- Welcome and recap of last meeting
- Lesson plan updates
- @melindahelt asked to have her slides reviewed. @courtneyengle reviewed them and thought the content was good and that the design will later need to be aligned to the template when we sort out how slides will work.
- @bethsoderberg made some small updates to the tracking spreadsheet and @courtneydawn will redo the key sometime this week.
- The user lesson for the theme customizer is available for whomever wants to work on it.
- Testing updates
- @stephs8919 is testing the WordPress Basics lesson tonight.
- At the end of the meeting we talked about the possibility of soliciting student feedback when testing lesson plans. Though we generally agreed that student feedback would be useful, we also identified a number of challenges to getting such feedback (added complexity reducing overall feedback submission rates, challenges of automating something, possibility that it might be easier to get feedback from students than presenters)
- Slides
- We decided to table the slides conversation and have a separate meeting to discuss slides this Friday, July 31, at 17:00 UTC.
- Review initial Contributor Day process
- @courtneyengle spoke with #outreach and there was a sense from that team that connecting participants to Slack and the larger “getting started” materials is happening at these contributor days already and that there is nothing extra that we should be doing to make sure that part happens.
- We should use our Getting Started page to include anything we need for onboarding contributor day contributors.
- We briefly reconsidered our initial brainstorm and decided that the general ideas behind it still apply, particularly the timed messages on Slack for contributor days.
