Re meeting today: Andrea and I will be on our way to WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They’re one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Phoenix during our normal meeting time. I posted my update yesterday here on the blog, so if anyone has any questions/suggestions/etc, go ahead and comment on the update if there’s anything we should talk about before next week.
Also, I want to set up a regular meeting time for meetupMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our Meetup Organizer Handbook. organizers. (and one for WC orgs, or one for all event orgs, whatever). Two options:
1. Set up a specific separate time, add another meeting to the roster.
2. Rotate the focus of our team chats. For example,split up a month’s meetings so that it’s one week focus on meetup orgs, one week focus on community tools, one week focus on mentorship/outreach programs, one week focus on contributor recognition/engagement. Or something like that.
Thinking the 2nd approach might be better, as it would give our chats more focus, people would know if they wanted to turn up or not in advance, timing wise for organizers it’d be once a month (on par with most meetupsMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our Meetup Organizer Handbook.), and it would give us a little extra nudge to get things moving in each area so that we’d have a little pressure to have something to report by the appropriate meeting. Thoughts?
Related: I’m working on a big list of team projects (either in progress, abandoned due to volunteer availability, or new) and a plan for the coming year. Would like to discuss at next week’s chat (will post beforehand) and get some folks tied to projects and set some deadlines that people commit to meeting.
