Learn WordPress is Live

I’m excited to announce that the all-new Learn WordPress platform is now available!

This post contains full details and a roadmap for this project, so head over there for some background and additional useful information. Going forward, Learn WordPress is going to be focussed on three main areas of content and interaction:

Workshops

At the time of this launch, there are four workshops available with more planned to be added each week. These initial four workshops are:

  • Intro to GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ BlockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. Development
  • Introduction to Contributing to WordPress
  • Introduction to Open-Source
  • Intro to Publishing with the Block Editor

These workshops appeal to a wide range of WordPress users and builders – from publishers to developers and contributors – even people unfamiliar with open-source and WordPress. They also cover a wide range of topics; anything related to how people interact with WordPress is welcome! The number of available workshops will grow over time, and we will see more and more content focussed on helping people learn how to use and contribute to WordPress.

If you would like to submit a workshop to the site, please feel in this form – your submission will be reviewed, and you will be contacted within a few days to confirm if you should go ahead with recording it. Workshops can be submitted in any language as we would love to see this site be as multilingual as possible. Here’s a sheet with some ideas for workshops that would be valuable – you’re welcome to submit any of these as your workshop and even add to the sheet if there’s content that you would like to see on the site.

You can fill in this form if you would like to assist with reviewing submitted workshop applications.

Lesson Plans

Over the last few years, the Training team has been working tirelessly on creating lesson plans that people can use to run their own workshops. All 85 of these lesson plans are available on the site – they are an excellent resource for anyone wanting to teach people about WordPress. You could even use these lesson plans for workshops that you submit!

The Training team would love additional contributions to identify outdated lesson plans, revise and update those plans, connect multiple lesson plans into a workshop, and to create slides. You can get started here.

Discussion Groups

While recorded workshops are great for learning and personal development, one key aspect that they lack is the personal interaction that you would usually have at an in-person event. With that in mind, we will also be hosting optional discussion groups based on the content of the workshops – led by the workshop presenters themselves, as well as other community members.

The first of these discussion groups have been scheduled – you will find them on the dedicated meetup group – and more will be added as new workshops are published. Each workshop page will link to the meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. group.

Anyone interested in leading a discussion group on any of the workshops on the site is welcome to do so. For more information about what is expected of discussion group leaders, check out this Tuesday Trainings post about leading discussion groups. If you’re interested and ready to become a discussion group leader, you can apply to do so here. 

Additionally, meetup organisers can use the Learn WordPress content for their meetup events – simply ask your meetup group to watch one of the workshops in the weeks leading up to your scheduled event, and then host a discussion group for that content as your event. If you do this, then you do not have to apply to be a discussion group leader using the form above – you can just go ahead and do it as an existing organiser.

Get Involved

Workshops

You can apply to present a workshop or to assist with reviewing submitted workshops. You can also add ideas for workshops that you would like to see on the site.

Lesson Plans

You can help out with updating and contributing new lesson plans by following this guide.  Lesson plans are developed on GitHub and published on Learn WordPress.

Discussion Groups

Meetup organisers can organise discussion groups as part of their existing meetup group, or you can apply to be a discussion group leader.

Development

Development of Learn WordPress is being managed on GitHub – you can head over these to log issues and contribute code.

Meetup Group Inventory Work

Every year, we like to review our groups and tools to make sure we’re remaining up to date and relevant. While going through that process with the WordPress chapter meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. accounts this year we had some interesting findings I thought would be good to share with all of you.

The Purpose

@harishanker and @harmonyromo have been hard at work for the past several weeks, reviewing all of the groups in the WordPress  Chapter Meetup Program and reaching out to those who haven’t held an event since the end of 2019 (many earlier than this). The goal was to either prompt more activity in the communities that have been inactive, or remove any groups who do not currently have an interest in holding meetup events.

One of the primary motivators here is the fact that, due to COVID-19, the global sponsorship program has been pulled back so there are less funds available than in previous years.

The Savings

When we started this project, we had a total of 854 official chapter meetup groups at $73.50 per group per quarter (which includes a discount of $31.50 per group). After our process of reviewing and reaching out to inactive groups, the total number of groups who reached out for guidance on some level was 111 and the total number of groups removed was 150. Our total number of groups as of August 27, 2020, is 753, considering that many new groups have also been added during this process. The reduction in total number of meetup groups will lead to savings of $11,025 per quarter or $44,100 per year. 

