We discussed upcoming Contributor Days
WCEU 2022 Contributor Day, 2-4 June
If we have team members planning to attend WCEU, let us know if you’d like to help organize the contributor table of the Training Team.
Translating content on LearnWP
We’ve had a lot of interest in translating courses to other languages. @courane01 is in discussion with @evarlese in #polyglots for further insight into the rollout of GlotPress. And also discussed with @dd32 briefly about the interest and how to work smartly as a team, knowing the site functionality changes, how long it will be (quite a while) for GlotPress fully available, etc.
Other decision-making topics:
- Social Learning Spaces (SLS) streaming platforms
- Learn WordPress version taxonomy
- Proposal: Faculty Program Structure
These are open for feedback. Please provide your feedback.

Check-in

- What will you do next week?
@rkohilakis: Got the template parts lesson plan and workshop completed. This is my last week sponsored on the WP project, so just wrapping things up.
- Keep working on 5.9 related content, compare Jan sprint with Trello, assist with creating the Feb sprint, get some extra sleep.
- Reviewing the new courses, write the Retro post, review 2 recaps, work on Trello > Github move, revise the audio on the Navigation workshop vid and reupload to all the corresponding locations, meet with interested contributors, publish team update on /updates
- Time
- Hopefully, Trello > Github will be ready, finish reviewing 2 lesson plans and a course. Comment on all the posts that needed feedback.
- Worked on February Sprint and made sure there is a Trello card for all the content.
- All the above and I reviewed a couple of lesson plans, courses and wrote some tweets for the Yoast contributor day. If there are any Trello cards missing from the Sprint, please let me know.
- Time
- Continue reviewing any content.
- I have a lot of things moving right now!
- Child Themes is in a bulleted outline of a lesson plan; theme.Json overview has materials now on Styles, so that’s coming along; I discovered something fun (sidebars!) and made an accidental workshop.
- Time. Still being pulled in lots of directions.
- Next week, I will finish the workshop and continue building the lesson plans. I will also probably start development on a Query Loop workshop, to accompany that lesson plan.
Worked on meeting recap and worked with @courtney, @hauwa to promote Lesson plans to Meetup organisers.

Yoast contributor day recap

They wrote micro-copy related to each type of content on LearnWP, with links to the exact sources. They tried out the Social Image Generator plugin that Automattic acquired with plans of this coming to Jetpack announced.
