http://wordfest.live was a huge success, Big thanks to @Hauwa Abashiya and @courane01 , congrats to @meher and @Pooja Derashri for presenting.  Thanks @manzwebdesigns for swinging by for a chat as well.

An upcoming event with more details as they become available: https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2021/07/13/wordpress-translation-day-2021-planning-call-for-organizers/.

Translation Days are coming up.  While the work of this is largely in PolyGlots area, it is also something that Learn should keep on the radar.  GlotPress in the works for Learn to localize it fully like Docs and such.

The next action on Translation Day(s) will involve discovering how the #training team can partner with those wanting to translate Learn, though the event will not focus on Learn specifically.

FSE Calls for Testing: Theme.json and 5.8RC. 5.8 Rundown tomorrow 16UTC. It’ll be a casual chance to explore really what has shipped in 5.8.  While this is now in the past, the training team can still participate in checking out all the new features thoughtfully. This will help the training team be better prepared to write those lessons. 

Team hangout/Coffee Hour (non-work). Want to participate next week?  Complete the survey here: Doodle Poll.

Sprint

The team is using the Sprint methodology to track work on a monthly basis. As it’s nearing the end of July, now is a good time to revisit what we had planned for July, In particular we are looking at:

  1. What worked?
  2. What can we improve?
  3. Any blockers

 A number of lesson plans the team wanted to work on:

The team have 6 drafts in progress, the team is also thinking about co-working and tag-team session. they tried something similar a while back and a lot of people were quite receptive.

July Sprint was Learn Functionality Goal, the team have had a lot of traction on this and working with other teams like #docs and #marketing. The Slides PluginPlugin 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, print friendly style sheets on lesson plans, UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. audit and proposal to redo the entry into lesson plans are all high priority items.

The team also cover our Team Goals in the Sprint. This did include auditing

For August Sprint,  @azhiyadev will draft something for August Sprint based on the discussions and following on from meeting on Friday and then present it present it on the next Training team meeting (Tuesday at 16:00 UTC).

Welcome: @Michael Burridge @daniel @Tomás @Reyes Martínez

News

WordFest Live is coming up.  We’ve got quite a few people from our team that will be participating in some capacity.  @azhiyadev @meher @webtechpooja and others, including some folks that contributed quite a bit ago to the team. @courane01 will be there with her work colleagues in the sponsor area.

No Office Hour this Friday. Join us at WordFest.

2.2 Auditing update

  1. As #docs and training team know well, wrangling all the content that needs to be updates when a release happens is a huge undertaking.
  2. We have proposed an audit tool (a custom pluginPlugin 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 to use on .org sites)
    https://make.wordpress.org/training/2021/05/28/proposal-an-audit-tool-for-learn/
  3. @azhiyadev and @courane01 have begun work digging through our team’s TrelloTrello 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. board on how we maintain all the content on Learn. Check Here, the stages of content.
  4. We need help appending all the new articles from #docs to the related Trello cards. This serves as research for whomever writes the lesson plan or creates the workshop video.
    We also need help writing objective statements.  These are the expected learning outcomes.  @cousett did an amazing job with a few, but we need a few more queued up to put lesson plans into the next column “You can help”.  The “You can help” column means all the research and prep work is done and the lesson plan is ready to be drafted.
    We hope to track this all one day directly inside Learn to make the new contributor experience less intimidating. That audit tool will sure help.
  5. To see the new topics based upon this release, view the bottom of the “lesson plan and workshop ideas” column
  6.  #fse-outreach-experiment will continue to have calls for testing.

Sprint

Check July Sprint

In the Sprint functionality goals:

  1. Slides plugin – @Hugh Lashbrooke agrees this is a need for Learn.  Also seeing dev contributors on Learn help us with this.
  2. Print friendly style sheets on lesson plans. Meetups are encouraged to use our lesson plan when seeking topics to present.  These don’t convert to PDFs well at this time. Ex: https://learn.wordpress.org/lesson-plan/reusable-blocks/
  3. There’s a UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. audit underway,  funded by Automattic. The agency conducting the audit focuses on learning management systems, so this will be super focused in on our goals. @Michael Burridge, this is what @courane01 referred to in #docs.
  4. with that we have a proposal to redo the entry into lesson plans https://github.com/WordPress/learn/issues/153#issuecomment-742071417. 
    Ultimately, we’ll want to consider the journey through all of Learn. Learn will include: lesson plans, workshops, workshop discussion groups, and courses.

Sprint Training team goals:

  1. We work with @Hugh Lashbrooke and the incoming instructional designers (sponsored by Automattic) to get some wording on Learn similar to WPTV about creative commons/gpl licensing, how we mention brands and when we pick whatever plugin/theme/tool to show in our content, etc.
  2. We did audit the Trello (thanks @azhiyadev)
  3. Retro: we will do this as the first meeting in Aug wrapping up July’s work and looking ahead to Aug work.

Open Discussions

So much discussion happened here, some questions and answers I am trying to summarize here:

@JunaMa was struggling in understanding the Trello board, which @courane01 guided towards.

@michaelBurridge asked, Is the purpose of learn.wordpress.org to provide materials for trainers to deliver talks/workshops/sessions, etc. such as lesson plans, rather than to provide learning materials that newcomers to WordPress can use directly, such as step-by-step tutorials, learning curriculums, etc..?

On which @courane01 replied:   It’s both. The training team began as a way to provide materials to trainers, so 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 and others could use our info. We hope to have a lesson plan first that helps a workshop presenter know the scope of what to include and accounts for all the teacher-type stuff like objective statements, assessment (quiz) questions, etc.
The lesson plans provide a review of all the materials needed as well.
Then workshop videos show “how-to” and discussion groups are there for people to interact in real-time, often Zoom.
We’re working toward fully-formed courses. There are a few in trial phases now on Learn. Polyglots launched one that onboards people to the Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/..

