A long, long time ago we started a discussion, here on the blog, about how we could support Community team mentors. This is completely OT and somehow related to this announcement 🙂
If you read the comments you will see that one of the issues that I raised is that we have a lot more WordCamp Mentors but still a lot of WordCamps don’t have one: this is why I am starting a new monthly chat for all WordCamp Organisers and I hope this will also help Mentors come together and exchange information.
Who is this for
WordCamp organisers, old and new, potential organisers, mentors.
Proposal for a general agenda
- 1 hour meeting
- 30 minutes – updates from the WordCamp Community Support: posts from the blog that you might have missed, new tools, deep dive into a specific handbook section
- 30 minutes – open floor, bring up anything you need help with
Kick off meeting – October 25th 2018, 13:00 UTC
Since we need to start somewhere, I am taking the initiative to schedule the first meeting at a time that is a bit in between: Thursday, October 25, 13:00 UTC.
For the following chat we can decide together when it’s the best time to meet. If other mentors want to host the chats we might even do it twice a month 🙂
We will meet in the #community-events channel in Slack
Agenda for October 25th 2018
- Introductions: mission, plans
- WordCamp Organising news: posts from the blog that WordCamp organisers and mentors should be familiar with
- One handbook section at a time: venue and date
