## Discussion on Local team’s role

 * One of our main goals for GWTD is to get more people involved in translating.
   But just posting call for meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are
   officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized 
   through [https://www.meetup.com/](https://www.meetup.com/). A meetup is typically
   a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek
   help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you 
   find options in your area. organizers isn’t usually enough.
 *  Outreach team can help by talking to more localeLocale Locale = language version,
   often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX 
   denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico. A list of all locales supported by WordPress
   in [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/)
   teams and inviting them to organize local events, prepare for the meetup, and
   mentor new or inexperienced GTEs
 * [@jordicuevas](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jordicuevas/), Local Team Lead,
   to arrange to contact GTEs and meet with the team
 * [@jordicuevas](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jordicuevas/) requested to identify
   regions and teams that can use some helping hands and assign team members to 
   reach out to them directly ([@nao](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nao/))
 * Marketing/ Communications – Discussion on finding to capture data from this research
   and to identify the GTEs who needed operational and marketing information, and
   for this to be done in a good data handling manner. This could also be used for
   enabling them to offer marketing ideas, advise of their promotions and provide
   quotes or short videos for the wider publicity.
 * Register of interest form – discussed for translators to be able to register 
   for information about the event and partipating
 * Call for organizers – on the 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](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/)/.
   and through other identified channel (further discussion to be arranged between
   local and communications teams)

   website had a system of collating form information easily in the same way as 
   WordCamps websites for processing requests for RSS feeds or volunteer submissions.
 * Post meeting, [@casiepa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/casiepa/) shared a link
   to a Google shared folder for the current team.
 * A trelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards
   to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing
   team uses for example: [https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing.](https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing)
   board has been created in draft by @abhanonstopnewsuk which captured communications
   and marketing elements emerging. Contact her to be added to the board with your

   for the website. Will add a card to the Trello board with a link to the google
   doc. Has a few question about the 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
