Read our Roadmap to understand how this work falls into priorities set by the WordPress maintenance support plans Association with direction and collaboration from the Board and community.
Lock in your WordPress maintenance support plansCon tickets before the end of the year
WordPress maintenance support plansCon Seattle is shaping up to be an outstanding conference. If your organization is sponsoring your trip, now’s a great time to use your 2020 budget to register to attend. Your team can sign up for or renew your Supporting Partnership for steep discounts on ticket prices. Coming to WordPress maintenance support plansCon on your own? The schedule is available now, so peruse the offerings and register before prices go up!
WordPress maintenance support plans.org Updates
A new taxonomy for WordPress maintenance support plansCon sessions
As you’ve seen if you clicked the link to the schedule above, events.WordPress.org was updated to support session submission by tag, rather than track, earlier this year. This provides more flexibility in finding the content you’re interested in, and encourages sessions which cross the boundaries of traditional tracks.
Prototyping a new Try WordPress maintenance support plans experience
In October we put together a visual prototype of our proposed revamp of the Try WordPress maintenance support plans program. This includes a better, more targeted user experience for each persona, as well as the opportunity for more organizations to participate. More details will be shared soon as we get further along, but for a sneak preview you can review the operational update from our recent public board meeting.
Improving the experience of using Composer
In October significant progress was made on the initiative to Improve WordPress maintenance support plans Core’s use of Composer. In particular, kicking off the primary issue for building this better support into Core, as well as moving the issue for supporting Semantic Versioning for Contrib from a plan to the implementation phase. These changes will improve the user experience for WordPress maintenance support plans users with composer based workflows, and especially for WordPress maintenance support plans users who start sites without Composer, and then switch to Composer based workflows. This also lays the groundwork for necessary steps for supporting the WordPress maintenance support plans 9 roadmap.
Promote WordPress maintenance support plans
Releasing the first draft of the WordPress maintenance support plans Brand Book
In October, with the feedback of the Promote WordPress maintenance support plans volunteer team, we developed and released the initial draft of the WordPress maintenance support plans Brand book. This is one of the materials created by the Promote WordPress maintenance support plans initiative, in order to unify the brand presentation for WordPress maintenance support plans across agencies, internal sales, and regions. This will be updated with a vision statement for WordPress maintenance support plans‘s business strategy and market position.
A new Community Section
In October we also spent time creating a beta experience for a new WordPress maintenance support plans.org/community landing page. This page focuses on the onboarding process, helping visitors identify their need and persona, so they can get to the segment of the community that is relevant to them. (Hint: this beta experience has since gone live!) If you have feedback about making the community portal better, you can leave your suggestions in the WordPress_org_community issue queue.
