It’s time to select team representatives for 2022 across the WordPress project, including the Polyglots team!
What is a team rep?
Within the WordPress project, each contributor team has a minimum of two team representatives. Often abbreviated to “team reps,” these people represent the team across the project, share key updates across all contributor teams, and generally help to support the team as a whole. You can read more about the team rep definition and expectations on the Team Reps page.
Currently, the Polyglots team has five representatives: @petya @ocean90 @nao @casiepa @tobifjellner
Expectations for team reps can vary from team to team. In general, Polyglots team reps help to:
- prepare for and run Polyglots weekly team chats
- providing quarterly Polyglots updates to other contributor groups
- generally representing Polyglots across the project, or in the occasional chat
- maintain a high-level perspective and awareness on current Polyglots projects
Team reps should expect to dedicate 1 to 2 hours per week to these activities. Any active Polyglots contributor can be a team rep, and we can have more than two team reps. Likewise, an existing team rep can continue in the position, as well, though having new people in these roles is encouraged!
Opening nominations
Any active Polyglot can be a team rep, and anyone can nominate a team rep. Self-nominations are also accepted. Everyone is welcome to give some thought as to who is a good fit for this role and nominate them in the comments of this post.
Duplicate nominations are also welcome – so if someone has already shared your suggested team rep, please feel free to add your support. Likewise, while the person you’re nominating is expected to be an active Polyglots contributor, they do not have to be active in the global/international Polyglots community, so please share this post within your locale, too!
Nominations for Polyglots team reps will be open until November 26, 2021. Those selected as team reps will take over these responsibilities starting in January 2022 and would be in this position for the full year, until December 2022.
After the nominations close, if there are enough nominees that we need to make a selection, I will publish a poll the first week of December so everyone can cast their votes. Keep in mind that whoever is selected as a team rep will need to accept the role. So if someone nominates you, and you aren’t available or interested, don’t worry!
If you have any questions about the team rep role, want to learn more, or any other doubts, please share them here in the comments!

Unfortunately, @lasacco won’t be able to step into the role at this time – but we will leave a space for her, if that changes later in the year 😁
Thank you to everyone who shared their nominations! 🎉

I would like to nominate @evarlese (erica on Slack). Not because she created this post (but thank you for this), but because she has done some amazing work in the last years on handbook and other polyglot stuff. She understands what the needs and reaches out where needed.

Thank you so much for the nomination – I would be more than happy to help!
I’ll also use this as an opportunity to share my own +1 for both @amieiro and @vladytimy, too 🙂
