WordCamp US Contributor Day: What Should We Work On?

It looks like we’ve got about a dozen people so far who have listed the MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. team as their preference for WCUS Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. 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/. (Sunday, December 9th). How best can we spend our time together?

Here are a few ideas:

A scrub for tickets that have patches and need a little jumpstart
Work on a tough bug that has been lingering a long time, like #703
Improvements to the Meta Environment

Other ideas?

We’ll also have thumb drives available pre-loaded with the Meta Environment to help with onboarding new contributors.

I’m so glad you asked! The Training Team has spent the past year revamping their tools and workflows. The capstone of that effort is to be able to publish our completed lesson plans to the learn.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ site. Might the MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. Team be able to take a look at https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3644 and help us with making that happen? We’ve been working with the Design Team and Marketing Team to develop mockups which can be seen here: https://wp.invisionapp.com/share/BNP0V7QXRF8#/screens More info here: https://trello.com/c/ck3UjgcA

I believe this would also touch on https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3593 which would fall under the “Improvements to the Meta Environment” that you suggested.

Would this be possible?

    To close this loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop., I chatted with Julie in person. I think that getting the learn site complete is a great idea (assuming all the assets are ready and available by Sunday).

I think rare in-person times like this are best spent doing things that we can’t do online (or can’t do as well).
- Onboard new contributors (because the real-time feedback and help can make getting over hurdles a lot quicker/easier)
- Brainstorming ideas for big-picture/high-impact projects (although no decisions should be made there, because that would exclude people who can’t attend; instead, a proposed could be posted to the p2 for discussion).
One high-impact idea that might be worth discussing is migrating MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. projects to native GitGit Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Most modern plugin and theme development is being done with this version control system. https://git-scm.com/. repositories. Since a lot of our repos are smaller and more isolated than CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., we can migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another.

  Ohh, I like this idea a lot 🙂

I think HelpHub might need some last mile help on Sunday, but I’m not sure. Also, if there is anyone who wants to cut down on those old “might never fix” tickets, that would be wonderful!

This might be something to work on, it might be something that already kind of exists. It would be great if a theme/pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party docblock could contain a ref to the source of the Code, be it 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/ or some other version control space.

The `Plugin URI` is an option for this, obviously. Would be nice to follow the NPM model, and have a `respository` field. Would be nice to surface that field in the sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. and developer panel.
