Announcements
- Chrissy made a Slack channel for the steering circle
- If you are invited attendance is not mandatory but we'd like to have
representation from each team, so share the invitation - WPD is April 28, next week, Erico gave a brief description
Still looking for talks, especially in other languages
Want to fill Plone's Youtube channel for 24 hours with diversity of content
We are using Streamyard, simple for participants, provides branding features
Prefer to have prerecorded videos done in Streamyard, but not required
Each presentation will need its own Streamyard URL - request on
talk submission form: Contact information
or ask Erico if already submitted
Should be possible to edit out flubs if required - The marketing team is creating a canonical Plone 6 presentation (10-15 slides)
which will be translated into a variety of languages - encouraging short
presentations on this in all the languages - goal is to tell the world
about Plone 6 in a unified voice
