Sure!! Its good saw this issue too

[MmeMarieLouise]

@lorenanicole, thanks for creating this issue! There's quite a lot in here so I think that it would be best to turn this into an epic and separate it into separate issues, what do you think ?

[lorenanicole]

@Marie-L however you all see fit! That said, I do love a tracker issue since we can use it as the final ✔️ list for ensuring all units of work done. But if you want to move into a project board, sure. Can we actually use a GitHub project board then? Looking for Google Docs can be hard to find ergo making this work not transparent .

[Caaddss]

@lorenanicole Im confusing about database and procedure to registration...will be like PSF members? I read the issues but isnt clean to me the process

[MmeMarieLouise]

@lorenanicole ok great! Yeah I'll add the issues to our current project board (unless you would like me to create a separate one for this strategy).

@Caaddss once the issues are broken down into smaller ones then we can clarify the details of each sub category and the fulfilment criteria

[lorenanicole]

We've started writing the content here, thanks @AbigailMesrenyameDogbe for tstarting this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Lt7OmbjvQCybfcQ5sclGW2pbrr1zAzGM-t5vlLmMtdw/edit?ts=5e4d62b8!

[MmeMarieLouise]

hey @lorenanicole, regarding [FEB 15 2020] Announcement for registering to be a PyLadies member how can a person register to be a pyladies member, what's the current process ? We've missed this deadline, so please let me know asap so that we can make the announcement maybe this week

update: just seen this so that answers my question about membership. When will this form be launched ? or is it being used already ?

[MmeMarieLouise]

@lorenanicole @Caaddss @AbigailMesrenyameDogbe I think that the announcements should consist of a basic graphics type ad, what do you all think ? or is a text post enough? Also @lorenanicole, who is in charge of the pyladies social media accounts and psf blog?

[MmeMarieLouise]

@lorenanicole @Caaddss @AbigailMesrenyameDogbe Epic (will be fleshed out in the coming days):

• [ ] Election Comms Strategy : advert artwork & copy #33
• [ ] Election Comms Strategy : Non-publishing work #34
• [ ] Election Comms Strategy : member registration announcement #35
• [ ] Election Comms Strategy : election announcement #36
• [ ] Election Comms Strategy : election results announcement #37

[lorenanicole]

@Marie-L the first blog post announcement to do the pyladies member registration is in a PR on the pyladies website, @pyladies/tech-and-infra-admins are the folks who have permissions for that repo.

[MmeMarieLouise]

@lorenanicole , @AbigailDogbe, @Caaddss PR for social media announcement

[MmeMarieLouise]

I'll close this issue as the work has now been completed .
