Translating content on LearnWP
We’ve had a lot of interest in translating courses to other languages. @courane01 is in discussion with @evarlese in #polyglots for further insight into the rollout of GlotPress. And also discussed with @dd32 briefly about the interest and how to work smartly as a team, knowing the site functionality changes, how long it will be (quite a while) for GlotPress fully available, etc.
Other decision-making topics:

@courane01:
- Keep working on 5.9 related content, compare Jan sprint with Trello 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., assist with creating the Feb sprint, get some extra sleep.
- Reviewing the new courses, write the Retro post, review 2 recaps, work on Trello > 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/ move, revise the audio on the Navigation workshop vid and reupload to all the corresponding locations, meet with interested contributors, publish team update on /updates
- Time
- Hopefully, Trello > Github will be ready, finish reviewing 2 lesson plans and a course. Comment on all the posts that needed feedback.
@azhiyadev:
- Worked on February Sprint and made sure there is a Trello card for all the content.
- All the above and I reviewed a couple of lesson plans, courses and wrote some tweets for the Yoast contributor 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/.. If there are any Trello cards missing from the Sprint, please let me know.
- Time
- Continue reviewing any content.
@arasae:
- I have a lot of things moving right now!
- Child Themes is in a bulleted outline of a lesson plan; theme.Json JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. overview has materials now on Styles, so that’s coming along; I discovered something fun (sidebars!) and made an accidental workshop.
- Time. Still being pulled in lots of directions.
- Next week, I will finish the workshop and continue building the lesson plans. I will also probably start development on a Query Loop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop. workshop, to accompany that lesson plan.
@kemmy99:
Worked on meeting recap and worked with @courtney, @hauwa to promote Lesson plans to 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. organisers.

Open Discussions
Yoast contributor day recap
@courane01 worked with @yvettesonneveld to assist the marketing team table during last Friday’s Yoast contributor day event. They wrote micro-copy related to each type of content on LearnWP, with links to the exact sources. They tried out the Social Image Generator plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party that Automattic acquired with plans of this coming to Jetpack announced.
