Meeting Time Discussion
It’s that time of year again (for some of us!) Fall Daylight Savings Time historically makes the meeting time move forward one hour. The next meeting will take place Thursday, November 14, at 14:00 UTC.
There was discussion in a group message consisting of meeting facilitators around potentially doing a rotation of one week at a convenient time for each side of the planet. The Hosting-Community room does this and it seems to work very well. This would allow for participation from groups outside of the normal hour that we hold the meeting while also allowing folks that have been stretching outside their normal work hours to catch the meeting async. Please let us know in the comments what you think about this! There was mention of potentially doing a few months on one schedule and a rotation after. Another suggestion was around doing many meetings instead of rotating meetings. This would entail two designated meeting times a week in an effort to encourage new participants. This topic will be discussed in the next Media Meeting. Any additional ideas would be appreciated.
WordPress 5.3 Tasks
There were three tickets discussed in the meeting.
- #48518 Inconsistent behavior when a registered image size is larger than the big image threshold – Testing is being done around this issue and should be ready for 5.3.
- #48451 Regression: wp_update_attachment_metadata filter now fires very often and without complete metadata – The Follow Up Post around this outlines a few areas to focus on with the recent uploads changes. Some discussion took place around whether or not a new hook would help folks adjust to the changes. This is still to be determined.
- #48522 Attachment size not generated when large images uploaded – A few more details about this issue can be found at this Slack Link. Testing would be appreciated on this ticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker..
