Deputy meeting

Howdy DeputiesProgram Supporter Community Program Supporters (formerly Deputies) are a team of people worldwide who review WordCamp and Meetup applications, interview lead organizers, and keep things moving at WordCamp Central. Find more about program supporters in our Program Supporter Handbook.!

I think it’s important for us to all chat from time to time to keep on the same page and answer any questions you might have but I think a weekly meeting might be a bit much considering all our busy schedules. I’d like to propose that we chat the last Thursday of every month either directly before or directly after the community team meeting at 19:00 UTC. Sound off below and let me know if that day will work for you and if you have a strong preference for 18:00 or 20:00 UTC.

CommHub Update

Slack log (Requires SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. login to view. Set one up if you don’t have a Slack account)

Yesterday we reviewed the descriptions that the team had put together and debated over a few.

We have updated the spreadsheet and is now available for everyone to review.

From a teams perspective, the next stage is to start wire framing and looking at the flow of the project.

If anyone has any ideas how to do wire framing in a collaborative manner, please let me know.

It will also be good to get someone with some UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. knowledge to review our wireframes so we don’t make something awful to use.

Till next time!
