Hello team!

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. This means that our regularly scheduled meeting TODAY, 11/21, and next Tuesday, 11/28 at 19:00 UTC in the #training channel of the 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/. will NOT happen.

We will adjust the meeting time after WordCamp US. Based on the results of our Doodle survey and multiple conversations over the course of recent team meetings, the weekly team meeting is likely to be rescheduled to Thursdays at 19:30 UTC after WordCamp US. Please post any last comments/thoughts/issues with the new meeting time on our post about the survey as soon possible.

We DO still need to finish planning for WordCamp US 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/. (in Nashville on December 3rd) as a team. This conversation should continue asynchronously in the #training channel and in the comment thread of our 2017 WordCamp US Contributor Day post. We will formalize an agenda in the next week and a half as WordCamp US approaches. If you are not available to attend WordCamp US in person and want to participate in a team check in at some point that day, please comment on the post with your interest and availability that day (please include time zones with all times or use UTC time!).

Please ask any questions you have as comments on this post or in Slack! I am looking forward to seeing many of you at WordCamp US and regrouping virtually with all of you in Slack.
