The Make Marketing team is currently inactive. Work on the WordPress Showcase remains open to contributions, and marketing amplification requests can be made via GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/. For those with marketing talents, we currently recommend connecting with the Community team to promote WordPress events or with one of the many other Make teams. For any other ideas or discussions unrelated to these contributing areas, you can use the GitHub discussion area or Make Slack.
Marketing Slack meetings schedule – Wednesdays at 17:00 UTC
Now that we have four subgroups, it’s difficult to have just one meeting to cover them all. At WCUS I talked to most of the contributors about having rotating weekly meetings so all four subgroups have their time in 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/ each month.
Starting in January and moving forward, let’s meet on Wednesdays at 17:00 UTC, rotating amongst the subgroups. Find your local time zone via Google or World Time Buddy.
Each Wednesday’s meeting will feature a different subgroup:
- 1st Wednesday – Marketing the Community
- 2nd Wednesday – Marketing to End-Users
- 3rd Wednesday – Marketing to Developers
- 4th Wednesday – Marketing to Agencies and Clients
- 5th Wednesday (when/if) – no meeting.
So for January, the schedule will be:
- January 4 – 1st Wednesday – Marketing the Community
- January 11 – 2nd Wednesday – Marketing to End-Users
- January 18 – 3rd Wednesday – Marketing to Developers
- January 25 – 4th Wednesday – Marketing to Agencies and Clients
and so forth. I’ll post a schedule prior to the upcoming month and subgroups should post agenda items + a link to the Slack backscroll for those who missed the meeting.
I’ll be personally involved in helping lead the end-users subgroup, so I’d love for some volunteers to be present, help drive agenda, and post notes for each of the other subgroup meetings! Speak up in the comments.
