I’ve been really motivated by all the energy and contributions which have been coming out of the team and I can’t wait to see what we’ll build, but wanted to share just in case it wasn’t clear! > For the Marketing team, which is incredibly new and starting to gain momentum, > we don’t have any specific conflicts or issues to resolve – **please note** that > I’m not saying we don’t have a ton of work to do nor are there things we could > be doing better – but given the focus of the Summit to focus on issues & conflicts > which need in-person discussions/resolutions, it’s best if we give more room to > other teams and issues this time around. > The building and doing more part of marketing will happen as usual during Contributor > DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before > or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where > people get together to work on various areas of [https://make.wordpress.org/](https://make.wordpress.org/) > There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. > [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/) > and in our SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/). > The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)/ > weekly meetings.

Marketing the Community is off to a great > start & working well with the Community team, but Marketing to End Users, Marketing > to Developers, and Marketing to Agencies & Clients could have more ties to groups > like Training, Documentation, CoreCore Core is the set of software required to > run WordPress.
