January 18th Support Team Meeting Summary

General announcements

Monday January 22nd we’ll have our next support workshop.

WordPress 4.9.2

WordPress 4.9.2 was released last week, primarily to address security patches.
WordPress 4.9.3 is now tentatively scheduled for the end of January, but this date may still change.
