We will continue the projects we are currently working on as a priority:

• Introduction of new meeting format
• Onboarding experience for (new) contributors. The goal is to create clear guidelines for a smooth onboarding experience for all the tools —our blog, GitHub and Slack— we have available. Some pending or active issues about this topic:
  • Creating a better overview of WP Sustainability issues
• WordCamp Handbook with sustainability ideas/guidelines. Learn how to contribute to this here and follow up on this project here. Some related topics:
  • Create a draft to collect information about the efforts made by the WCEU’s organizers in favor of environmental sustainability.
• WordPress Sustainability PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party supported by the WP Sustainability Team. Follow up on this project here.
  Share the avances made on Yoast Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/..
  For context, some issues were brought out from the previous meeting:
  • Narrow down the candidate of tools for measuring websites weight or carbon emissions. Check it in GH.
  • Discuss if we want to use any of the existing plugins as starting point or we want to create one from the scratch.
