@cguntur (working on our Speaker Mentorship program)
I am currently working on contacting Jeremy and getting the resources page ready
I am on yellow. I contacted Jeremy about the speaker mentor Event Supporter (formerly Mentor) is someone who has already organised a WordCamp and has time to meet with their assigned mentee every 2 weeks, they talk over where they should be in their timeline, help them to identify their issues, and also identify solutions for their issues. and about his availability. I haven’t heard back from him.
Yellow on the resources page as well. I will probably have it ready by Monday.
@miriamgoldman (leading our Train the Trainers, running trainings, editing our video, and more)
Green: Held a training last week, went well, got more interactions. Also am editing our current video to streamline what we have.
Yellow: Following up with prospective trainers – I got hit by the busy train at work and just haven’t had the time to do this. Following Labour Day things will be better.
Green: Adding some new prompts to our Trainer script – will be sharing with Jill and Angela once ready.
@rahuldsarker (Translations team, running a small test of a translation in Bengali)
Communities with the local translation team for Bengali translation for the training materials.
@angelasjin (Train the Trainer)
I handled a few HS emails, and have a training scheduled for next week, but again, so takers so far!
Our two workshops, Sat, Oct 26 and Sun, Oct 27
