Great active phrasing, empowering the user immediately.
Hi @pameeela and all, I am happy to work closely with the Drupal Association to ensure the success of this track. Training and documentation are the launching pads of achievement and enablement, and they were my active specialities as a Drupal curriculum manager at Acquia for nearly eight years.
Absolutely. I'll keep being actively engaged on the initiative channels on Slack, actively communicate in our working group, and follow any d.o issues you recommend.
As discussed on the marketing working group call, I am happy to lead this.
I would be happy to lead/adopt this track. I'm in the Drupal Starshot Marketing Working Group.
I’m delighted to have created the YouTube channel, The Starshot Chronicles, and produced episodes shared on DA/Drupal, LinkedIn/Twitter, and the DA June Newsletter.

I'll use this video to promote sign-ups for Dries' upcoming Starshot Session: "Participation, Funding, and Governance" on May 31, 2024, from 14:30 to 31, 2024, from 14:30 to 15:30 GMT.
On Wednesday, May 29 GMT, I'll share this on my LinkedIn, the #starshot and #australia-nz Slack channels.
During feedback on this video, it became clear that at this ideation stage of Starshot, this video was best targeted at the persona of "strong familiarity with Drupal." This video intends to encourage these individuals/organizations to get more involved in Starshot.
Initially, I hoped to get those new to Drupal involved in Starshot, but feedback like the one below refined the decision.
At this stage, Starshot might seem a bit underwhelming to folks who aren't familiar with Drupal because it's just a bunch of pre-baked extras. the recipe UI goodness is still a ways off.
Targeting newcomers to Drupal CMS is better suited for a later stage when Starshot is more established and demonstratable.
