Meetup Notes – 01/30/2013


Thanks to everyone that was able to attend our first official IRC meetup; it was great to have some new volunteers in the room, and we look forward to your contributions to the group. Here’s a recap of what was discussed:

  • Our basic processes: Refer to the Video Moderator Manual for a quick outline. Note: This doc will grow over time. If you have a suggestion please add it in the comments. 🙂
  • Office Hours: We’ve set a standing IRC chat as “office hours” that will happen every Wednesday from 16:00-19:00 UTC. Office hours not really meant to be organized meetings (though welcomed) but a time when at least one mod can be counted on to be available to the community.
  • Helping WordCamp Organizers: Converting and editing videos can be a pretty difficult process, and not one that is in most organizer’s sweet spot. We talked about examining the process more closely, and the need for an updated version of the current process instructions. Anyone with video experience is encouraged to help!
