Contributor day started on 17 February 2023, 9 AM at ICONSIAM, Bangkok, Thailand. The day started with our Table Leads Benjamin Evans (@bsanevans) and Chetan Prajapati (@chetan200891) introducing the Training Team to attendees. Around 20 people joined the Training table that day, with more than a dozen new contributors joining the team for the first time. Here’s what we achieved:
- New members completed the team’s onboarding program, and then went on to continue contributing to Learn WordPress in their interest areas.
- Destiny Kanno (@piyopiyofox) hosted a Training Team Contributor Day Online Session and 5 people attended.
- New content translations were started for Japanese, Arabic, and Khmer.
- New reviewers for Tamil content translation were recruited.
- 2 training page handbook pages were updated.
- The Individual Learner Survey was promoted both individually and with Marketing.
- The team hosted its second brainstorming session for Training Team 2023 Goals Setting. Notes from this session include:
- Create a dev road map for the Learn site.
- Get involved with the redesign work happening on Learn.
- Figure out a method to manage localized content translation.
- Nurturing the Locale Ambassadors program (making sure people who show up have people they can connect with).
- Create a Learn newsletter for learners.
