and aspiring contributors. The program is intended as a pathway to help new contributors find their way into WordPress contributions. The second cohort of the program is currently running, starting from February 19, 2024.

    What advice would you give to someone who wants to get started with contributing to WordPress?

    “Choose to work on one thing you feel drawn towards, and try hard to avoid getting distracted by all the different directions your contributions can take you. You may get discouraged and give up if you don’t feel a connection with anyone. From my experience so far, I have found it best to slowly build things so that I can gain confidence in one area before moving on to the next thing.”

    Thank you, Cynthia, for all your dedication and contributions to the Training Team and to the WordPress Open SourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified.

    Looking for feedback: Thumbnails for the Learn redesign

    Design has also created thumbnail templates to be used across multiple media assets used in the WordPress project. For the Training Team specifically, these would be used for course/lesson featured images on Learn, videos uploaded to YouTube, and Online Workshop thumbnails added to Meetup.com. The team would start using these thumbnails as part of the redesign work currently happening on Learn.

    Please take a moment to generate thumbnails using the provided template and provide your feedback in the comments by April 19th.

    Follow the instructions below to download the Figma file to your computer and generate images there.

    1. Create and login to your Figma account at https://www.figma.com/
    2. Download the template file.
    3. Import the file into Figma by going to the Figma homepage and clicking on “Import” in the top-right corner.
    4. Follow the directions described in the file to generate visuals.

    Out of the templates provided, Training would be using the following:

    • Topic as image: Course/lesson featured images
    • Title only: Lesson video thumbnails on YouTube
    • Title and guest & Title and multiple guests: Online Workshop thumbnails on Meetup.com

    Then, please leave your feedback below. Here are some questions that would be particularly helpful for the design team.

    1. Is the process clear? Suggestions on the copy and the step by step flow are very useful.
    2. Did you export the visuals as expected?
    3. Did you face any problem during the process? Which ones?
    4. Is any helpful information missing?

    Open Discussions

    And finally, open discussions! Does anyone have any topics they’d like to discuss with the team today?

    Do folks have any ideas for how we can make our meetings more engaging?

    @devmuhib – suggested to pull traffic from Youtube. @gusa – As a participant or lurker in several channels, it seems like participation (sync and async) is down across all teams (that have regular meetings). Think implementing some of the recommended action items in this Five for the Future proposal.

    @digitalchild – I think one of the reasons is that the time is too early/late for some people. I noticed there was a decline in participation since moving to the current timeslot. @manukk – Maybe we can pass on an email reminder to all members of the group in slack till the count comes up. @digitalchild – Email reminders can be quite intrusive and if people haven’t opted in for it then we can’t send them.

    • Learn WordPress Content Deprecation plan

    I’ll be writing up a post for us to have a more long form discussion here, but I wanted to get some thoughts from the team on how we should manage content deprecation with the new site relaunch.

    As a reminder, we are moving away from tutorials and lesson plans in favor of courses and lessons (all lessons contain a video component and transcript). Considerations for deprecation management include evaluating custom user roles, metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. fields, post types, documenting remaining custom elements, and ensuring publication dates are visible on content.
