    June 4, 2020 — This is a tutorial showing how to edit videos before uploading them to wordpress.tv.

    In this video I recorded the basic steps for cutting unwanted footage at the beginning and at the end, adding the intro/outro slides, adding the speaker’s slides when needed and exporting the final video.

  • Drew Jaynes: How to Win Friends and Influence WordPress Core

    WordCamp Portland 2017Speaker: Drew Jaynes

    December 31, 2019 — It’s no secret that one of the WordPress core team’s greatest barriers to entry is contributors feeling like they don’t have anything of value to offer; nothing could be further from the truth.

    Every potential contributor has something to offer whether they realize it or not, and this session will give them many of the tools and advice they’ll need to succeed in helping to influence the future of WordPress.

    Topics covered: entry points for contributors of all levels, whether they’re developers, designers, copywriters, or everyday users. We’ll briefly cover the process of joining the “Making WordPress” community, methods to have your voice heard, submitting patches and keeping trac tickets moving, bringing core down to the local community level, and more.

  • Remkus de Vries, Ptah Dunbar, Milana Cap, Cal Evans: Running a Successful Contributor Day

    WordCamp US 2019Speakers: Remkus de Vries, Ptah Dunbar, Milana Cap, Cal Evans

    November 14, 2019 — Many WordCamps do not have contributor days or hackathons… many organizers hold back thinking they can’t provide a “good enough” experience or maybe their local community isn’t “developer focused.” There are also camps that have done these in the past and want to learn more ways to improve the experience for future events.

    There are also contributor day / hackathons that don’t involve WordCamps (language transition day, WordPress.tv captioning, etc.). Explore the potential for local or online single-day events that cover the space between a regular meetup and an annual WordCamp.
