Hello, it’s November. It’s time to decide who will represent the new community team next year!
Last year, we made the following proposals, and in 2024, four people served as reps.
Change the number of years in office from one to two years (step down is possible if desired), with one or two of the three remaining the following year to facilitate continuity
In 2024, @leogopal and I (@nukaga) will leave the Reps, and @peiraisotta and @st810amaze will remain.
Then, two new Reps for 2025 will be elected.
Team Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. Role
Each team has representatives in the WordPress open source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. project, abbreviated as “reps”.
Team reps are responsible for communicating on behalf of the group to the other contributor groups via weekly updates, as well as occasional chats.
As a reminder, it is not called “team lead” for a reason. While the people elected as team reps will generally come from the pool of folks that people think of as experienced leaders, the team rep role is designed to change hands regularly.
This role does have a time commitment attached to it, at least one hour a week. The main tasks include:
- Writing the agenda for the Community Team meetings
- Coordinating the facilitator of the meeting and the posting of summaries
- Discuss the community team’s annual goals
- Keep an eye on the moving parts of the team and provide reports for quarterly updates
