How to participate:
As a host:
If you are interested in hosting one or more topics, please comment below.
You can contact @carike on Slack if you would like more information.
As a guest via StreamYard:
You DO NOT need to register a StreamYard account in order to enter the stream as a guest.
You DO NOT need to download any program in order to use StreamYard. It is an in-browser solution.
You DO NOT need to appear on-screen if that is not something you are comfortable with. An audio-only option is available. We’re going to be using a very practical approach, so I’m going to be screen-sharing most of the time anyway.
We will provide new contributors with instructions on joining StreamYard as a guest via e-mail.
Instructions can also be found here: Guest Instructions: https://streamyard.com/resources/docs/guest-instructions/
We will provide new contributors with a link to join the stream via Direct Message (DM) on Slack, as there can only be six contributors “onscreen” (or via audio) at any one time (i.e. two hosts and four new contributors), with up to four additional new contributors in the “waiting room”.
As a guest via YouTube:
You DO NOT need to register an account with YouTube in order to watch the stream.
You DO need to register an account and be logged in to YouTube in order to participate in the live chat.
StreamYard supports integrating live chat messages from YouTube.
This will allow for more real-time input and also allow participation among those who do not want to use audio, or appear onscreen.
We are trying to recruit experienced contributors to help moderate the YouTube live chat to ensure compliance with the WCEU Code of Conduct, as well as to highlight any questions, comments and suggestions to the hosts.
Please comment below if you are able to help with YouTube live chat moderation.

On the day:
Coding working group:
13:00 – 16:00 UTC (coding working group)
Garrett will be available on Slack during this time.
The coding working group will participate via Slack, Core Trac and GitHub.
@garrett-eclipse is going through the list of privacy-related tickets to mark them with the “good first bug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.” tag A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.) where applicable.
For the more adventurous, there is the option to contribute to “help wanted” tickets for the next major release A release, identified by the first two numbers (3.6), which is the focus of a full release cycle and feature development. WordPress uses decimaling count for major release versions, so 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, and 3.1 are sequential and comparable in scope. (WordPress 5.5.).
An overview of current privacy tickets can be found here:
https://make.wordpress.org/core/components/privacy/
Non-coding working group:
The non-coding working group will have two two-hour sessions.
13:30 – 15:00 UTC
How to market without destroying user privacy (working title only).
Hosts: @carike and @jonoaldersonwp
During this session, we hope to identify online marketing best-practices that can be implemented even when users have opted-out (or not opted-in, depending on the jurisdiction) to being tracked with the view of creating actionable Trac tickets and / or to provide a resource for content marketing.
Topics will include:
– What is informed consent in a marketing context?
– Which digital marketing strategies were employed pre-the-ability-to-track-across-platforms and how may we able to adapt these?
– Which data points may still remain available for analytics if a user opts out of / does not opt in to the collection of their PPI.
Jono is “special ops” at Yoast SEO and we are very excited to have him participate.
16:00 – 18:00 UTC
A case study in the application of the Privacy Workflow Document and the Disclosures and Permissions (DPT) tabs.
Hosts: @carike and @pepe
In this session, we will be attempting to harmonize the Privacy Workflow Document and the Disclosures and Permissions (DPT) tabs and apply them practically to the WP Job Manager plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.
The desired outcome for this session is an action plan for an education drive among plugin and theme authors regarding the proposed disclosures.json file.
Pepe has previously presented at WordCamp, is very involved with the #core-privacy team and was helped to create the draft Privacy Workflow Document. His insight will be invaluable to this session.
