The Make Marketing team is currently inactive. Work on the WordPress Showcase remains open to contributions, and marketing amplification requests can be made via GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/. For those with marketing talents, we currently recommend connecting with the Community team to promote WordPress events or with one of the many other Make teams. For any other ideas or discussions unrelated to these contributing areas, you can use the GitHub discussion area or Make Slack.

Props to @meher for drafting notes for Global Marketing Meetings dated 7th July 2021.

3. Tasks and Collaboration
Abha mentioned that there are two parts to our ongoing collaboration today.
- Part A: Any more social media draft posts on the features in the release.
- Part B: What is your favorite feature and why?
The link to both documents can be found in this slack thread.
Olga shared the post to WordPress 5.8 Field Guide.
Abha mentioned that a couple of questions that have come in on FSE and whether this will be in 5.9. More details can be found in this slack thread.
Josepha mentioned that yes you can still help and yes you can still test. We’ve still got the #fse-outreach-experiment running and all are welcome there.
While there are some iterations, Josepha will be working with Matias to gather the most likely features for WP5.9.
Josepha mentioned that as a heads up, he has raised a flag about whether “full site editing” is our best term or not. Because WP5.9 is bound to be really complex and also have many user-facing changes, we’re hoping to get the big picture together early so we have a lot of time to raise awareness
People continued to contribute to different parts of the WordPress 5.8 social media drafts.
