Hello team!

In the past three years I have been part of different community events and lately I have found that some people involved aren’t very aware of the guidelines we set in our program.

This could happen in a number of cases

WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy.

MeetupMeetup 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. organisers that joined after the initial orientation, held only with the main organiser from a group
In general, people that are doing awesome work in their local community (MeetupsMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month).

In the Meetup case (2) I think it might be enough for the team member that went through orientation to give the orientation to the new members every time someone else comes on board.

I wonder if the self-training should be made mandatory for the othe cases.

Pros

Everyone is on the same page

Cons

We don’t have many people grading the quizzes

What do you think?

Deadline to comment is May 18 so we can discuss this during the next two Community chats.

We’re excited to open up the second call for experienced community 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.

Our first call for training was in February, and while we had some response, there were many 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.

All deputies — experienced, new, and those who have been wanting to get started — need to complete the training . To make it a more collaborative experience we’ll be recommending that each deputyProgram 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.

This first an introductory meeting and the second a meeting to discuss what you’ve learned. We anticipate that these groups will work best with no more than 5 deputies taking part in the individual discussion groups.

Round 2 of these discussion groups should begin the first Week of May and wrap up prior to June 5, 2017.

If you’re an experienced deputy we’d like to invite you to lead a conversation group with other deputies. In the comments please indicate your interest and what days/ times will work best for your groups. We’ll announce a schedule and allow others to sign up for your groups by the end of next week.
