When it comes to WordPress hostingHosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet
hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website 
accessible via the World Wide Web., it’s essential that everything works smoothly,
regardless of who’s providing the hosting. The WordPress Hosting Team uses some 
cool tools to make sure of this. They follow guidelines from the WordPress CoreCore
Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Team builds WordPress.
Team, which you can find here: [WordPress Core Team’s PHPUnit Testing Guide](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/testing/automated-testing/phpunit/).
These tests are super helpful for checking if hosting services are ready for new
WordPress updates and if they’ll work well for everyone.

There are two main tools they use: the [PHPUnit Test Runner](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-runner)
repo and the [PHPUnit Test Reporter](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-reporter)
repo.

The Runner repo is like the engine that runs tests on the hosting service to make
sure WordPress will work well on it. It’s like giving the hosting a test drive to
catch any problems early.

Then there’s the Reporter repo, which works like [a dashboard on WordPress.org](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/test-results/).
It collects all the test results and shows them in a way that’s easy to understand.
This helps everyone see how different hosting services are doing and ensures they’re
all ready for the latest WordPress version.

By using these tools, hosting providers can make sure they’re always in sync with
WordPress updates. This means fewer surprises and issues for website owners, and
a smoother experience for everyone who uses WordPress.

## Tools Office hours

Future meetings will be these for the first trimester:

## Why everyone plays a role in WordPress Hosting Compatibility

When we talk about making WordPress work smoothly on different hosting services,
it’s not just a one-person job. Developers, testers, and hosting providers all have
super important roles to play. Here’s why involving everyone matters, and how the“
Five for the Future” initiative makes it all possible.

**Developers:** They’re the builders. Developers write the code that makes WordPress
and all its features possible. When it comes to hosting compatibility, they need
to make sure their code works well in various hosting environments. This means writing
clean, efficient code and being ready to tackle any hosting-specific challenges 
that come up.

**Testers:** These are the detectives in the process. Testers dive into new and 
existing features to locate any bugs or issues. Their job is to think like the end-
user and try out every possible scenario to ensure everything works as it should.
When they test WordPress on different hosting services, they can spot potential 
problems before they affect users.

**Hosting Providers:** These folks offer the space and resources for WordPress sites
to live on the internet. They need to stay on top of WordPress updates and ensure
their services are optimized for it. By being involved in testing and compatibility
checks, hosting providers can promise a smooth, trouble-free experience for website
owners.

Now, how does all this teamwork happen? That’s where “Five for the Future” comes
in. This initiative encourages companies and individuals in the WordPress community
to dedicate 5% of their resources to WordPress development and projects. It’s a 
way to give back and ensure the platform keeps growing and improving.

## Get ready: Join Our Office Hours!

Exciting times ahead! We’re gearing up for an upcoming Hackathon, and we want to
make sure everyone’s ready to hit the ground running. To help with this, we’re setting
up Office Hours over the following weeks. These sessions are all about getting you
prepped and polished for the big event, whether you’re a developer, tester, or hosting
provider.

**Why Office Hours?** Think of Office Hours as your personal prep zone. It’s a space
where you can:

 * **Ask Questions:** Stuck on something? Not sure how to tackle a challenge? This
   is your chance to ask the experts and get those A-ha! moments.
 * **Learn Best Practices:** We’ll share tips, tricks, and best practices to make
   your projects shine. From coding standards to testing techniques, you’ll get 
   the inside scoop on how to excel.
 * **Collaborate:** Meet other participants, swap ideas, and maybe even form your
   dream team for the Hackathon. Collaboration is the name of the game.
 * **Get Feedback:** Have a project idea or a piece of code you’re not sure about?
   Get constructive feedback to help you refine and improve.

**Who Should Join?** Everyone who’s planning to be part of the testing! Whether 
you’re a seasoned developer, a keen tester, or a hosting provider looking to make
your services even more WordPress-friendly, these Office Hours are for you.

**How to Prepare:** To make the most of these sessions, come with your questions,
project ideas, and anything you’ve already started working on. If you’re new to 
the scene, that’s okay too! Just bring your enthusiasm and your willingness to learn.

## Cloudfest Hackathon

The [WordPress Tools for Hosting Providers project](https://hackathon.cloudfest.com/project/enhanced-wordpress-unit-testing-suite/)
has been selected to participate on March 16-18, 2024 in the CloudFest Hackathon.

For this reason, we have 5 goals for that date.

The first is to leave a stable, functional, and documented version of the _test-
runner_ tool so that everyone works on that version. There is a [PR #199](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-runner/pull/199)
that establishes those changes and that base. It has been thoroughly tested and 
should serve as a basis so that the errors we have previously encountered are not
there.

The second is to do the same work that has been done on the _test-runner_ but on
the _test-reporter_ so that we also have a more or less stable version to work on
the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions
that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new
features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming
language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.
org Plugin Directory or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party..

The third is to leave documentation of the entire operation of the tools and how
to set them up in a development environment, as well as how they can be tested (
each tool will need its explanation, since one is best to have a very “hosting” 
environment, and for the plugin, to have a WordPress development environment of 
its own).

