Thanks @yvettesonneveld! @abhansnuk as usual I've scheduled the Monday tweets, please take a look at the ones for the rest of the week

[abhansnuk]

Thanks Yvette and @murillol . I have changed the categorization of this task on the mapping tasks board so it appears under 'Tasks for copywriters and editors'.

Some tweaks on the above. Also do the UTC times need rechecking with the changes in daylight saving? Do we have the hashtags for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn we are using for this week on another document please?

We need to follow up what has happened to the form for Meetups to let us know their official public social media channels, currency, main hashtag, and to know which are closed groups so we know not to include these in the posts.

Posted on Facebook WordPress Events page.

This week's roundup of #WordPress Meetup Events. Which one will you be joining? #WPOnlineMeetup

If your WordPress Meetup group has official, public social media channels, let us know in the comments or on the Marketing team Make WordPress Slack Instance, and we will add the links

We need to follow up what has happened to the form for Meetups to let us know their official public social media channels, currency, main hashtag, and to know which are closed groups so we know not to include these in the posts.

• UTC times are OK, what changes is the local time (ST vs DT) which we have taken into account
• Any changes to the Twitter copy?
• The hashtags are #WordPress #OnlineWPMeetup (and #FullSiteEditing or #a11y if there is a Meetup covering that topic) - should we have a separate document with hashtags? They don't really change week over week
• I vaguely remember the Meetups form but can't find it on Drive! How else can I search for it @abhansnuk ? It was mentioned in the weekly meetings at the time, wasn't it?
• What are closed groups? The Meetup event pages all seem to accept RSVPs from anyone who wants to join
