The community team created multiple sub-tables to discuss and work on several topics in a focused manner.

Here is a brief summary of the day’s discussions.

Contributor Working Group – Mentorship

Subgroup lead: Hari Shanker ( @harishanker )

Improving Sponsorship Proposals

Subgroup lead: Taco Verdonschot ( @tacoverdo )

Discussion on how we can better describe the benefits sponsors are getting to create clarity for both sponsors and organizers. You can find the working doc in Google Docs. This will be added to/merged with the Handbook later.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in WordPress

Subgroup lead: Junko Nukaga ( @nukaga ) , Shusei Toda( @st810amaze )

We discussed what we perceive as challenges and actions we can take to promote diversity in our community.

Also, promotion of Diversity Speaker training. 

Discussion about Next Generation WordCamp

Subgroup lead: Angela Jin ( @angelasjin )

Sixteen (16) people participated in the discussion. We discussed what Next Gen WordCamps are and how they came to be, the new challenges they bring and how we can address those, and also how they can be of excitement and benefit to the whole community. We explored new event formats and topics, and how sponsorship and contribution might work. People were invited to suggest new ideas for events, and to help the Community team improve its events tooling.

About the Community Table at this WCEUWCEU WordCamp Europe. The European flagship WordCamp event. Contributor Day

Since there were many topics that the community team wanted to address, we asked each sub-table to have a lead who would be in charge of facilitating the work, and each sub-table was asked to facilitate their own work.

We set aside about a month for preparation, soliciting the topics and work to address, recruiting leads, and announcing the sub-tables, in order.

I would like to thank everyone who led the table leads and sub-tables this time.

For those who were unable to attend Contributor Day

If you were unable to attend the Contributor Day, the community team frequently discusses issues in the Make WordPress chat. We also have regular chat meetings at #community-team channel. We welcome input from anyone, so please join us on Make WordPress Slack.

Thank you @st810amaze @harishanker @tacoverdo @angelasjin @megabyterose @peiraisotta @francescodicandia @mysweetcate for your help in preparing for Contributor Day, the day of the event, and for this post.

Feature idea: Speaker profile block

I propose we build a WordPress profile bio blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience., that, given a WordPress username, pulls the name, image and the bio from that users profile.wordpress page and displays it, and links back to the profile page. This could then be used by 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. Learn more. organizers instead of creating a speaker page for every speaker, which is inevitably going to be out of date, creates a lot of work etc.

Doing this dramatically reduces the number of pages on individual WordCamp sites, thus making it less work for the organizing team and reducing duplicate content between WordCamp sites.

The WordPress profile page of course should link back to the WordCamp page, preferably with a filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. on the profile page showing future and previous speaking engagement for the user. This in turn improves interlinking of 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/ and WordCamp.org. In a later stage, we would ideally also tie this to WordPress.tv.

Would love to hear feedback for the next few weeks, say till end of June?

Moving Forward with Our Efforts

Contributor Days are productive because of the face to face interaction and the urgency: we want to get things done during the day 😉

How do we keep the momentum going? Folks, I am repeating myself here… but project management is the answer!

We have a Trello board and we don’t really use it. I suggest we discuss it, again, during our next team chat, July 4th.

Hopefully we can find a common procedure that I believe will make us more efficient.

Did I miss something? Add it in the comments, thanks!

WordCamp Europe 2019 – Community Team Plans

We are less than two months away from 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. Learn more. Europe 2019, which means it’s time to get organised!

WordCamp Europe and WordCamp US are what we consider flagship events and are always a great opportunity for teams to get together, contribute and onboard more people. There are going to be a whole lot of us present and we should take advantage of that and maximize our time together.

As we did last year, please add in the comments ideas and suggestions for tasks we could work on together while in Berlin.

I will be available to lead the table: do the initial presentation, take on one macro task of group of people to work during the day but I think there should be at least other two Community Team experienced members that can help with guiding people throughout the day.

Deadline to comment is May 19 so we can discuss this during the next two Community chats: after that date I will summarise in a “squad goals” post (like the one we had last year) and we will go from there!
