# Dev Chat Agenda for November 1 (4.7 week 11)

This is the agenda for the weekly dev meeting on [November 1, 2016 at 20:00 UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20161101T2000):

 * Schedule reminder:  The Chat remains at 20:00 UTC.  Day Light Savings Time means
   that 20:00 UTC may be a different time for you already, or it may be a different
   time soon.
 * [Schedule](https://make.wordpress.org/core/4-7/) reminder: Today is the target
   for BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of 
   users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing
   in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final
   product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 2! That 
   leaves us one week until the final scheduled beta, where [the list of tickets](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/6)
   should be at zero. It is currently at 74.
 * Ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug 
   tracker. reminder: [For any tickets you’ve moved into the milestone](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/61),
   please make sure these are active tickets, with some kind of activity in the 
   last 7 days.
 * Call For Bug Scrubs:  Can you run a scrub to help ensure tickets move forward?
 * Dev Notesdev note Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a 
   developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include 
   a description of the change, the decision that led to this change, and a description
   of how developers are supposed to work with that change. Dev notes are published
   on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing
   dev notes is particularly important when plugin/theme authors and WordPress developers
   need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into
   a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase.:  These should
   all be published this week this week
 * Beta 2:  What needs to be done to get this out the door?
 * [4.6 open ticket scrub](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/6)
