Community summit topic and representatives

This is our last week to decide and post our topics/people, topics and people should be posted on the Community P2p2 "p2" is the name of the theme that blogs at make.wordpress.org use (and o2 is the accompanying plugin). When asked to post something "on the p2" by a member of the Polyglots team, that usually means you're asked to post on the team blog https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/. by March 3rd.

Everyone who would like to represent the team should comment on this post by 8pm EST on March 2nd.

WCEU 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/.

WCEU contributor day gathers more Polyglots on the ground than any other WordPress event. Besides onboarding new contributors, that gives the experienced Polyglots among us an opportunity to get together and discuss important issues as well as break out in sessions and work on global projects. Let’s see who’s going and decide what to discuss and work on.

@tacoverdo has done a post about it on make/polyglots. Please comment on that post if you’re attending WCEU and plan on going to WCEU contributor day: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2017/03/01/tldr-leave-a-comment-on/
