[⌊Twenty Fourteen example⌉⌊Twenty Fourteen example⌉[ We’ll kick off office hours for 3.8 cycle next Tuesday August 13, [17 UTC](http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=17&min=00&sec=0&p1=0), in [#wordpress-dev](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/wordpress-dev/) IRCIRC Internet Relay Chat, a network where users can have conversations online. IRC channels are used widely by open source projects, and by WordPress. The primary WordPress channels are **#wordpress** and **#wordpress-dev**, on irc.freenode.net.. Covering goals, scope, and how best to split up tasks. If time allows we can jump into tickets. Then throughout the 3.8 cycle making the office hours a habit on Tuesdays and Thursdays at [17 UTC](http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=17&min=00&sec=0&p1=0). Don’t worry if you can’t make it every single chat—we’ll be posting here with the [twentyfourteen](https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/twentyfourteen/) tagtag A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.) to keep you updated—and you can follow [commits](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/log/trunk/src/wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/) and [tickets](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=accepted&status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&status=reviewing&component=Bundled+Theme&summary=~Fourteen&group=milestone&col=id&col=summary&col=milestone&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&order=priority) via TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress..

I am yet to update a couple of my sites to 3.6 and we’re already working on 3.7… _and_ 3.8! I love this new fast-paced release cycles of WordPress. Also, this new default theme totally doesn’t look default-ish, more like a premium. It is just cool… and it’s still in its infancy! 8.

It’d be nice since it’s not as much code or strain browsers as it used to be if we could have that vertical nav sticky…I know that’d be something that I had to do for every site with that theme….but I’m stoked to strip that one down and have my way with it when it hits the streets! 21. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/2f64e63206c7f1619a7392db55be480ca81c26be964f6c56ae328537d3580f9d? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [VegasKev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/vegaskev/) 5:55 pm _on_ August 9, 2013 * Also, will you guys be using isotope or masonry to organize the loopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts.