The agenda for the meeting can be found here

1) Introductions and Welcome

Attendance: @azhiyadev @courane01 @webtechpooja @chaion07 @thisisyeasin @peteringersoll @Frederico B. Teixeira @caseymilne @ashiquzzaman

Over the past week, @Frederico B. Teixeira @bransom @colorful-tones has joined the Training team

2) News

Thanks to @harishanker @evarlese and @angelasjin for facilitating the Ride Along. This is super helpful information around how the workshops on Learn are considered and approved.

Workshop Ride Along Replay

As the work of wrangling content on Learn shifts more to the Training team, we are learning how Workshops have been approved and what work goes into approving presenters.

From that, we will continue to work on the idea of the Deputy program with @Hugh Lashbrooke, as that is currently still a #community-team function.  The rest of the process resembles how training has accepted lesson plan proposals through to finished published materials in the past.   https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/getting-started/how-we-work-together/#our-development-workflow

Anyone can submit ideas for content to https://learn.wordpress.org/contribute/. This will help connect folks more specifically into the workflow needed.

We have a few FSE Calls for Testing available: Theme.json and 5.8RC. These are great opportunities to see what is coming with the release of WordPress 5.8 on July 20.

By doing the calls for testing, we can start auditing Learn for what needs to be revised and documenting on our team Trello what new content should be created.

Last week we had a quick review of our June Sprint. For those of you that are new here, we are using the Sprint methodology to track our work on a monthly basis.

Our work is currently broken down into 4 sections:

  • Sprint content on Learn goals (Lesson Plans)
  • Sprint functionality on Learn goals
  • Sprint team functionality goals
  • Stakeholders meeting

1. Sprint content on Learn goals (Lesson Plans we are working on)

These are still being worked on we carry them into July (includes the current state of the lesson plan):

The following were set up as workshops; however, @wpscholar, @paaljoachim, @caseymilne are working on creating a lesson plan. @wpscholar will be taking the lead on drafting the lesson plans. We will add this to the July sprint.

Still needs an owner, unfortunately, we didn’t have any takers for this one. We carry it on to July.

 2. Sprint Functionality on Learn

The following is still ongoing and has picked up traction the past few weeks. 

3. Sprint Team Functionality Goals

The following was completed:

The following has not been completed but has gained some traction this past week, we will roll it into July:

The following are ongoing tasks and will continue to roll into further Sprints:

3) Stakeholders Meeting

We didn’t set one up but we have had informal discussions with #docs, #marketing, and #meta This will roll into July.

4) July Sprint

For July Sprint – in addition to the tasks that may carry over from June, we are looking at adding the following:

  • Lesson Plans on Learn – adding new content to the TrelloTrello 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. board for things that are changing in 5.8 including reviewing what we currently have on there (part of the audit)
  • Functionality of Learn – Consider partnering with Five for the Future contributors for Learn functionality. We’ve had a few companies considering supporting Learn and we would like to work with them on this.

Training Team Goals – 

  • Audit Learn Content Trello board. It will get quite noisy over the next few weeks but if we can get our board into a state that makes it easier for old and new contributors to understand.
  • Deputy program (as mentioned previously by @Courane01)

2) News

@azhiyadev and @courane01 did meet to test out blocks in the widgets and thankfully didn’t run into too many issues.

Our content on Learn around using widgets at the moment should be added to the July sprint to revise.  We can use the revision tool to get the articles ready for the 5.8 version which is releasing on 20 July.

A custom pluginPlugin 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, #meta created for Learn and recently implemented by #docs.  It restores the workflow we had with GitHubGitHub GitHub 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/.  We can save articles as a revision and have them approved/ready for the upcoming release.

Classic plugin is used to append to the articles, but all screenshots of the Appearance > Widgets interface and CustomizerCustomizer Tool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings. > Widgets will need to be redone, along with some content. 

Call for an audit of the existing lesson plan for the new WordPress release. Locating content to update based upon releases is an interesting thing.

@zzap and @courane01 will meet on Friday for a discovery session on how #docs audits all the help/devhub content to better identify that info for a joint proposal across teams.

#marketing has been a huge help in asking questions about what we need and helping us draft a proposal as a wider cross-team initiative.

For testing @annezazu published this one recently: https://make.wordpress.org/test/2021/06/24/call-for-testing-thrive-with-theme-json/.

And the next office hour on Friday will open for a Zoom meeting for testing as a team if others are interested. 10am UTC.

  • This is an informal session, helps us get more familiar with what is coming, and identify what content we’d need to revise on Learn.
  • If you’re interested in joining, check the channel Friday morning at that time.

@evarlese @harishanker and @angelasjin did a ride-along session this morning.  They showed how they take workshop submissions through a vetting process and discussed all the organizing behind the scenes that happens.  Several of the #training team folks were present. We will publish the replay of the session and links to the many resources as a post on the Training team P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org/./blog.

The Core Development Team builds WordPress. and Testing a TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. ticket” or a Github PR are both Lesson plans. He trashed both and submitted the workshop instead on which @azihyadev said anyone other will pick that lesson plan later to draft and will take reference from the workshop.

We have the following which are being worked on in collaboration, these will continue to stay on the list. 

4) Stakeholders Meeting

We don’t have anything formal but we are working with a few of the other Make teams – hoping to formalise something in July.

5) July Sprint

We’re in discussions with @evarlese and @Hugh Lashbrooke regarding the next steps for July. If there is anything that you feel we should aim to tackle, please let us know. I’ll get the agenda for next week up early so that people can comment. We’ll then take the next meeting to go through it.
