The first WordCamp Asia was held over the last weekend, and we’ll get some updates on how contributor dayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time.

Volunteers interested in taking on more responsibilities

To lower the barrier, agendas will be prepared and the groundwork handled if desired, to make it easier to jump in and participate in more ways.

If this sounds interesting, please feel free to reach out to @clorith!

Checking in with international liaisons

No major issues being reported form the international liaisons this week.

Our friends in the Russian community are currently experimenting with Telegram as a community platform, and are seeing new faces, which is an exciting development!

Open floor

Open floor is a segment of our chat that is used if there is time left of the allotted meeting time, where items not initially on the agenda can be brought up, such as feedback or ideas, anything really (so long as it relates to the support team).

Updated FAQ for topic reporting

After the recent enhancements to the topic report functionality in the forums, the FAQ entry for how to report abuse or spam has been updated accordingly.

This improves on the reporting flow, and ensures that more initial information is available to those who respond to reports, so that the reporters may retain their anonymity moving forward by not needing ot be called upon to explain their report.
