WordCamp and Meetup application vetting sprint – DocsWP

We currently have a small backlog of WordCamp and Meetup applications that did form during holidays. We would like to request the help of all deputies to help us stay responsive to community members, and to help keep our queues moving forward. To that end, we’ll be holding few vetting sprints.

Each sprint will last for two hours, and we will collectively vet as many WordCamp and Meetup applications in that time as possible. If you are a deputy and would like to coordinate a sprint at another time, then please comment on this post and I’ll add it to the list.

All deputies are welcome and encouraged to join! Please comment on this post if you think you can take part.

What is a Vetting Sprint?

A vetting sprint for WordCamp or Meetup applications is a scheduled session where all available deputies meet together in the #community-team channel in the WordPress Slack
group. Over the course of the sprint, we will all work on vetting
applications and use the Slack channel as a central place to discuss
what we’re working on and support each other.

Who can take part?

Any deputies who have access to the WordCamp central listings and/or the Meetup central listings
can take part. That means people who have completed the deputy
training, signed the deputy agreement and been given access to the
dashboard.

If you are a deputy who has been active in the last year, then you
should have access to this. If you don’t have access and still want to
take part, please comment here or ask in #community-team and we’ll sort out your access.

How Does it Work?

We will be going through the open WordCamp and Meetup applications that still need vetting – you can find WordCamp listings here and Meetup listings here. We also have some handy notes to help you with the vetting process.

As always, deputies can work on these things at any time that suits
them, but these dedicated sprints help to provide some direct, focused
time for it.
