GitHub Website Development– Learn.WordPress.orgWordPress.orgThe community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users.

Should we revise old videos, create new videos, or create supplementary videos?
UIUIUI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. sometimes changes subtly from when a workshop is originally published to the present
Text/Screenshots are easy to change; videos take a lot more work
QueryLoop UI has changed; the entire video had to be redone, including transcript and subtitles.
It’s difficult to replace videos on WordPress.tv, and old videos may be referenced other places, such as in courses
This feels like too much work for a small change.
Suggestions to fix this issue: Add supplementary videos; include WordPress version in each video to avoid confusion; reach out to video creators to edit their videos (who have the option to pass it along to someone else if they no longer want to work on a video they created)
What types of changes merit video updates?
Changes that make a significant difference in a user’s ability to use the feature require updates/supplemental videos
A Problem with Supplemental Videos: These may not be able to stand alone on WordPress.tv, so where could they live?
These supplementary videos could live in learn.wordpress.orgWordPress.orgThe 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/’s media library but this may not be an ideal solution
A process for cataloging what exists on WordPress.tv, templatizing workshop content, and structure around Version Number, Dates, and the Need for Updates would be ideal
Temporary resolution: Lots of great ideas – there will be a stand-alone meeting scheduled to discuss this issue further.
Special Interest – How do we clearing spam pledges? How do we track contributors folks editing on team sites, Learn, triaging HelpScout, etc? It would be helpful for someone to gather team data on these.
Community is working on the annual survey of MeetupMeetupAll 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. organizers, and we’d like to consider more ways that Learn can support them. Please check the post and share ideas.

A great way to contribute is to give thoughtful feedback to the issues linked above from all contributors and teams, not just the training team — definitely consider taking some time to give that feedback!
We are now breaking sprint posts into sections that mimic our boards on GithubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can 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/:
Assign yourself to the issue. If you are unable to do this, please comment on the issue and a Team Admin will assign you to the issue. Once you’ve selected your issue (card) please move it to the Drafts in Progress column.
Content Development
For every column in our Content Development board, we have a “How to use this column” issue to help you navigate the project board.
Every column in our Content Development board has a “how to use this column” issue.
Drafts: you’ll find the person assigned to the issue in the drafts column.
Reviews: these are ready for feedback, proofreading, comments, etc.
When you think about how to contribute to the training team, opportunities include:
Creating content from the “You can help” column
Reviewing someone else’s content that is almost ready to be published
Revising abandoned issues to be ready to go live. That includes many long – time lesson plans that mention brands and now meet our brand guidelines, or just need a refresh due to updates.
Website Development
If you want to contribute to the site functionality of Learn then please have a look at our Website development project board. Items on this board also have a priority label (high, medium and low) as well as good first issues.
Harder fixes (i.e. videos) should go directly to the content creators
How can we add starter files to exercises so learners can use and access them?
Direct folks to Github and teach them how to download the file from there
We would need to make an area in our repo for this
We may create a repo specifically to store useable assets for learners and teachers to utilize
We have a need for organizational contribution, specifically to go through lots of learn content, then use categories and tags to group related content
We may have a screensharing session in the future to teach people how to do this
See Slack link for more details about what this entails

Our WordCampWordCampWordCamps 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. Europe Contributor DayContributor DayContributor 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/. Planning board can be accessed here. We are still looking for task ideas, so feel free to share either directly on the board or in the Training Make Slack channel here.
Notes
Docs x-team collaboration request
Idea: visible change log at the bottom of pages that is automated
Discuss what needs to happen before Docs starts to link at Learn materials (Lesson plans and workshops merge) to prevent many broken links.
We’d like ideas for topics to go into GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

Host a Social Learning Space about how Training team uses GitHub
Training around how to submit an issue or topic idea in GitHub
Showing folks how to read our project board
Discuss in person at WCEU on how to apply and host a social learning space
What’s next?
Our discussion lead to four tasks for us to tackle on contributor day:
Create Needs Analysis Questions
Overhaul Submit Idea Form
Do a recorded GitHub training session
Instruct on how to make a Social Learning Space
WCEU Contributor Day is one week a way, we hope to see you there!
Workshop RevisionsRevisionsThe WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision.: new or supplementary video

Social Learning Spaces is difficult to translate and the some perceive this to refer to social welfare rather than community, as discussed in #polyglots, #training and #marketing. The discussion included recommendations to specify the community aspect or knowledge sharing. A post will be created to gather more formal feedback.
The “Review in Progress” column labeled 6.0 are our top priorities for review. Most reviews include watching a video to provide feedback OR proofreading for grammar, alt text, and other similar concerns.

We would like to have as much as possible content on the 24th
This is a similar goal to #docs. Of course, we know getting everything out at launch is still a stretch goal, or even lofty dream. But when picking what to work on next, if possible, picking something that we could have ready at launch would be a fantastic priority.If you’ve picked something up but know you reasonably won’t have it in near the end of next week, consider opening it up for others that might have capacity to do so
We’d like to conclude most new content being created by the end of next week so that we have a few days to review.

@Destiny has been doing a phenomenal job reaching out to folks that have recently joined the channel, reviewing if they’ve filled out the initial get started forms, and also outreach to the faculty members.

#meta has asked to help us elevate connecting our GitHub profiles on WordPress profile
You can go to your profile, select edit, and connect your accounts here Doing so will help with integrating to the GitHub WordPress organization and our team’s specific boards
If you are not attending WCEU, there are still good ways/reasons to get involved.
Contributor days in person are a time for folks to meet all the teams. There’s an opening session and then tables usually in a large conference area. People can break off to different teams to meet and greet.
As a team, we usually plan for the international camps together, and one person might take on the role of any comms with the organizers. Other times the coordinators are for more local camps. One person on the team that might prep the post on Training’s site welcoming folks for smaller city-level camps.
