Application vetting sprint – September 29th


Hi Team! Looks like we have a more than a couple of Meetup and WordCamp applications in our vetting queue, so let’s have a vetting sprint! This time during the weekend, on Sunday, so people who are not available to attend normally on weekdays can also contribute 🙂

There is more Meetup applications, so let’s keep our main focus on those.

What is a vetting sprint?

A vetting sprint for Meetup and WordCamp applications is a 1-hour session where all available deputies meet together in the #community-team channel in the WordPress Slack group. Over the course of the hour, we will all work on vetting applications and use the Slack channel as a central place to discuss what we’re working on and support each other.

Who can take part?

Any deputies who have access to the Meetup Tracker can take part. That means people who have completed the deputy training, signed the agreement and been given access to the tracker (details about the tracker here).

If you are a deputy who has been active in the last year, then you should have access to the tracker. If you don’t have access and still want to take part, please comment here or ping @sippis on #community-team and we’ll give the access.

When is this happening?

Currently, we have one planned sprint that is EU timezone suitable. It would be awesome to have a sprint also for the US timezone, so please tell us in #community-team if you can lead that sprint!

All deputies are welcome to join in vetting sprints and do the vetting by themselves at any time!

How does it work?

As explained above, we will meet in the #community-team channel on Slack at the times listed and dive into vetting meetup applications. Here are some handy links that you will need on the day:
