Meeting Note Takers

Meeting recap notes are one of the best ways to get started contributing to a team, and you can find details on how to write notes in this handbook page.

Looking for feedback

Please leave your thoughts on the post by March 9th (this Saturday)

@ironnysh and @ardianimaya have volunteered to continue writing Contributor Spotlight posts on the Training Team blog. And we’d like the team to nominate the next people to interview.

@devmuhib has nominates @digitalchild for his excellent afford to #training and #meta-learn and @bsanevans has nominated @psykro and @west7 who have been actively creating learning pathway content recently.

We’re also looking for nominations of active Training Team contributors to interview next. Either leave your nominations in the Slack thread here, in the spreadsheet in the document, or ping
@ironnysh or @ardianimaya.

Looking for volunteers

We’re looking for volunteers to outline a new Learning Pathway for contributors to the WordPress project.

So far, the team has curriculum outlined for User, Developer, and Designer learning pathways. We’d also like to create a pathway for Contributors. This will involve outlining a curriculum like Learning Pathway: Intermediate User #2002, identifying what resources already exist on Learn and what new resources need to be created.

Come leave your thoughts in Testing translation plugins for Learn WordPress #2231.

We also invite @faculty-translation-coordinators to leave their feedback about the requirements that have already been submitted.

Updates from last week’s dev-squad triage session

Attendees: @psykro, @digitalchild, @freewebmentor, @devmuhib

PRs/issues triaged:

We’re looking for any interested team members who can help test translation plugins on the Learn.WordPress.org local development environment. If you’re interested, please comment on the GitHub issue.

Important The team also decided to switch to holding 2 triage sessions a month going forward, on the 2nd and 4th week of the month. We have been very successful in keeping untriaged issues and PRs to a minimum, so this change will allow more time between triage sessions.

The team’s meeting calendar has been updated to reflect these changes.
