Training Weekly Meeting Update – Mondays 2000 UTC

Thanks to everyone who voted for a new time for the Training Team’s weekly meeting!

Mondays Overwhelmingly Preferred

Of all the available timeslots, four slots on Monday tied for the highest level of commitment from the team. The timeslot at 2000 UTC was upvoted by team representatives in several different geographic locations, making it the best choice moving forward.

We’re excited to get back on track in 2020 with our new time and hope that most are able to make it. With a worldwide contributor community, we understand not everyone is able to participate at that time, but the SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. Channel can continue to be used for asynchronous collaboration going forward.

Request for Input- Training Team Weekly Meeting Time

The current timeslot for the Training Team’s weekly meeting (Thursdays at 1300 UTC, 0800 Eastern, 0500 Pacific) is no longer workable for many members of the team.
