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.

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/, the Marketing to the Developers Team met and ran a few surveys.
March 17th, meeting notes.
Overview:
Developer and marketing agency subgroups discussed to keep it all moving forward
- We’re taking a look at the Marketing to the Agency Subgroup’s questions and are working on writing actionable case study around developers.
- Our goal is to complete two developer case studies, done-done.
- We’re collaborating with John Parkinson from the WordPress.TV team to generate corresponding video testimonials.
Actions:
Since a few of us were at WCATL we completed the following:
- We’ve created a survey that can be filled out by Developers so that we can begin on our first case study audience and feature/challenge/requirement segment.
- If we can find relevant companies, we’ll do an interview, produce a written case study, and create a video to accompany
Links to be provided if surveys get completed.
Survey:
- Reviewed longer survey created by Agency subgroup and now we’re trying to tee up the agency subgroup folks with some ‘case study leads’ to generate interest in your current survey starting with a shorter “generate internet” survey to folks at WCATL here.
