Welcome and recap of last meeting
Lesson plan updates

Testing updates

Slides
- @bethsoderberg found some small font size and spacing issues when comparing the PSDs and Google Slides. We’ll check to see if @ariwinokur has a report on anything he’s found next week.
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/. logistics
- @courtneyengle checked with the Outreach Team and found that they do not have a specific RSS/iCal/etc feed of Contributor Days at this time. The hope was to use this with some automation that @ariwinokur was working on. However, we’ll need to stick to manual for now.
- @bethsoderberg will start a draft plan for next week to handle contributor days for each of the following scenarios. @melindahelt will take on whatever needs to be done on the plan next week.
  - Someone from team can attend the contributor day
  - Someone from team can monitor Slack on the contributor day
  - No one from team can attend or monitor Slack on the contributor day
Future logistics discussions
- We all agree that we’d like to discuss lesson plan continuity in the future. As updates to WordPress are released, we’d like our content to be reviewed to ensure that it’s current. When we have this conversation we’ll want to revisit the Content Audit pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party conversation we had in October 2014. @courtneyengle is going to check with the WPTV team to see how the TV video plugin is developing and how they plan to maintain and address changes in content as WP evolves.
