# Support Team meetup summary for October 1st

Items discussed at yesterday’s Support Team meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings
that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized
through [https://www.meetup.com/](https://www.meetup.com/). A meetup is typically
a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek 
help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find
options in your area..

### Reminder: SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform 󠀁[https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/)󠁿. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at 󠀁[https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/)󠁿 is public and logged

Please remember that the Slack sessions are logged and public. Very public. It’s
easy to forget that and make a comment about someone who will see it immediately
or later when they look at the logs.

If there’s something that needs to be dealt with privately then that’s where it 
should happen. I’m sure we all have experienced when a flippant off hand comment
came back later and made things complicated. And while the DMs in Slack are intended
to be private and not released, be aware that Slack is like any other social service
that you do not personally manage.

A little caution can go a long way. 😀

### Community Summit agenda for the support team

As we get close to December this will keep coming up. This is the list so far.

 * bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily
   creating forums on sites. [https://bbpress.org](https://bbpress.org) 2.x for 
   the support forums. It’s a complicated matter and we still don’t have a way to
   clone people _and/or_ have a Tardis to help those people cross their own time
   line. Please consider pinging [@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/)
   or [@justingreerbbi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/justingreerbbi/) if you’d
   like to help in vetting plugins for that migrationMigration Moving the code, 
   database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most 
   typically done when changing hosting companies..
 * HelpHub participation. There is a [recurring HelpHub meeting](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2015/09/30/helphub-meeting-recap-sept-29/),
   please participate. There’s a lot to cover and HelpHub would be a great support
   tool.

### Profile Badges

While the possibility of automating them may exist someday, for now badges are manually
assigned to accounts. After bbPress 2.x is rolled out (there’s no ETA on that) then
badges may become automated.
