Announcing the 2023 Community Team Goals

Based on feedback and conversation, we have narrowed down the submitted ideas into three goals for 2023.

  1. Create resources to improve our Contributor Event experience.
  2. Expand our contributor training and support.
  3. Improve processes and workflows within the community team to work more efficiently, effectively, and transparently together.

Individual projects can be found on the Community team Trello board and you are welcome to claim one as  your own. Many of those projects fall under these three areas of focus.

If there is a particular goal you are interested in working on, but there isn’t currently a project that fits you, let the team know. We will work together to find a way that you can contribute toward that goal.

If you have any questions or concerns about these goals, share them. We’re happy to discuss it with you.


Thanks to @leogopal, @nukaga, and everyone else who shared ideas and opinions.

Community Team Goals for 2023 : Next Step

Thank you all so much for sharing your suggestions for the Community team’s 2023 goals, there are A LOT of excellent suggestions here to be excited about!

Over the next 2 weeks, suggested goals will be put into a new, public Community Team 2023 Goals Trello board as separate cards.

In March, we will hold a few chat sessions in the #community-team channel (if you don’t have an account already, sign-up for an one here: https://make.wordpress.org/chat/), where deputiesProgram Supporter 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. and anyone interested are invited to chat about specific goals, and add details to goal cards. The TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. board will be open for the next 2 weeks, so that people can share input outside of those sessions.

You can put your comments on the cards you consider high priority.
It can be just +1.

Then we will discuss final additions and priorities at our regular April chat meeting, 6 April. If you would prefer to have a Zoom hangout before then to discuss the goals, let us know what time zone and we’ll try to make that happen.

After that, the Team reps will summarize our goals and top priorities for 2023.

If any deputies are interested in helping with putting goals in Trello, or facilitating discussions and recapping goals, please pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point.

Community Team Goals for 2023: Call for Suggestions

It’s time to add your voice to what you’d like to see the Community Team accomplish as a group for 2023. As you can see in brainstorming posts from 2021202020182017, and 2016, every year we collected and shortlisted a long list of goals for our team.

This is an open thread for suggestions about what this team ought to focus on and/or try to accomplish this year. It’s ok to include:

  • Ideas that have already been suggested in the past
  • Propose things that maybe no one has ever mentioned.

Once the group has had time to make suggestions, we’ll recruit someone to summarize all the suggestions (example), and then discuss as a group, to set priorities. We’ll close comments on February 2.

Because of the short time frame, we’re looking at splitting the goal planning into two phase. We’d like to plan an initial set of goals for the first half of 2023 and then open the conversation again in May for the second half of the year. That doesn’t mean we can’t have overarching goals for all of to 2023. It simply opens our thinking to short term initiatives while also making sure that we are tracking our progress throughout a long and busy year.

Consider these as you think through your suggestions:

  • What would do you think the global community teamGlobal Community Team A group of community organizers and contributors who collaborate on local events about WordPress — monthly WordPress meetups and/or annual conferences called WordCamps. should or could work on?
  • What would help further our mission to connect WordPress enthusiasts?
  • What would inspire people to do more with WordPress?
  • How can we encourage contribution to the WordPress open sourceOpen 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, in 2023?
