A GitHub project board has been created to use for team coordination while preparing for WCEU 2020 Contributor Day. Folks have volunteered to help with the following:
Handbook: @pfefferle, @Crixu and @amykamala have volunteered to work on the updates to contributor pages in the Hosting Handbook. A GitHub issue was created for establishing a proposal for the new Handbook Sections. A “Getting Started” page has been created in the HandBook but does not yet have content.
Video: @amykamala suggested that each team member record a quick 30 second video clip saying “hello from [location]” to edit together with a welcome from team reps at the beginning and end.
The dialogue in the video might sound like this: “Hello from Bangladesh” .. “Hello from Japan” .. “Hello from the UK” .. “Hello from Germany” .. “Hello from France” .. “Hello from the USA” .. and then “Hello from the Make WordPress Hosting Team! Thank you for joining…”
@nullbyte suggested that the team “add something that everyone likes about hosting. For example:
‘I like ngnix rewrite rules’
‘I enjoy combing through log files’…”
Office Hours: The team has not yet established a time slot for office hours. It was proposed that open office hours be held in place of weekly team meetings by some of the team members.
Do you have any thoughts or ideas about the WCEU project? Would you like to participate? Feel free to leave a comment below!
