Dev-squad GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that 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/ triage: Thursdays 07:00 UTC

Looks like it has been 3 weeks with no activity here. I was about to post about elections for team reps, but am wondering… since in the time between when this group was started and now, the community outreach group has started (which will include mentorship etc), would it be better to make Training a project of the Community Outreach group instead of a standalone group? I think either approach will work, but if it’s a standalone group, team reps will need to be responsible for keeping activity moving.

Leave your thoughts in the comments. If majority think standalone is better, I’ll post 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. election stuff. If majority thinks being part of outreach is better, we can bring all this over to the other site.

There weren’t enough ‘show off’ on the group compared to the other major ones, especially right before a new version release. I believe in the importance of Training and it’s future influence on the community, the new members and improving the skills of existing WordPress users and developers according to standards and docs.

  I’m not sure what you mean by “show off” but my suggestion wasn’t intended to imply that training isn’t important, more that it may be easier to get it going if it’s in conjunction with the community outreach group, since we’ll be doing mentorship programs etc that will rely heavily on training materials, and that it would be less pressure on the people who had offered to lead this group.

    it’s your call, I’m referring to your statement that there’s been no activity for the past 3 weeks which is hardly a factor with the current effort on popularization of the group around the holidays and right before a new version. 🙂 The amount of work for both Community and Training would be large and separation would lead to easier delegation of responsibilities and focusing on different targets.

I would love to pick things up on this one. Training should be separate and the outreach group should benefit from this group and not the other way around.

Another reason is that the outreach group has currently a focus on women only and to me that is something that the trainings program should not have. It should not enforce people to think in boxes but yeah that is my opinion.

I would love to work with Mario on a plan to make this work and I believe when there is something setup that more people we help out. Since I do agree with him about the “bad timing” of this whole. I totally forgot about it since I was to busy with checking code and testing everything for 3.5.
