Bit of a late entry for agenda posts, apologies for that, it’s been a hectic couple of days… can you say 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. 1?!! We’ll no doubt talk about that, but please also share any items you’d like to include in the comments below.

• Announcements – let’s celebrate the release of Beta 1 of 5.6
• Highlighted blogblog (versus network, site) posts
  • Introducing GitHub Actions for Automated Testing – worth a look, this was used to good effect in the release this week. I think there are opportunities to contribute to this if you’re available. Please check it out.

No other current posts to review. But please test and review the beta version and bring any issues/bugs to chat to discuss.

• Calls from component maintainers and/or focus leads
• Open Floor: If you have something else you want to include to the agenda, please mention it in the comments below.

The #dev-chat meetings will be held on Wednesday, 21 October 2020, 05:00UTC and Wednesday, 21 October 2020, 2000UTC. These meetings are held in the #core channel. To join the meeting, you’ll need an account on the Making WordPress Slack .
