  • Social Media stats
    • Per Brett McSherry:
      • WordPress had an amazing week this week. The launch of 6.3 offered up some opportunities to engage with the community with several campaigns, which in turn gave us one of our better weeks of the year. We additionally hit a milestone this week, gaining over 1k (1,087) new followers during the week, which, in turn, moved us to over 2.2 million followers in total. We had 10,729 (112% increase) pieces of engagement with our followers based on the content produced. This is an amazing feat as we outpaced the increase in impressions (33.1%), which suggests that the levels of engagement grew by more than the impressions alone. A similar story with our link clicks which has a 70% increase this week. The week saw several campaigns do well; however, the highlight really was the 6.3 release. We like to see an average of 2.0% engagement rate with our campaigns. This week we have 2.7%, which is really good. Again this number is from our 6.3 posts which had a huge 3.3% engagement rate on all posts for the week.
      • The overall performances shown highlight the work on amplifying the 6.3 release and working to excite our audience about the new WordPress.
      • Here is a look at the numbers for the week:
        • Impressions: 364,625
        • Engagements: 10,729
        • Link clicks: 2,763
        • Engagement Rate: 2.7%

      • Will this be doable in 6.3?
      • Need to check with the Mobile team and get a response about whether Jetpack is cut out or if something is left. A reasonable answer is needed if this is something to be concerned about. Right now, one of the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. committers moved the ticket for the Future release for this reason, so to move it back, we need to check with the Mobile team.

  • WPPhotos Social Content Contribution Guide #239
    • how does this relate to #178 and #189?
    • This #178 GitHub issue is like the “macro” card of the WPPhotos campaign, where people can find the different ways to contribute to it. Also, each way to contribute has its own GitHub card with more info. They can all be found here: https://github.com/WordPress/Marketing-Team/labels/WPPhotos.

  • Develop communications materials for Contributor Mentorship Pilot Program #253
    • Inaugural cohort has concluded, it would be excellent to align work with @harishanker to compile, review, and revise all of the documentation and communication for future use

      • In tandem with the aesthetic overhaul, there is a separate discussion about how submissions to the Showcase are handled. More info here:
      • A lot of work is currently underway regarding the underlying components that will contribute to this design. In theory, this project could be completed in September from a development perspective, but the timeline is dependent on community feedback and the like.
  • WP20 Book: Building Blocks: The Evolution of WordPress 2013-2023 #223
