The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. group (register for Slack here). The primary purpose of this meeting is for everyone to meet for the first time and to decide what areas each individual will focus on. Here’s an agenda we will follow, but I expect plenty of discussion branching off this:
1. Welcome and introductions
Who’s in the group?
2. Group responsibilities
What are the group responsibilities and what do they each entail?
3. Volunteers for roles
Are there any areas of the group that you would like to focus on?
4. Next steps
What are we going to do next? How will we begin working towards our goals?
5. Next meeting
When will we meet again? What regular schedule would work well?
I hope to see you there!
