Dev Chat agenda, July 20, 2022

Last week’s summary.

1. Welcome

Seriously. Devchat is NOT a meeting just for senior developers, or component maintainers, or champion coders, or people in leadership roles — though it is a good place to find people like that. Devchat is for anyone who cares about WordPress, whether you can write a line of code or not.

In short, Devchat is for you. So please say hello with an emoji — a waving hand 👋, or something that’s special for you. For example, @marybaum almost always joins a meeting with 🎾, and @sergeybiryukov signs in with a ❤️.

2. Announcements

If you have an announcement, make it here.

If you’d like to have someone at the meeting make it for you, leave it in the comments.

3. Blogblog (versus network, site) posts of note

The next major is 6.1.

The next minor is 6.0.2.

If you have an update for the group about either release, please plan to be at the chat. If participants have a question, and you are likely to have the answer, you may well get a pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” asking if you’re in the house.
