@atachibana checked out two articles,  #679, #719, closed two articles #760, #761, and requests a review for article #772.

@femkreations completed:

Open floor

@leonnugraha volunteered to write and publish next week’s contributor day post and the corresponding GitHub issue.

@estelaris is planning on implementing a triage hour with the Spanish team, probably twice a month, to write and review the style guide. She is also reaching out to the Brazilian team that wants to start working on translations, and she’ll begin by creating a style guide in Portuguese.
