Translations

Most items were translated in time in Spanish Latin America and Portuguese Brazil for the Latin America workshop this last weekend, but a few items are remaining in both languages. Please pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” @devinmaeztri on Slack if you can help.

@katiejrichards is going to put together a checklist for the new process for how Marketing and #WPDiversity will work together.
