If you have any questions or feel lost( all of us do at some point), please feel free to pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point.

Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” any of us in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).

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](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/). London. Is there a Marketing Team logo we can use in addition to the WCLDN, WPLDN logos that will appear on these videos?

Please DM me if you are able to work on editing, subtitling these files. 1. **ii) Interviews done at WCBELFAST**** Mark S is continuing to work on these and is carrying out the basic edit due to recording issues from the kit used. When this has been completed, we will be able to work on the final editing, subtitling of these files etc. A Marketing logo, if available, would also be helpful for this. * **What is at risk?

I will cover this on one of the other cards. siobhanseija : The video is finished, thanks to some hard work by [@Yashwardhan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yashwardhan/) Rana (thank you!). All that’s left is subtitling. We’ve submitted the video to WordPress. tv and are waiting for it to be accepted. Once that happens, I’ll add the subtitles Siobhanseija: it needs to be online to add subtitles through Amara so we thought we could go ahead and submit it. If I need to send WP.tv a message that it still needs a logo, let me know. I didn’t know about that, was just trying to move this forward :slightly_smiling_face: webcommsat: We had hoped to add a WordPress marketing logo to this video. Is there one we can use? [Update – there is not a logo, but there is a ‘brand name’ and a web link we could use.] [@siobhanseija](https://profiles.wordpress.org/siobhanseija/) once it is subtitled, we can add some tags based on some work that has been done on this. It is going to be really great. Well done [@dushanthi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dushanthi/) and [@Yashwardhan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/yashwardhan/) Rana Siobhanseija: Amara.org makes it super easy to add subtitles, but it needs an online link of the video for that. When submitting it there’s no place to add tags so I guess that’s something we can do afterwards anyway? * **What is going well?  ** * What is at risk?   * What can someone new in Marketing help with? ### CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.

Please do join us. Update from Abha: * **What is going well?  From an initial review of materials out there to use at the end of this article and to pick out highlights within it, I have found that some of the bigger WordCamps are doing considerable work on supporting/ welcoming first time WordCampers and first time Contributors. To help capture some of the amazing initiatives and marketing  to this audience segment, I have drafted messages to go out on Slack and Twitter to encourage organisers and those new to add to a shared sheet with their examples, upload images of their campaigns (some of which may be added to the social media appendix document). This will also have a practical aspect of helping any organisers currently looking at this area and promoting how the Make WordPress marketing team is supporting and how they can help.** * What is at risk/ to be aware of? Nothing at risk. Need to make sure we do not use any campaigns a WordCamp tells us about which it has not launched yet to avoid affecting the impact of their planned communications. * **What can someone new in Marketing help with? ** Assistance with the Google sheet and collection of images, which could also be used for the social media appendix document. ### Review Edits for Jargon Glossary (9/19/18) Trello: [https://trello.com/c/pFqO81YW/192-review-edits-for-jargon-glossary](https://trello.com/c/pFqO81YW/192-review-edits-for-jargon-glossary) Task-lead: [@mcdwayne](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mcdwayne/) ### Read and Format Case Studies (from Survey Responses) (9/19/18) Trello Link: [https://trello.com/c/ZnT2LCjn/58-read-and-format-case-studies-from-survey-answers](https://trello.com/c/ZnT2LCjn/58-read-and-format-case-studies-from-survey-answers) Task-Lead: task-lead: [@harryjackson1221](https://profiles.wordpress.org/harryjackson1221/) [@siobhanseija](https://profiles.wordpress.org/siobhanseija/) @brenner22 * **What is going well?  [@harryjackson1221](https://profiles.wordpress.org/harryjackson1221/): We have a new submission for [https://alliancerally.org/](https://alliancerally.org/)– I will get a card and doc set up before next week in To Do** * **What can someone new in Marketing help with? ** Help format, and write copy, add yourself as task lead to the cards in to-do, and Tweet and Retweet this, or something similar: [https://twitter.com/harryj1221/status/1039898228777537538?s=20](https://twitter.com/harryj1221/status/1039898228777537538?s=20) ### Savii Case Study – Radish Concepts  (9/19/18) Trello: [https://trello.com/c/EAejEGtB/204-savii-case-study-radish-concepts](https://trello.com/c/EAejEGtB/204-savii-case-study-radish-concepts) Task-lead: This is a perfect spot for a newcomer that wants to contribute * **What is going well?
