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](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/). Outreach – One of the biggest problems we have with docs is not that they are out of date, but that WC organizers almost never see them. * How do we let camps know about this awesome resource? * [@johnparkinson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/johnparkinson/) has volunteered to take point in wrangling WordCamp outreach. Posting soon to get some ideas about what we can try. Yay John! Want to read the scroll?

Here is what we discussed this week. * State of queues – We had quite a few from the last batch of submissions that have problems of one kind or another. Also everyone gave much deserved praise to [@sgelob](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sgelob/) (not present) for his work in the Pending queue last week * New “Pending Delete” queue in WPTV – Any unpublishable videos can be put in that queue, along with a tag for the issue (LOGO, NO AUDIO, etc.) I will prepare a monthly transparency report to post to our P2P2 “P2” is the name of the theme the blogs of make.wordpress.org use. When asked to post or view something “on the p2” by a member of the WPTV team, that usually means you’re asked to check [https://make.wordpress.org/tv](https://make.wordpress.org/tv)., listing the deletes as well as the reason for them. * Upcoming camps – There are no US camps on the schedule for August. [@roseapplemedia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/roseapplemedia/) will have the camera kits in his possession all month, so a great chance to work on revamping camera docs. * Amazon Elastic Transcode – Still looking at options for automating transcoding, as well as looking at output quality. * Announcing new videos – We had a brief after-meeting discussion about how the Twitter account is doing, as well as some ideas on how we can automate notifying camps/speakers about new videos we publish. Starts [here](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/wptv/p1438884652000962). All in all a great meeting. Full transcript [here](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/wptv/p1438880504000771).

The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/) channel to discuss the happenings of the week: * Recovered WordPressTV Twitter account (Props Michael Pick) and hooked it up to our site. All videos published now will also be shared automatically with our Twitter account. 🙂 * First new tweet: https://twitter.com/WordPressTV/status/624250439429521408 * Trac ticket to add Twitter player cards, may not work with the Flash player in VideoPress 1.0 – https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/976 * Upcoming post on adding hashtags to custom tweets before publishing. * Early feedback from our first trials of Amazon Elastic Transcoder. Was able to transcode a 2GB RAW video file into a tidy ~600MB mp4. Hoping to roll out faster/ easier downloads to reduce the barrier to contributions to post-processing.
