Faculty Updates
@lada7042 asked the faculty members, what they were working on and how was that going? If they accomplished anything since the last meeting? What goal do they set for themself? If they have any blockers and if any other faculty or training team member help them in some way?
@devmuhib replied he was taking care of 15+ Help Scout tickets, triaging GitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ issues, and gonna host dev-squad-triage today. Also, he set a goal to work on Help Scout tickets regularly.
@lada7042 replied she was working on global styles and style book lessons for learning pathways. Since last meeting she finished the global styles lesson and its on wp.tv. She is feeling blocked as she has not enough time and still learning.
@cnormandigital replied she has finished the Style Variations video and needs to share it with the team, worked on the Templates lesson, and started adding the Beginner Theme Dev module to sensei. She is adding Sensei lessons to the Learning Pathway courses is something she had to figure out and she tries to follow the same tone and voice Jonathan is using so they have cohesiveness with all of the lessons. Also, she wants to have all of the Beginner Theme Dev lessons on Sensei by the end of April. All of the Intermediate Theme Dev lessons for Templates will be completed as well.
Open Discussions
If you have topics you’d like discussed in the meeting, please leave them as a comment on this issue.
@flexseth wants to be able to link to timestamps in wp.tv videos as like as when we are on YouTube and share a video from a specific timestamp.
@bsanevans inform that it already possible. If we pause the video at the time and click on the arrow at the top right there’ll be an option to add a timestamp to the shareable link.