The Process

For the process of contacting inactive groups, we began by sending messages to organizers of these groups to ask if any events are being planned, or if the group needs guidance on how to conduct events in the online space. If there were no organizers listed, a message was sent to the entire group to ask if anyone had an interest in stepping into the organizer role, in addition to the other questions about activity. Links to our Meetup resources were also provided in the messages.

After sending the initial email to organizers, we allowed 2 weeks for responses. If there was no response, an email was then sent to all members of the group who subscribe to messages from the organizer, and if the message board was active, a message was posted there as well. Another 2 week period was allowed for responses from members.

After the 4 week period, we completed a final check of those groups who did not send a response, to verify there had not been activity in their meetup group that wasn’t communicated to us. Once it was confirmed there had been no recent Meetup events and none were scheduled, the meetup group was added to a list for removal. If there was a response from the group, no matter what it was, they were not removed.

The Wrap Up

Overall, this has been a valuable project, not just from a financial savings standpoint as noted above, but also due to the invaluable contact with many of the groups who felt lost in the current landscape and needed guidance on how to become more active with online formats. 

If a meetup group was removed from the chapter, and members feel this was in error, or there is a desire to reactivate the group, please reach out to the Community Team. There are a myriad of resources that can help with ideas for events, and if you have the desire to step into the organizer shoes, we can also offer guidance on that process as well.

If you have any questions or thoughts on how we can streamline processes like this in the future, or additional comments on how we reviewed the groups this time please share them in the comments!

Tuesday Trainings: taking a pause

Over the past couple of months I’ve greatly enjoyed curating the Tuesday Trainings posts we’ve featured here each week. At the beginning of the series we had a flood of contribution, but as time progressed and the WordPress community events situation evolved to deal with the global pandemic we’ve had a lot less training content to share. At this time we are not publishing additional content about organizing in-person events, because we’re learning a whole new way of doing things and documenting it as we go along.

Rather than produce content for the sake of filling space, we’re putting a 6-week pause on Tuesday Trainings posts and will take that time to build up content to be released consistently on Tuesdays, starting in mid October. My hope is that it will also give our community contributors a chance to share trainings based on how things are happening with the WordPress community and the WordPress Community team now that we have more of a handle on synchronous and non-synchronous online content and engagement.

If you have some ideas of content to share with the team please, share it in the comments or send an email with “Tuesday Trainings” in the subject line to support@wordcamp.org.

Learn WordPress Working Group: Call for Volunteers

Learn WordPress is live and work is gathering towards getting it ready for a full launch. In order to make this the best it can be, it would serve us well to have a few volunteers coming together in a working group to focus on making the platform the best it can be.

So far we have had various people working on the design and development of the site, contributing lesson plans and workshops, facilitating discussion groups, managing the workshop review process, and generally being involved in planning and oversight. With things feeling more solid and Learn off to a good start, this is a good time to formalise the group of people working on this project.

Having a working group like this allows for a dedicated group of people who will continue to work on ensuring the success of the project, and ensures greater transparency around who is involved and what is happening – making it easy to get in touch with the right people if you have any questions.

The responsibilities of the Learn WordPress working group would be:

  • Overseeing the development of the site, ensuring that the needed features are built in a timely manner.
  • Managing the workshop submission and review process.
  • Managing the discussion groups and working to keep them active and relevant.
  • Ensuring that the lesson plans remain up to date, and new ones are added as the need arises.
  • Seeking out contributors for all areas of the site – lesson plans, workshops, and discussion groups.
  • Planning and implementing enhancements to improve the experience and effectiveness of the platform.
  • Attending regular meetings in 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/. to update on progress and engage in real-time discussions around the work being done.

Some specific areas of responsibility that will need someone to take a leadership role are:

  • Managing the discussion group setup
  • Managing the maintenance of the lesson plans

Does this sound like something you would like to be involved in? Please comment below, or send me (@hlashbrooke) a direct message on Slack to volunteer. You can also say what area of the project you would like to focus on the most so that we can build a nicely rounded out team.

This call for volunteers will remain open until 9am UTC on Monday, 31 August 2020.

WordCamps in 2019

In 2019, over 36,000 WordPress enthusiasts came together at 142 different WordCamps to spend a day or three talking about WordPress, the free and open-source software that now powers 35% of the web!

WordCamps were held in 49 different countries in 2019, with events in 6 continents: Africa, Asia, Australia/Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America.

