Agenda: Weekly Polyglots Chat – October 7, 2020 (6 UTC)

Here’s the agenda for our weekly chat.

This meeting will be held at Wednesday, October 7, 2020, 6:00 GMT in the #polyglots channel in the Making WordPress SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/..

  • Welcomes
  • Weekly 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/ stats
  • International Translation Day
    • How was your experience? Please share photos, thoughts, stats, blog posts, and more.
    • Anything we should do again, change, or improve next time? Add them to the retrospective sheet!
  • Updates:
    • Polyglots team survey: still looking for more volunteers. If you are curious to find out what we can do to encourage new/existing contributors to contribute, this will be interesting for you!
    • Mini-package idea: next step – a 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/. post? What do we need to find out before making the decision?
  • Open floor

If you have any additions to the agenda, please share them in the comments.
