# Marketing Team Notes – November 14, 2018

## Marketing Team Vision

Our vision for the Marketing Team is to be the go-to resource on strategy and content
for other [WordPress teams](https://make.wordpress.org/updates/). 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 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.” any of us in 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/).
We’re here to help guide and mentor you. xoxo ~ Bridget (@gidgey on Slack)
