They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/..

There are no plans yet and the team needs volunteers to organise it. @desrosj is ready to help.

• @estelaris asked a volunteer from the team to respond to the questions in this small interview, so she can write a post introducing the Make teams for WCEU. (Other teams are also supposed to provide information).

Mobile Apps

@estelaris asked help with reviewing the mobile apps documentation content which needs to be moved into .ord documentation. She is working on categorization of the mobile apps docs. Related questions can be asked in #docs channel.

Early tickets

@ironprogrammer raised a question if early tickets should have a deadline, and this led to a lively discussion.

Previously, this topic was discussed in the middle of January in #6-2-release-leads channel.

@marybaum suggested that a couple of weeks before 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. will be good.

@davidbaumwald doesn’t want to sign on the ‘deadline’ and presumed that what to commit depends on the best judgement of contributors (firstly committers).

@azaozz suggested defining early as ‘needs more testing if possible’.

As a resume: no one raised a hand for an exact ‘deadline’, but the early tickets need attention and better to be in Trunktrunk A directory in Subversion containing the latest development code in preparation for the next major release cycle. If you are running "trunk", then you are on the latest revision. to Beta 1 and get as much testing as possible.

5. Next Meeting

Props to @webcommsat and @marybaum for this summary review, and everyone who contributed in this Dev Chat.
