These are the topics for this week’s meeting:
1️⃣ News and updates
- Meeting arrangement during the summer
- Our sustainable events handbook in the spotlight (here, here and here)
- Planning for WordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. US contributor table
➡️ Looking for feedback
Proposals and discussions in https://make.wordpress.org/sustainability/ and GitHub (General discussions).
- Feedback would be appreciated on Addressing Overlapping Initiatives and Improving Collaboration Across Teams
- The Sustainable Events Handbook section: you can make suggestions (or corrections) directly editing the page content on Github 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/ (on each page you will see a “edit” option with the Github icon)
- Feature overview of the WP Sustainability plugin and the guidelines: feedback and addings to the 2 documents are welcome
- Training team testing GatherPress as an alternative for Meetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through 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. (enhancing the data available for metrics tracking contributions and more financially sustainable for the project?)
