My updates on these:

Profiles — We had a bad run of people not being available due to time off and/or meetupsMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our Meetup Organizer Handbook. that is continuing though the middle next week, which meant our ‘finish v1’ did not happen yet. At this point, @melchoyce is doing some basic css cleanup and I’m writing up a spec of the dev work we need done, as development is shifting from @iandunn over to @coffee2code (Scott Reilly) for availability reasons (Ian’s been pulled into language packs, so it’s for a good cause!). When we get the things that are broken or not yet implemented into play, then we’ll revisit the design as a v2 project. Will be seeing Scott at WC Austin this weekend, so will get the spec finished with him and post afterward, and we’ll make tickets for the individual fixes on metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/..

Survey — I made the survey, and posted it to /updates for team reps to distribute, as well as the WordPress accounts on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+. If there are other networks we should push it to, suggest away. I’ll probably write a short post to the wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org//news blog to get it out there as well.

Theme Directory Featured Page — Have been trying to help mediate the brouhaha over on TRT re the featured page, talked with Matt, and this post was the result. We need to make a decision and get it going.

More meeting notes:
- We’ll add another weekly chat to focus solely an training/workshop curricula. It will be in the irc channel on Tuesdays at 18:00 UTC (2pm eastern).
- Portland speaking workshops went well. Will be working with Seattle and Vancouver to come up with a standard curriculum on the topic. Will post the materials from Portland workshop.
