Nomination for 2024 Training Team Reps

In the WordPress open-source project, each team has team representatives, abbreviated as reps. It’s time again to nominate the next round of Training Team Reps. (For a quick refresher of Team RepTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. roles across the WordPress project, see the Team Reps post on Team Updates.)

The Role

Historically, with the Training team, the team rep duration was around two years, and we had three reps at the time. They represent the team, collaborate with other teams, raise, manage, and address any issues. The time commitment in the role has averaged two to five hours per week.

The Training team has recently updated its documentation, clarifying the team rep role’s responsibilities. Please take a moment to read the handbook page “Team Rep (Representative).”

Clarifications to the Training Team’s Reps Structure

The mechanics of Team Reps vary from team to team. Each team will choose a selection process, the number of years of service, etc., that best serves the team’s needs.

In the handbook updates, this year’s Team Reps ( Benjamin Evans, Destiny Kanno, and Pooja Derashri ) clarified the following points regarding the team rep role. These were things the team had been doing for a while but weren’t well documented:

  1. The team strives to have 3 team reps representing diversity, as evaluated through the Team Values.
  2. Team Reps generally serve for 2 consecutive years, using the first year to get familiar and the second to train the incoming rep(s).

We also clarified with the Training Team Faculty members that with this 2 year guideline, Benjamin Evans and Destiny Kanno will automatically stay on as Team Reps for 2024.

Timeline for Training Team Rep Selection

We will follow the process documented in the team handbook.

Step 1: Call for Nominations

Anyone can nominate a Training team rep! Self-nominations are welcome, too. To nominate someone or yourself, please comment on this post. If you would like to nominate someone in private, please reach out to @webtechpooja, @bsanevans, or @piyopiyofox.

Note that this is Pooja’s second year in the role, and is not eligible for reelection next year. Since Benjamin Evans and Destiny Kanno will be staying on to complete their second year and onboard the newest Training Team Representative, only one Team Rep spot will be filled for 2024.

  • Nomination Opens: 23 October 2023
  • Nomination Closes: 14 November 2023

Team reps will confirm each person nominated meets the vetting criteria at our weekly meeting on November 16th. They’ll then reach out to those nominated to confirm if they would like to accept the nomination. Only those who accept their nomination will be added to the poll, so feel free to decline a nomination if you don’t feel like this is the right fit for any reason.

Step 2: Vote for Team Reps

If there is more than 1 nomination, we will organize a poll to select the Team Reps.

Training team members can vote to select new Team Reps. 

  • Voting Opens: 17 November 2023
  • Voting Closes: 6 December 2023

Step 3: Announce Team Reps

New Team reps will be announced on December 8, 2023. 

Time to Nominate!

Are you ready? It’s time to nominate folks to serve as our Test Team Reps for the new term! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments.

Open Discussions

The discussion topic at hand revolves around GitHub issue #1880, which involves adding IDs to headings for anchor links on the website. The dev squad is seeking clarity on whether to use sentence case or all lowercase for internal anchor link fragments. The HTMLHTML HTML is an acronym for Hyper Text Markup Language. It is a markup language that is used in the development of web pages and websites. spec doesn’t specify a requirement, but lowercase is the common practice.

The dilemma is whether to formalize and document this practice across the site. @Jonathan suggests switching to all lowercase, but this would require a thorough review and update of existing lesson plans. The group is open to discussion on this matter.

@Destiny raises whether this issue will still be relevant if the content is consolidated according to the new information architecture for Learn. @Jonathan mentions that it depends on whether the “Tip” section in the Lesson Plan synced pattern is carried over to the new content types. Removing the tip section entirely is a possible solution.

The group agrees that the new architecture may change the current situation, so they consider merging the PR and addressing individual lesson plans on a case-by-case basis.

Asynchronous participants are encouraged to share their thoughts on the GitHub issue. @Jonathan notes that it’s essential to consider the impact of the new architecture.

The conversation ends with @Destiny mentioning a request for members of the dev-squad to review and test a PR for the Sensei Pro upgrade created by @Jonathan, asking for help from contributors with developer experience.

