Below is a preliminary agenda for the meeting. If you wish to add things you’d like bring to into discussion, comment below or reach out to team reps @sippis or @kcristiano. It does not need to be a blog post yet, the topic can be discussed during the meeting nevertheless. We use the same agenda for both meetings.
Preliminary agenda
Deputy Community Program Supporters (formerly Deputies) are a team of people worldwide who review WordCamp and Meetup applications, interview lead organizers, and keep things moving at WordCamp Central. Find more about program supporters in our Program Supporter Handbook. / 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. / Contributor check-ins
What have you been doing and how is it going? What you got accomplished after the last meeting? Are there any blockers? Can other team members help you in some way?
Highlights
Announcement: Review of WordCamp sites without a tracker item – removal of some old WordCamp sites
Some WordCamp 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. sites missing their counterpart in the WordCamp tracker. We are now going through this list and will remove WordCamps sites for events that didn’t take place. For WordCamps that did take place, the WordCamp tracker in Central will be backfilled with simple details.
New and ongoing discussions
Outreach to WordCamp Mentors
Would you be interested in helping Angela with some outreach to our current roster of WordCamp mentors 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.? With all the changes to the program this past year, it seems timely to check in with our mentors to see if they are still interested in mentoring WordCamps and where we can better support them.
Revisiting Learn WordPress Workshop Application Vetting Process
Some community members have been helping with the Learn WordPress workshop and discussion group facilitator application vetting process. Naoko proposes few changes to the process for making it smoother.
Request for feedback: Team goals check
As we enter Q2 of 2021, it seems appropriate to check where we are with the action items set for Q1 and Q2 in our Team goals. If you are working with some action item or do know the progress of one, please leave an update in the comments of the post.
Timeline for the Global Sponsorship Program
We published the official Global Sponsorship program on March 23rd and it included a deadline for Q2 sponsorships just 3 days later (March 26th). Taco raised a point that they think this isn’t reasonable and we might have lost some sponsorships because of that.
Open floor
Opportunity to bring things into discussions that weren’t on the meeting agenda and if anyone has something they would like to share with the team. If you have a topic in mind before the meeting, please add it into the comments of this post.
Hope to see you on Thursday, either on Asia-Pacific / EMEA or Americas friendly version of the meeting!
Preliminary agenda was put together in collaboration of @sippis and @kcristiano.
