WCEU 2022 Contributor Day, 2-4 June

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:

These are open for feedback. Please provide your feedback.

@courane01:

  1.  Keep working on 5.9 related content, compare Jan sprint with Trello, assist with creating the Feb sprint, get some extra sleep.
  2. 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
  3. Time
  4. Hopefully, Trello > Github will be ready, finish reviewing 2 lesson plans and a course. Comment on all the posts that needed feedback.

@azhiyadev:

  1. Worked on February Sprint and made sure there is a Trello card for all the content.
  2. 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.
  3. Time
  4. Continue reviewing any content.

@arasae:

  • 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.

@kemmy99:

Worked on meeting recap and worked with @courtney, @hauwa to promote Lesson plans to Meetup organisers.

Yoast contributor day recap

They tried out the Social Image Generator plugin that Automattic acquired with plans of this coming to Jetpack announced.
