You don’t need edit access to use the Figma libraries, you can copy components from there into your own drafts. If you’re a contributor with the ability to grant edit access, please be mindful, and downgrade to view access once the initial need for edit has waned.
We have an open call for note takers and triage facilitators. These both are great ways to get involved for new contributors but everyone is welcome to help out. Let us know if you are interested in the comments.
Contributions to the Design Team is always welcomed. Please pingPingThe 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.”@estelaris or @chaion07 and they will guide you through.
Announcements
WordPress has turned 18 Last week we celebrated the 18th anniversary of WordPress’ launch, a day that we can fondly refer to as WordPress’ birthday.
Since our last birthday we developed our 40th release and now also support over 40% of the web. So it seems fitting that this year’s celebration should be a list of 40 milestones that have helped us get there.
Bug Scrub Schedule for 5.8 As we are at feature freeze for 5.8 release the next milestone is the BetaBetaA 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 which is set for June 8. I along with @lukecarbis are leading scheduled bug-scrubs that usually happen twice a week. For the most part, they’re scheduled for Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays at 4:00 UTC for APAC time zones and 20:00 UTC for US /EU regions, though there are some adjustments to accommodate religious and national holidays. The next one is on June 8, Tuesday at 2000 UTC. Come join if you can as we look to address a few bugs and defects for 5.8 🎉
Proposal to tweak existing icons and add new ones There is a proposal by @keoshi on the existing icons. The discussion goes back a couple of weeks over Slack that has been documented in the Meeting Notes. We would love to hear your thoughts, concerns, and suggestions on the above. If there are no major disagreements or changes to be done, the next step would be create a PR to submit all of these to the repo.
WordCamp Europe 2021 As we are just days away from WCEU 2021 which is set to take place between 7 and 9 June, we wanted to remind everyone to get their tickets before it runs out. Noting that 2 #design team members talking this year:
@javierarce will present Using Figma in the Design Team Workshop on Monday, June 7 at 18.00 CEST
@estelaris will be part of a panel discussion on How contributors make WordPress – Wednesday, June 9 at 16:00 CEST
CoreCoreCore is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. blog highlights
@estelaris suggested that we add a link to the handbook that references the fact that Figma now provides a link to give view access to the WP library. This way we can remove the note about emailing invites. @karmatosed, @kellychoffman, and @melchoyce agreed. Estela will do the update.
