December 10 Meeting Summary and 4.5 Call for Volunteers

We gathered together after the marvelous release of 4.4. Many congrats to @wonderboymusic, his deputies @sergeybiryukov and @ocean90, and all contributors who helped out! See the full transcript for the entire chat.

On 4.4

What’s Next?
@helen is building a product design team that is kicking off shortly. I’m excited about this — it’s an opportunity to really step up our game in the UXUX User experience space. She’ll be building out a few projects and calling for volunteers on make/design, so watch there if you’re interested in getting involved.

Officially, 4.5 doesn’t kick off until early January, but I’d like to start off with a ready-to-go set of teams. The time between now and then is also great for preparing feature plugins that you’re interested in seeing merged.