As you can see in the chart below, the number of WordCamps stayed at the same level that was reached in 2018 but number of people involved have steadily increased!

Notes on this report:

  • Data was gathered using reporting tools. Numbers before 2018 may vary slightly from past years (which were gathered manually).
  • We are reporting on “total sessions”, rather than “unique sessions”. This is because determining unique sessions is subjective and therefore difficult to track.

  • WordCamp US tickets sold: 1 750
  • WordCamp Nordic tickets sold: 606

Trends and Analysis

An average number of attendees per WordCamp = about 327. This is a continued increase from the past few years, most likely due to the increase in tickets sold for flagship events.

Achieving greater clarity when promoting Learn workshop discussion groups

Since the soft launch of the new Learn WordPress video series a handful of discussion groups have been hosted. After participating in two myself and getting information from a couple of other discussion group hosts, I’ve found that the groups all seem to have one important issue in common: very few of the attendees are watching the videos prior to joining in the discussion. In both of the discussion group calls I participated in, large parts of the workshop had to be given in the discussion group in order to even begin a discussion about the content. 

As the workshop presenters have been present in the groups I’ve received information from, it was still possible to continue with the workshop and discussion, but this is not the intended goal of the discussion groups. Once the program has fully launched the intention behind the discussion groups is to have a discussion lead able to manage the group for any number of workshops in their own timezone and native language. 

Items I’ve noted from my own experience

  • The attrition rate is much higher than we would expect for an in person event. 127 individuals signed up for the discussion I hosted – 13 showed up.
  • People, largely, are not watching the video before attending the discussion. Of the 13 people who attended 2 had watched the video, 4 (including those who watched the video) understood what the discussion was about. Other discussion group leaders are having similar experiences.
  • There seems to be a big need for workshops aimed at content creators and WordPress setup for beginners.

I wonder if part of the problem is the tool we are using to promote the workshops. Meetup.com seems to be something folx just RSVP to and hop on calls without much context. Perhaps this will be less problematic when we have a solution integrated into the Learn WordPress site?

Feedback

Whether you have hosted a discussion group or not, your feedback on the following items will be valuable:

  1. If you have hosted a group please be sure to fill out this discussion group lead survey.
  2. If you have attended a discussion group, what was the experience like for you? Do you feel the messaging around the intention of the group could have been clearer?
  3. What do you think we can do to better highlight the purpose of the groups in order for people to make sure they watch the workshops first?

Collecting and Reporting Stats for Learn WordPress Discussion Groups

In the Americas friendly Community Team meeting today, a suggestion was made by @andreamiddleton:

it would be cool to see this level of reporting for workshops/discussion groups on Learn

This was inspired by the “transparency and clarity” of @jillbinder‘s reports on the Diversity Speakers Workshops.

Based on the conversation that continued, it seems the following are statistics that could be collected and reported upon:
* registrations: the number of people that sign-up to attend a discussion group
* attendees: the number of people that show-up to a discussion group

Some suggestions on other metrics to collect:
* date and time of a discussion group
* which workshop is being discussed

Are there additional metrics that we should collect?
Where should these metrics be reported?

Changes in WordCamp and Meetup Application tracker

WordCamp.org has a tool for Community Deputies to track WordCamps and Meetups. Few changes to this tool have been made lately based on this request for feedback. I thought to share what has changed before those changes cause confusion. The technical side can be found from Github.

Field for swag notes has been removed from Meetups

This field wasn’t that great to follow on when and what swag has been sent to Meetups, so it got removed. All existing swag notes were migrated to log section and all new swag notes should be added as a private note. This way we know who and when did something related to swag.

“Already a meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area.” field has been removed

Same information is already visible on original application and this field wasn’t really updated after the application was received.

“Original application” section improved

Previously original application showed just a dump of data in raw format. The new improved section shows the data in a clean table like layout, so it’s easier to read.

Private note field got bigger

While doing application vetting or leaving a longer private note, it was frustrating to write it down to a little text field. That’s why the field for writing down the vetting or other notes got bigger. At the same time, the field was moved almost to the top of the editing screen so deputies can leave their notes faster when needed.

Thanks to @casiepa, @iandunn, @ryelle and @_dorsvenabili for providing the feedback on these changes!

WordCamp.org improvements and changes made during Q1 and Q2 2020

This is the start of regular series that highlight updates and changes made in WordCamp.org during last quarter by the #meta-wordcamp team and community contributors. The plan is to publish a similar post at the end of each quarter.
