Request for Feedback: Community Team Meeting times for 2021

It has been a long time since our Community Team Meetings times have been revised, and we’ve checked the suitability of those from our current team members. As the new year starts, it’s a good time to do the check and see if there’s a need to change the meeting times.

Community Team Meetings are held on the first and third Thursdays of every month. Each meeting happens twice in the same day to cater to different time zones. We plan to keep all this unchanged.

Currently, our meeting times are 11:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC. This is the part we are interested in and looking to change in case some other times prove to be more appropriate for most of the Community Team members.

To vote on the times, please fill this Doodle. Times are shown in your local timezone by default. Make sure to check that Doodle guessed your timezone right. If you want to change the timezone for times shown, use the timezone selector right above the table view.

Please note that the poll is used to vote on times for the rest of the year, regardless it having only one date.

You can vote for multiple times and for both, EMEA / Asia-Pacific and US friendly, meeting times. Team reps will choose the two times that have gotten most votes but do use consideration in order to ensure covering all timezones.

Next two team meetings, on 2021-01-21 and 2021-02-04, will still be held 11:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC. If meeting times are subject to change as a result of this vote, first meeting which will take place at the new time is 2020-02-18.

Please vote before 2021-02-05.

Team Chat Agenda, Feb 27, 2014

It’s the 4th Thursday of the month, so the focus is “Contrib recognition, site stuff” — kind of a perfect day to talk about profiles, right? Thinking we might try a combo IRC/hangout so we can show what we’ve done so far this week, and since Andrea, Ian, Cami, Rebecca, and I are all in the same place today. If that sounds good, will post a hangout link before meeting time.

To suggest additional agenda items, leave a comment.

Agenda for team meeting focus on WordCamps conferences…

Agenda for team meeting (focus on WordCamps/conferences) tomorrow, Feb 20:

  • Orientation hangouts — how are they going?
  • Let’s talk tools for wordcamp.org administration and event sites. What’s good, what sucks, what isn’t great but probably could be with some effort and dev time?

My guess is that we can easily use up an hour talking tools. To help expedite things, if folks want to give us a head start by listing prelim thoughts on tools (existing or wish-list), that would be great.

Side note: I’m thinking that while we’re ramping up the program, it might be worth doing a meetups-centric meeting once a week for a little while to help us crank through stuff. Would anyone else be interested in doing that? Maybe tacked on to the front or back of the regular team meeting, or same time on a different day?
