(We have alternated our weekly team meetings according to the timezone. This week we are having the Team Meeting in the EMEA timezone, and a Coffee Hour was held in the APAC timezone at 07:00 UTC.)
A week ago, a few team members were at 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. Asia contributor day and that was a nice experience. here is some highlight:
25 contributors participated (including online)
A dozen new contributors onboarded
Started new content translations for Japanese, Arabic, and Khmer
Worked on promoting the Individual Learner Survey
Cross-team collaboration with Marketing and Docs
Discussed team goals for 2023
Marketing collaborated with Training during contributor day by drafting social media content for the resources available on LearnWP
@digitalchild looking to automate anything new that we publish going to the spreadsheet the contributors use for social promotions and ensure the theme of Learn WordPress maintains its functionality when the redesign comes our way.
Please go through it and provide feedback in the Onboarding Feedback Form which will be open for a month.

We were aiming to publish 2023 goals post by March 1. But due to health issue of our team members, it will get delayed by 2-3 days. We will try our best to publish this in a week.
Due to go out as a post on the Learn WordPress website at 07:00 on March 1st. We will need to think through a subscription process to get more folks signed up for the newsletter on the Learn WordPress site. Ideally, we can give the link to Marketing to share the new updates more broadly going forward.
Meeting times

Online Workshops in WordPress Admin
A discussion has started to include Online Workshops in the WordPress admin dashboard widgetWidgetA WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user.: Proposal: Modify the Events and News widget to show topic-based meetups worldwide.
The Individual Learner Survey has now closed. We have had 583 responses. Project analysts @webcommsat and @salonipatel, will now review and analyse the survey data. The deadline for this is March 5, 2023. (Note this was the original deadline for analysis before the survey deadline was extended)
Other work in progress
The following items are other projects that team members have volunteered to take on.
Training Team Site GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ blocks – @amitpatelmd
@courane01 said: “Join in on Friday’s coffee hour to learn how LearnWP uses Sensei Pro and what features we might want to consider including on the site. I’ll record and post the replay on the team site.”
