2. News
GitHub automation updates :
Take a look at the Github beta project here, you can swap between Beta and regular projects. We use GitHub projects to track website development, content development, and team administration. We received access to Projects Beta, and we have started to move our Content Development over. We are next working on actions and automation.
What we want to have is that if someone submits a lesson plan or workshop, then the next group of people that are to review that would be pinged, with a checklist of what to look for.
We will be relaunching who is interested/willing to contribute to various team roles soon, including those that want to copy edit and organise within GitHub teams to use notifications there for this activity.
Team roles & Faculty Roles
Before moving to GitHub, we had these organized in Trello. We’re working to move these to GitHub, which will later help us organize those call-ins on the contribution
Faculty Program Members
This is an unpublished page, but ready for the team to see on a public preview link. Thanks to @Destiny for the revision so far. We’re still having some conversations about linking to the GitHub issues for the list, so stay tuned for more info.
Update about Individual Learner Survey
Specifically, the form is not GDPR compliant and everyone is concerned about, who owns the account where the data is stored?
@Destiny has looked into some options for surveys and in the past, we seem to have used Crowdsignal (although that is Automattic owned). The plugin is currently disabled on Learn.
#marketing has also suggested SurveyMonkey and SmartSurvey but there is no official tool used by the team. @Angela Jin is checking to see what we use for WordCamps (it may be Crowdsignal).
Needs Analysis working group
We are still working to build the thorough Needs Analysis per how organizations would anticipate this type of a survey, and the value it would be for them.

Congratulations folks for training team badges. We greatly appreciate your contribution.
Naming suggestions
We are in sync with #polyglots and #marketing for naming suggestions for lesson plans, workshops, and SLS (Social learning spaces). It needs brainstorming. We are thinking to start a poll and we will soon work on it.
