New Folks!

We’ve had a flurry of new people wanting to join our team – hooray! We gave a quick overview of what our team is about for everyone new to our weekly meetings.

The training team creates downloadable lesson plans and related materials for instructors to use in a live workshop environment.

WCSF Recap

So many things happened at the WCSF contrib team meetup days, we tried to do a quick recap in 100 words or less. @coachbirgit‘s 1 word recap was “supercalifragelisticexpialigetic”

  • Sunday: Contributor day – we met lots of new people and started a 101 track (now called user track). We had a bunch of new folks start lesson plan
  • Monday: Community summit day – Not much related to training, but @liljimmi got some good on-boarding ideas for our team
  • Tuesday & Wednesday: Team working days – We met with Jen Mylo, revamped the style guide, people worked on lesson plans, had our weekly meeting IRL and on Google Hangout, brainstormed the Theme track, talked to a bunch of WordCamp organizers about testing lesson plans, created a project status spread sheet (@gdavis0007 is working on adding proposed lesson plans to this) and moved all static lesson plan pages to the handbook plugin

WCSF To-Dos

There are some lingering items brought up at WCSF that are not started or in progress

  • Adding descriptions to the list of proposed lessons – @liljimmi is going to start this and @juliekuehl will jump in
  • Meta data – Taxonomies for Lesson Plans
  • An email account or SupportFlow to answer contact form submissions – @liljimmi submitted a ticket to make this happen Jen Mylo is also helping us on this
  • Props – Getting a training badge on profiles for contributors

Status of Lesson Plans in Progress

Since there were so many things to cover during the meeting we let everyone know that Lesson Plans in progress usually takes up most of the meeting. We answered any questions people had.
