November 13, 2016 — Part 2

A couple of months ago I contacted Petya Raykovska of the Polyglots Team and asked if she had any issues with an idea I had to contact several of the teams that would be involved in the Global WordPress Translation Day 2, record a Skype video call and put them all together and publish them on WordPress TV. She was excited about the idea and gave me her blessing.

I used information that was available on the Polyglots Team page at make.wordpress.org to contact 25 random teams and tried to arrange times during the November 12th event to record a short video.

I was able to connect with 16 teams or people and this is the result. The locations and people I connected with are listed below.