A formal proposal will be presented to the team by September 22nd.

2. @jominney will export the current list of GitHub labels into a spreadsheet, which will be shared with the team for input. Our objective is to gain a clear understanding of the current usage of each label and, ultimately, reduce the number of labels while creating documentation on their appropriate usage.

Open Discussions

@Jonathan brought up these two topics.

An additional agenda item, Sensei Pro, which we have a license key for and use on Learn WordPress, has had a few updates since we last updated it on Learn, so it might be a good time to create a new PR to merge the latest updates.

Additionally, it might be a good idea to somehow set a quarterly reminder to check on the Sensei Pro version and wrangle a Learn WordPress update.

And he said : “I’m ready to submit the PR for merging. I want to talk about two things:

  1. How can we set a quarterly reminder for the team to check on this?
  2. How should we handle this if I’m not available for updates?

I think it might be suitable for @faculty-admin to take ownership of this, but I’m not certain.

I just want to initiate a discussion. We could also consider assigning it to @faculty-dev-squad, but that would broaden the dev-squad’s scope.”

@jominney she mentioned that @piyopiyofox, @adamwood, and she had been discussing Sensei usage as part of the pathways project with @burtrw . She wondered if he could provide additional guidance on this matter and emphasized the importance of keeping it up to date with the latest version, especially given the significant changes they planned to implement that relied on it heavily.

@piyopiyofox also asked: ¨Is there a friction point for auto-updating Sensei?¨ and @Jonathan replied: ¨So far we’ve not had any issues, but no developer I know is going to auto-update a 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 without doing some testing first. Additionally, because it’s the Pro extension, we don’t have the option, as far as I know, of auto-updating it; it needs to be a PR. Unless we build some auto-updating mechanism for the Pro plugin.¨

Looking forward to the orientation when people have some time :grinning:.

Cleared a couple of issues, mainly editorial or broken links as I have time.

Blockers:  time constraints – if you can make the days 28 hrs for a few days, that would probably help.

No help needed, just very busy the rest of this month

Open Discussion

We have had a few open discussion requests come in today, so let’s focus on those for the rest of the meeting,

  • @Jonathan asks regarding course cohorts, how do we indicate that folks have completed the cohort?
    Jonathan wrote: Badges is one idea, the only downside I can think of is that we’d have to create a separate badge for each cohort. One other way I was thinking we could manage this was to add a new “Learn” item under the Activities at the bottom of a users profile
    Laura A wrote: @Jonathan great idea to add completed cohort area. It seems like the simplest way to implement.
  • When can an interested contributor take over developing a piece of content which had originally been assigned to another contributor, but no progress has been made for some time?

Ben pointed to the content localization handbook currently mentions:

  • If a GitHub issue has been stale for 2 weeks, pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” the person assigned to see how they’re going
  • If no response is received after a further 2 weeks, then the issue should be triaged and either closed, reassigned, or opened for others to take on

Open Discussion

@bsanevans shared some useful things about the Training team and its communication channel.

The Training Team has three main channels for discussions:

  1. Team blog: https://make.wordpress.org/training/

The team’s public-facing platform for discussions. All decisions should be discussed and announced through blog posts to allow for broader participation. These posts are also indexed by search engines, creating a public record of the Training Team’s work throughout its history. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend subscribing to the blog. You can find the subscribe field in the right sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme..

2. Slack: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RW657Q

This is where real-time communication and collaboration with other contributors in the team happen. You can seek help from Faculty members and experienced teammates while working on team tasks. However, important decisions should not be made in Slack. If an item requires discussion or decision-making, it should be published as a blog post so that the wider community can be involved in the process.

3. GitHub: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn

This platform is used to track individual tasks, such as content creation, content translation, and website management. GitHub issues are organized into six project boards. You can access these boards at the following link: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/projects?query=is%3Aopen. For more details on how the Training Team uses GitHub, you can refer to our handbook section: “How we use GitHub.
