Community team communication

Last week, we discussed switching away from a weekly team chat and instead moving more of our communication to this blog. This will free up 3 volunteer hours for many people per month, and also make it easier for people not in Eastern-through-Pacific time zones to participate in conversations on a more equal footing with everyone else.

This week, we agreed we all still wanted to do this, and so this post is just to note that we’re switching now to a once-a-month meeting, the first Thursday of every month at 19:00 UTC in #outreach (as you’ll see in the sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme.). We’ll probably need to shift that time around every couple of months to keep equalizing the time zone imbalance.

This does not mean community team conversation will/should slow down! All 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. are authors on this blog, and if something comes up that you want to discuss with other deputies, please write a post about it! If we all keep posting details daily updates, then it should be even easier to keep on top of what’s happening in the community team. 🙂

Based on the comments on the post about…

Based on the comments on the post about splitting up meeting main topic by week, I would like to officially propose:

  • 1st Thursday of the month — MeetupsMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our Meetup Organizer Handbook. (and other local events)
  • 2nd Thursday of the month — Mentorship programs, Diversity initiatives
  • 3rd Thursday of the month — WordCamps (and other big conferences)
  • 4th Thursday of the month — Contributor recognition, Site stuff
  • and on those occasions when there’s a 5th, we’ll have a virtual party. 🙂

For 2-4 there’s still work to be done assembling teams to have something to report/discuss, so some of the meetings might be light on action until next month (also because will need to give people in other contrib groups who are involved in these things some notice about these meetings).

Weekly meeting time

We meet weekly in IRC in #wordpress-getinvolved on Thursdays at 1900 UTC. That’s an adjustment to the UTC time of our meeting to account for the time change, but most people’s local times will stay the same.

We’ve added the time to the sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. here and made the fix for the time change on the make.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ home page. I hope this will make the info easier for everyone to find, and that we’ll see you in IRC!
