First up, thanks for being amazing and taking time to run a design section at your contribution day. This guide hopefully will allow you to do that easily.
It is really important we have design represented at the contribution days. It is a way for us to get new contributions, to meet each other, and build up the connection between design and all the other groups.
Check the guidelines on how to facilitate. It’s fairly easy to do and doesn’t require any seniority or special expertise, just check you feel ok with the various tasks detailed in there.
Let us know in the designSlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. that you are going to be doing this. This way we can support you. If you tell us the time we may even be around to support remotely – please ask if you need this.
Familiarise yourself with the following handbook pages:
First steps: this will help you get people up and running.
Areas to contribute: this will help you work out what tasks people can do on the day.
Write a few sentences you can say as an introduction about what the design team does, should you get asked to say that at the start of the day. You can find some useful content on our about page.
