# A couple of days late due to travel…

A couple of days late due to travel to 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](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/).
Norway, sorry!

Past Week:

 * First training for women will be weekend of March 1st in DC, will confirm venue
   this week.Second training will be end of March in SF.
 * Gathered a Support/Dev brain trust of WordPress women (Christine Rondeau, Mika
   Epstein, Andrea Rennick, Amy Hendrix, Kailey Lampert) to work on training curriculum
   in [proposed format](https://make.wordpress.org/community/2013/01/23/level-up-training-for-diversitygrowth/).
 * Set the first team reps chat for Jan 31st at 20:00 UTC.
 * Massive time suck due to community upheaval over GPLGPL GPL is an acronym for
   GNU Public License. It is the standard license WordPress uses for Open Source
   licensing [https://wordpress.org/about/license/](https://wordpress.org/about/license/).
   The GPL is a ‘copyleft’ license [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html).
   This means that derivative work can only be distributed under the same license
   terms. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which 
   the BSD license and the MIT License are widely used examples./WordCamps issue.
   Need to address this with all team reps.
 * Jen at WC Norway.
 * Worked on improvements to make.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site 
   where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can
   download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the
   central location for community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/)
   landing page with Isaac.
 * Set 1st contributor drive for Support team (20 Questions) for weekend of February
   15th.
 * Began Aaron Jorbin’s orientation for spearheading the meetups program.

Not Done Yet, Oops:

 * Create volunteer schedule for staffing #wordpress-contribute.
 * Add profile fields to capture diversity data.
 * Make calendar of events we’ll time community projects around: WordPress’s 10th
   birthday, SXSW, GSoC, Software Freedom Day, etc.

Coming Week:

 * Hit the Not Done Yet list.
 * Nail down workshop venues, put up registration site.
 * 1st team reps chat!
