There are many names for it: the sibling inserter, the plus button, the quick inserter button, the in-between add button, and more. Last year I wrote a GitHub issue that describes some of the confusion around this button, and much of it is still relevant. I’d like to focus our discussion around:

We’re open to anyone sharing their work, but here’s a few things we’ll likely discuss:
We had our team meeting a few days ago (Oct 6) in #design on Slack. One of the topics was around the scheduling of our meetings. Currently, we do a weekly meeting with the last meeting of the month being on Zoom.
One of the agenda items for our meeting was to discuss moving to a bi-weekly schedule. Since everyone in attendance seemed to be in favor of the change we’ll be starting this new schedule immediately. Next week (Oct 13) there will be no formal meeting. Our next meeting (Oct 20) will take place at the normal time (18:00 UTC) and will be on Zoom.
While there will be less formal, synchronous time, I encourage everyone to continue to share progress, suggest issues, and ask for help in #design on SlackSlackSlack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/.

In addition to informal Slack chatter, there’s also some ongoing “Hallway Hangout” sessions happening throughout each week. These casual hangout sessions usually take place on Zoom and topics vary. Sometimes they are planned ahead, and other times they’re spur of the moment sessions announced in Slack.
Come join us in Slack and I hope to see you at a future meeting.
As this is the last meeting of the month, we will be gathering on Zoom for our “Show & Tell.”
The agenda is open and we encourage anyone to share their design work with the team. If you have design work you’d like to share, or a topic you’d like to discuss together, please leave a comment below or in the #design channel of the WordPress Slack.