The fourth, which involves everyone, is to define a list of “what things we want
the tools to have.” In principle, there should be two lists, which must complement
each other. One that executes the test-runner and allows executing “things”, and
the other of the test-reporter that collects all that and displays it on the screen,
in addition to planning warnings.

The fifth and last is to say that those who want to come to hack a bit, give a read
to [Come Hack with Us.](https://hackathon.cloudfest.com/attendee-info-registration/)
We look forward to seeing you March 16-18, 2024, especially to have a great time!

# 󠀁[Hosting Team Goals for 2024](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/2024/01/31/hosting-team-goals-for-2024/)󠁿

We want your input on the goals we’re planning for this team for 2024. Our main 
ideas are to focus on 5 areas:

## Testing Project with the HostingHosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Tests

 * Continuation Plan: Enhancing our [PHPUnit test runner](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-runner)
   and [PHPUnit test reporter](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-reporter)
   by adding new capabilities and moving it to the latest tech stack.
 * Community Involvement: Inviting more hosting companies to participate and share
   their insights to enrich this project.
 * Improve communication: Contact all the testers to see if the team can help improve
   the information and feedback.

## Documentation Projects

 * Advanced Admin Documentation: Updating and expanding our resources to cover the
   latest trends and best practices in WordPress administration.
 * Hosting Handbook: Continually refining our handbook to make it an even more comprehensive
   guide for both new and veteran WordPress hosts.
 * Migrate content: There is some documentation in the Hosting Handbook that should
   be in the Advanced Administration or, maybe, other handbooks.

## The Hosting Event 2024

 * Event Planning: Organizing a hosting-centric WordPress event in June 2024 (before

## Hosting Directory

 * Based on the [Hosting Survey](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/2023/07/26/wordpress-hosting-survey/)
   and the [Project Bedrock](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FhjFjY9I6gn6uqz4oBsHvYzxnrUg0RfAYuRhlLjdWec/edit),
   we may, once again, try to find a way to create a site or directory for hosting
   companies that align with WordPress values.

Those are the main ideas for this 2024. Please leave your comments, your implication
in any project via the [Five for the Future](https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/)(

## Data Liberation

About **Data Liberation**, maybe the team can help with some documentations. This
project is focused on moving around different CMS (mainly), but we can try on helping
to move around some technical things like domains, DNSDNS The Domain Name System(
DNS) is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for resources connected to
the Internet. Most prominently, it translates more readily memorized domain names
to the numerical IP addresses needed for locating and identifying computer services

About this last…

Some ideas that people asked in the past for the “test-runner”:

 * WP-CLIWP-CLI WP CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative
   and development tasks in a programmatic way. Unit testingUnit test Unit testing
   is a software testing method by which individual units of source code—sets of
   one or more computer program modules together with associated control data, usage
   procedures, and operating procedures—are tested to determine whether they are
   fit for use.
 * test the WordPress + some “blueprint” (some themes and plugins)

and, for the reporter:

 * list “by provider”
 * list by “php-extension” / versions

We will publish soon a more detailed post about the Cloudfest Hackathon project.

## WordPress Hosting Team event

Floating ideas:

 * Event about hosting, security, performance, and sustainability.
 * Event date: 2023-06-12 (so, Wednesday before Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor
   Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they 
   can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work
   on various areas of [https://make.wordpress.org/](https://make.wordpress.org/)
   There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus.

   WCEU)
 * Event time around 0800-1400 (this will leave the afternoon free, so there is 
   time to visit the city or go to WCEU sponsor events)
 * One track, but two kinds of talks: “Community” and “Professional”. “Community”
   from the community to the attendees, so we can show WordPress projects and how
   Host can benefit and contribute. “Professional” so professionals can give us 
   some great talks about what they are doing around hosting, security, performance,
   and sustainability…

When we have some OK from different parts involved, and we can start, officially,
we will announce everything and start detailing more. We already have a location
in Torino that would be available.

We will probably have 80-100 attendance… so, we may need to limit the people from
the same company, so at least, 40-50 different companies can attend… [some ideas came in](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C3D6T7F8Q/p1704910929266839).

## Team meetings

Future meetings will be these for the first trimester:

 * 2024-01-10 1800 UTC (this meeting)
 * 2024-01-24 0900 UTC
 * 2024-02-07 1800 UTC
 * 2024-02-21 0900 UTC
 * 2024-03-06 1800 UTC
 * 2024-03-20 0900 UTC
 * 2024-03-27 0900 UTC (tentative, WordPress 6.5 release)

## Office hours

Same as we are working on reducing the weekly meetings, the focus for this 2024 
is to increase the work on Documentation and Tools, and support for Hosting providers.

We will propose a calendar for those meetings.

Topics:

 * Documentation ([Hosting Team Handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/))
 * Documentation ([Advanced Admin Handbook](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/))
 * Tools ([Test Runner](https://github.com/WordPress/phpunit-test-runner) aka test-
   runner)
 * Tools ([API and Results Page](https://github.com/wordpress/phpunit-test-reporter)
   aka test-reporter)

The idea is to have at least a weekly meeting about one of these topics.
