Our second synchronous session will occur on Friday, February 17 during WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress.

Goals to roll over
Listed below are goals session participants thought would be good to roll over into the 2023 goals.
- Release roadmap of new content (that isn’t tied to WP releases/features)

New 2023 goals
Listed below are new goals session participants would like to see the Training Team work on this year.
- Work more closely with AccessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility)
- Create a 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/. checklist/template
- Test out a content creation cohort method that will work as a group to create 1 piece of content
- Plan for incorporating the WordPress playground / spin up a site and test along with the content
- A fully documented process set up for folks working on content localization
- Plan a course for beginner WordPress users

I’m just noting, due to unforeseen circumstances after WordCampWordCamp 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. Asia, the goals for this year will be posted a couple of days later than scheduled. But they’re coming!! 😃

I’d like to prioritize some website functionality. Often we hear from meetupMeetup 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. organizers that they love the lesson plans, however navigating around to find them is not ideal.
