Marketing Team Vision
Our vision for the Marketing Team is to be the go-to resource on strategy and content for other WordPress teams. We reiterate our mission each week so that everyone who is new to the team understands what our goals are. This helps with onboarding.
We’d love you to join the Marketing Team. If you have any questions or feel lost (all of us do at some point), please feel free to ping 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.” any of us in Slack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.. We’re here to help guide and mentor you. xoxo ~ Bridget (@gidgey on Slack)

Done 7/11/18
We published the survey about where people get news.
We put the accessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).

OWNER: @gidgey / @jayman
- What is going well? @gidgey: I’m not sure if @Jayman has the bandwidth for fonts and colors but I’m fine with anyone contributing to that section. Also, I need to write out (or am open to help with) the brand voice section. The SEO section is done. Quite a lot is actually done. But I will be at WordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Nijmegen’s Contributor 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/. along with Jen and Yvette so if it’s still not done August 30, we’ll spend time working on it there, too.

WordPress.TV potential marketing videos
Trello Link: https://trello.com/c/N7me1xaT/145-wordpresstv-potential-marketing-videos
Task-Lead: @webcommsat
- What is going well? @webcommsat : I have received 25 new video suggestions in non English language. Would someone on the marketing team who is fluent in Spanish could help with some of these, this would be very good and can be a standalone sub task? Do any of the volunteers from the last few weeks of meetings need any help with the videos they are reviewing? If so, please get in touch. Please do add you
- What can someone new in Marketing help with? It will be really helpful if reviewers can sign into Google or add their slack id to videos you are reviewing. It also means we can thank you and add you to the list of marketing team contributors. In the last two weeks, an additional 10 videos have been reviewed as useful by volunteers and 4 suggested for potential follow up areas. Thank you.
