# Community Chat Recap | March 19, 2015

_[Slack Log](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/outreach/s1426741200000000) (Requires
SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)
login to view. Set one up if you don’t have a Slack account.) Next week’s chat will
stay at 19:00 UTC. No change for Daylight Savings Time in the US_.

This week’s chat consisted of a couple really good discussions. We heard updates
about the ModSquad and WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized 
conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places 
where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned
throughout the year and share the joy. [Learn more](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/).
site improvements. Here are the team highlights:

From WPTV ([@jerrysarcastic](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jerrysarcastic/))

 * Post-production for WordCamp videos is being offered by the ModSquad and they
   are looking for contributors to participate._ _All it takes is a laptop, time
   to help, and some direction which you can find here:  [https://wptvdocs.wordpress.com/](https://wptvdocs.wordpress.com/)
 * Once the process is all streamlined, we’d like to have this announced in opening
   and closing remarks at Camps. Also in Contributor Days.
 * Follow Up Questions
    - [@hlashbrooke](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hlashbrooke/): What’s the best
      way to get raw footage to [WPTV] if the internet connection is poor?
       * Jerry: No solution just yet, but have discussed sending physical media.
       * Ian: What are the blockers for mailing? Cost. Countries that don’t have
         FedEx to use our account.
       * Jerry: It’s worth considering having the drives on hand to send out to 
         people who need them.

From Improving WordCamp.org ([@iandunn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/iandunn/))

 * Haven’t reached a consensus on the CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style
   sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site. editor updates.
   Might not be the highest priority, and might be worth surveying WordCamp organizers.
 * The ability to clone other WordCamp themes is a popular idea, and [@ryelle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ryelle/)
   built a prototype for that: [https://github.com/ryelle/WordCamp-Style-Import](https://github.com/ryelle/WordCamp-Style-Import)
 * Follow Up Questions
    - Hugh: Could we make any previously used wordcamp themes available for use 
      for future camps?
       * Ian: Yes, that’s part of the previously mentioned prototype, which you 
         can check out/contribute to at [https://github.com/ryelle/WordCamp-Style-Import](https://github.com/ryelle/WordCamp-Style-Import)
    - [@kcristiano](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kcristiano/): When will import
      style be available?
       * Ian: There is no timeline yet, but some issues have been identified.
       * Ian: Manually importing styles is currently supported. http://plan.wordcamp.
