  1. Welcome and recap of last meeting
  2. Lesson plan updates
    • @wpnzach is working on the menu documentation and will work on the current menu configuration in his plan. He’ll also work on a non-public draft that covers the future customizer menus.
  3. Testing updates
    • @stephs8919 found a venue for her training and will lead a WordPress basics class at the end of the month.
  4. Slides
  5. Contributor Day logistics
    • @ariwinokur is working on a way to automate pings to the #training Slack channel when a contributor day is happening. Right now he is using IFTTT to create an automatic notification to the channel. It is currently pulling the info from a Google Calendar he created off the WordCamp schedule iCal. The group agrees that a curated calendar of that includes just contributor days would be better than the WordCamp calendar and that an automated contributor day calendar would be best.
    • @courtneyengle will check with the Outreach Team to see if they maintain a calendar of contributor days that we could pull data from.
    • A new idea related to contributor day logistics was to have an automated message appear in the #training Slack channel on those days with introductory information.
  6. Process for abandoned lesson plans
    • @bethsoderberg and @abuango have been working together on a new process, which will debut in August. Moving forward, we will ping the channel regarding plans we’ve identified as possibly abandoned during the first meeting of each month and for the two meetings after that. Once those three pings go out, then any plans that haven’t been accounted for or claimed will open up for others to work on.
  7. Upcoming WordCamps
    • At least one representative from team training will be in attendance at the following upcoming WordCamps: Salt Lake City, Boston, Baltimore, New York, and possibly Scranton
    • @stephs8919 and @courtneyengle are coordinating to put together a “How to Contribute to WordPress” talk for WordCamp Baltimore.
  8. Meeting Agendas
    • Team training meeting agendas are posted every Monday in preparation for Tuesday’s meetings. Please add any agenda items you have to the comments.
