@myroseapple – I see a video you are modding that is DO NOT PUBLISH.

What is the issue with the video? Should I trashTrash Trash in WordPress is like the Recycle Bin on your PC or Trash in your Macintosh computer. Users with the proper permission level (administrators and editors) have the ability to delete a post, page, and/or comments. When you delete the item, it is moved to the trash folder where it will remain for 30 days. it, or is it something that you think is fixable? 🙂

You guys are really doing an awesome job. No videos to review.. 🙂

I just noticed WC Nepal videos don’t have Presentation Video or Slides categories. They are presentation videos and many have slides too (even in the video itself). I think we need to add those categories as well.

How exactly are we including links to presentation slides with videos? I must’ve missed something, but I don’t seen any meta for that on the edit page. Also, is there a way we prefer including links to things like demos or other external resources the presenter covers in their talk? It’s nice to have a video with links on the screen, or when they call out “go to http://somethingsomething.com/link to download the code we’re going through.” But having those links with the video itself will be super useful I think.

Don’t you guys think we need a person’s screenshot on the videos? Check out the parent site.. it looks horrible.

@andreamiddleton Was there any discussion of adding a WordPress version metaboxMetabox A post metabox is a draggable box shown on the post editing screen. Its purpose is to allow the user to select or enter information in addition to the main post content. This information should be related to the post in some way. to the site? I think it would be good to have, and something the mods can add to (current version at time of upload?) or if we add a form field is something that the submitter themselves can add when uploading a video?

Is this outside of scope? 🙂

This is the Fifth post in a series on Meetup Best practices for you to share what has worked for your meetup. Each post will pose a small amount questions for meetup organizers to answer. Out of these, I imagine some best practices will bubble up. At a minimum, the knowledge and background should help both current and future meetup organizers.

previously, we looked at:

  • Venues
  • Refreshments
  • Happiness Bars
  • Metrics
