Some things I’ll be putting on the agenda:
- WordPress day (I’d love to make this happen in 2016!)
- Working with / participation from the big WP hosting groups (GoDaddy, WP Engine, Bluehost, etc.) – getting marketing contacts, soliciting / encouraging contributions and materials to .org, etc.
- Deciding on next projects for the marketing group (for Contributor Days and more)

I’m interested in hearing what the big goals are for 2016, before digging into executional detail. 🙂 Can we cover some of that off during the first SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. meeting?

  @andymci – I think the short answer is: there aren’t any, as of now. We’ll have to see who shows up ready to work and what we can accomplish as a group! And yes, we should chat about this during the meeting. 🙂

I’d love to join these chats, however, 8 pm GMT is a bit late for me. Are we trying to get both Europe and the US in, Sara? Doesn’t something in the European working hours time range make a bit more sense if that’s the case? Even an hour earlier would be better.

Other than that, the Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. is working on a Global WordPress translation day, we would love the input and help of the marketing team if you’re interested in helping us to make it happen.

  This time also allows Asia to participate, which I think is a good way to start being inclusive 🙂

  When is this being planned for? Would it make sense to do the same day as WP day (which I suggested was around WP’s birthday in May)?

    Planned for end of March/ mid-April, still gathering thoughts about it from the teams. A bit more information here: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2016/02/08/wordpress-global-translation-day/
