Welcome back to Tuesday Trainings
We took a bit of a break from the Tuesday Trainings series to reassess and see how best to proceed. But now we’re back. The aim of this series is the same as it was before, to shed light on topics and information that folx in this community may find valuable. Some weeks I’ll provide you with fresh content from contributors on the community team but other weeks I am excited to share with you some of the workshops being built for the Learn WordPress Workshop program.
This week and next we’ll focus on the Organizing WordPress Meetups Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month).
