They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/.

Everyone should have access to edit both of these now. If not, please contact Christina Workman (@amethystanswers).

Please review, start adding to both, and claim tasks in Trello that you want to work on by adding yourself to them. Multiple people can work on the same task.

If you want to organize meetings with your subgroup, you can add comments to the Agenda and Recap posts, add a card to the Trello board, and message others in your sub-group in Slack.

Questions for me

Nobody had any questions about the project for me (@amethystanswers), but I am always available on Slack. If you need more clarification on something about this group, or how to get started, I’m happy to help. Or if you just want to chat about contributing in general.

Relax, Refresh, Recharge

I hope everyone has some time in the next few weeks to get some downtime and recharge your batteries. I look forward to seeing you all in the new year!

Next meeting is Wednesday, January 6, 2021 at 20:00 UTC.
