The marketing team has unified at WCUS. Here is the document for our meeting notes. Feel free to read the scroll back in Slack.

We do not have a meeting 12/27/17 or 1/3/18.

@bridgetwillard began the meeting by starting a discussion on “cleaning things up” and getting our ideas down.

Task of the day ‘WP Jargon Glossary for New People’

@harryjackson1221 suggested we organize jargon terms alphabetically, rather than sorting in categories, @bridgetwillard agreed; there was some discussion regarding how to sort the terms.

@harryjackson1221 suggested using brand descriptions from the actual brands, such as MySQLMySQL MySQL is a relational database management system. A database is a structured collection of data where content, configuration and other options are stored. https://www.mysql.com/., ApacheApache Apache is the most widely used web server software. Developed and maintained by Apache Software Foundation.

The Core Development Team builds WordPress.-Flow with review of GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.
