We discussed our in-progress tasks including WCUS GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress.

Also of note is ensuring the Marketing Slack Channel is manned during Contributor Days. @bridgetwillard is reaching out to camps individually and keeping track on a Google Sheet. WC Bangkok is this weekend and @bridgetwillard will be on Slack from 6:30pm to 8:30 PST. A volunteer is needed to cover the WC Prague time period. That Google Sheet is here.

Feel free to reach out to me (@gidgey on slack) or @mcdwayne if you have a project for Marketing.
