@gidgey – For admin support
@AfshanaDiya, @dhruvpandya, @sagarprajapati – At the start of the meeting.
@mcdwayne, @miker – Missed the meeting.
At the start of the meeting, there was confusion for the time of the meeting. Is it 15:00 UTC OR 16:00 UTC? This is because of the daylight to standard time. @gidgey confirmed that the meeting time is 8 am pacific (15:00 UTC in Standard, 16:00 in Daylight Savings).
If someone sees the #marketing meeting time listed improperly somewhere please post the link on the #marketing slack channel or pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” @gidgey.
@maedahbatool and @skarjune have been discussing how to proceed with Case Studies.
General consensus at last meeting was that we could summarize cases with HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites. posts in the Handbook, but the best format for distribution of Case Studies would be PDF, to provide for a generic rich content format that can be widely shared and retain WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ Marketing as the source with a proper license for sharing. More discussion of acquisition, formatting, and distribution of Case Studies is needed.
@maedahbatool suggested to stick to the preview case study which got published.
@skarjune shared TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. card for the task – Read and format Survey answers. No work has been done as the members who were going to work, seem no longer involved in this task.
@maedahbatool suggested that there were total 13 WordPress agencies who have shared their findings. Some of the data which is submitted, does not permit to reveal client name and companies. This seem an interesting challenge.
@skarjune explained that the survey answers should be useful for Agencies to either adopt WordPress or explain to a reluctant client. He say that the cases need to be reviewed, edited, formatted, and check with the respondent that will be published. If no one is interest at this time, maybe this can be considered at #WCUS 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/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/..
@harryjackson1221 suggested that we need some sort of style guide. He said he will get @miker to help him out and see what they can come up with. @skarjune suggested it is a good idea to draft for a group review, perhaps for for feedback during WCUS Contributor Day.
@maedahbatool suggested that we go with quality not quantity. We should first preference to all those who have submitted all form details.
@harryjackson1221, said that he can procure some other cases as nice as the sample provided, as some of the answers have a lot of info, others not so much.
@skarjune suggested that publish a set of 3 cases to start with, that might generate more responses.
