- Welcome and recap of last meeting
- @bethsoderberg will add venue information and clarification that you don’t need to test at a formal meetup to the Testing Guide.
- No updates on lesson plans in progress or on testing
- Slides
- @courtneyengle put together a draft version of a slide template from the PSDs we have using Google Slides.
- There are some concerns about the slides as they are now, including the following issues:
- Eventually we will want these in both 4:3 and 16:9, depending upon the projectors available. Will it be unsustainable to maintain two versions of the slides for each lesson plan?
- Folks who aren’t familiar with the templates may have trouble with the formatting for a correct answer and for quotes.

- If we use Google Slides in the future, we’ll need to set up a process for folks to use the templates maintained by team training and transfer ownership of the sliders to the team after creation.
- @bethsoderberg and @ariwinokur will check the PSDs against the Google Slide templates this week.
- WordCamp Contributor Day brainstorm
- We brainstormed some ideas about how the training team can interact with folks at contributor days both when a team representative can be present and when we can not.
- In general, we had a bunch of ideas about creating lists of things people at contributor days can do to help out. These ideas included the following:
- Translating plans
- Making plans to test plans
- Checking to confirm that plans are still up to date after new WP releases
- An ongoing list of little tasks
- We all agreed that it would be awesome if a representative could always be there, but since that’s not possible we talked about having a representative video chat with contributors and/or be available via Slack to help with questions, setting people up, etc.
- Not every Contributor Day is attached to a WordCamp and not every WordCamp has a Contributor Day.
- @ariwinokur will look into automating Slack notifications from a feed of upcoming events and @juliekuehl will work on an initial list of upcoming contributor days if automation isn’t possible.
