  • Andrea emailed 27 past organizers to get their permission to share contact info with Review Guidelines
  • Review Guidelines: when they get their list of people to reach out to, they will send a short survey to a group of past organizers and then follow up with direct interviews once they have the inital data.
  • Page Templates: Erick Hitter created a wireframe for a sessions template, and will start coding it up for next week or the week after. Brandon Dove will wireframe his Day Of template for next Tuesday.
  • Mentorship: the group has created a list of responsibilities for mentors and mentees and will be working on a Mentor Application, as well as Mentor and Mentee Rating Polls for when the mentorship is complete. We’re still talking over the right environment for the mentorship conversations – private? public?
  • wp.tv moderators, event training materials, and multi-event sponsorship have yet to meet in the new year, though the latter will meet next week to complete their project. The former two are ongoing, and probably just need a little new blood.
