Firstly @karmatosed would like to know if we are all OK with the design meeting time staying at 18:00 UTC in the winter. So far it seems so.
Next, @mapk reports that Gutenberg 6.8 is out with a performance boost and some cool new features. A monthly post detailing the next focus tasks will now also be published, with the post for November Gutenberg dev focus being up. Also, there is news about the efforts to support full site editing with Gutenberg.
@drw158 would like some feedback on a proposal to improve the button design that was merged in WordPress 5.3. Looks like an improvement already, but there are some factors to consider. Good discussion was had, results will be posted in the linked tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. ticket.
@itsjonq has done work on designing a page header component, something in the GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler.

Finally, @boemedia wonders if there will be any remote contribution at this year’s WCUS. @karmatosed will write a post about that later. Everyone that will be at WCUS in person, have fun!
