Meeting Agenda May 2, 2024

[lada7042]

Training Team meetings start at 00:00 UTC weekly on Thursdays. Anyone is welcome to contribute to the meeting by commenting in Slack threads during the meeting and throughout the following days. Meeting notes will be published by the following Tuesday to also incorporate these asynchronous conversations.

This week’s meeting will be hosted by @lada7042 .

1. News

1. Meeting Note Takers

• May 2 – @Jagir Bahesh
• May 9 – @Tapan
• May 16 - @Arun Sharma
• May 23 - @Zeel Thakkar

2. Looking for feedback

• Ben received notice from the Sensei LMS plugin team that they will no longer be able to provide the following two features that were discussed at WordCamp US in summer 2023. For context, these were features #training had requested as part of our content type consolidation efforts around the site relaunch happening this year.

1. Adding an instructor notes section to lessons
2. Adding lessons to multiple courses

Based on this information, I'd like to discuss next steps with the team.

-- Regarding feature 1, I think we’ll will want to work with #meta to still create this feature as part of the site redesign. But this should probably be done with as minimal custom development as possible to reduce future maintenance overhead.
-- Feature 2 is something I propose we reassess and consider alternatives for. Technically, I think Learning Pathways could still be launched without this.

• The lesson page is getting a makeover too. Learn Design (post by Joen)

• I am updating the wording in the Training team contributor badge reviewing section to make it more clear and add a link to the review template. I noticed under copyediting/reviewing there is wording "You should successfully move pieces of content from the “Review in Progress” stage to the “Published or closed” stage in Github."
  --Do we want the reviewers to publish or close an issue?
  --Is it the author's responsibility to publish or close an issue?
  -- Thoughts? Should the wording be removed?

3. Looking for volunteers

• Guides program
  We currently have a couple of folks still waiting to be matched with a guide, but no guides are available. What are some ways we could attract more guides, ideally in a variety of time zones? A general call for new guides already went out a few weeks ago in the #training channel, but no one stepped forward, so other ideas are very welcome.
• Reviewers needed to review lesson videos. See Come & Contribute section

4. Updates from last week's dev-squad triage session

• item 1
• item 2

5. Other news

• Our 2nd cohort course will be starting May 9- June 20. The team reached out to people on the waitlist from the last cohort. Ben and Kathryn are admin and Jonathan will be speaking. Read about. Learn WordPress Course Cohort
