One more thing.
Since June, the doors are wide open for any localeLocale Locale = language version, often a combination of a language code and a region code, for instance es_MX denotes Spanish as it’s used in Mexico.

Notable channels already created are:
- polyglots-it (and polyglots-it-pte for PTEProject Translation Editor A Project Translation Editor (often referred to as PTE) is a person, who has access to validate strings on a specific project (for example BuddyPress, WooCommerce or Twenty Fourteen) for one specific locale.

A regional/local/locale channel on our global Slack domain is much easier to join for new contributors, and the conversation doesn’t vanish after 90 days, as is the case on the free service layer that virtually all locale domains are using.

If you want to create a channel for your locale team (or perhaps a local/regional channel for general stuff, meetups, etc), please fill out the form in channel community-slack-migration.

Get in touch with me @tobifjellner (Tobi), @nilovelez (Nilo), or @supernovia (Velda) if you’ve got any questions or need to structure your ideas, or simply ask in the channel I linked above.

Correction: This agenda originally said the meeting at 7:00 UTC. We currently alternate between the Asia-Pacific and EMEA time slots every other week, and this week’s chat is at 13:00 UTC. I’ve updated the post — apologies for any confusion!

I’m happy to host at either time, so I’ll be facilitating this week’s meeting. See you 👋
