Learn site update

@chetan200891 is waiting on some stuff from the Meta team.

@man4toman created his first PR for review and an issue for the footer file that needs reviewing

@jessecowens has a working version of the markdown importer but is working on getting it recognize the JSON format, perhaps some folks at WCEU can help with that – potentially the WP-CLI team.

@aurooba put together a README file for the Learn site beta repo to help if anyone else wants to jump in and contribute. She also has a PR almost ready for the workshop template, which should be ready for submission by Sunday.

As we’ve started to build out the Learn site, @juliekuehl identified some issues that have come up in the design – things that should be checkboxes are radio buttons, etc. We have to try and figure out how to make things happen in the Make environment without the use of additional plugins.

WCEU Contributor Day

@jessecowens will be the acting lead at WCEU for the Training team, the rest of the team can join remotely.

Contributor Day is on Thursday 20 June from 8:30-17:00 German time (UTC +2) which is Central European Summer Time

Four lesson plans have been set aside for those contributors to focus on for the workshop Best Practices for WordPress Friendly Layout. Issues have been created for all of them, so they should be ready for people to address them. We’re hoping to get the workshop to an instructional review status by the end of WCEU.

@iwritten will do some research and printout Blooms.

@juliekuehl created a ZenHub workspace (you’ll need to log in with your GitHub account to see the workspace) set up specifically for Contributor Day with all the issues that can be addressed during that day.

@juliekuehl is working on drafting a blog post up on P2 to help folks prepare to contribute to our team, and @jessecowens will review it.

There will be an assigned table (or a whole room) at WCEU Contributor Day for the Training team

Upcoming team meetings

As a reminder, due to WCEU there will be no regular weekly team meeting next week.

The following week @juliekuehl will be on vacation and @jessecowens will lead the meeting with a WCEU recap and update on everything

Open announcements/discussion

@juliekuehl noted that while we’ve been focused on WCEU, other things have been moving forward too. Instructional reviews. Updates to the style guide. Lesson plan pull requests.
