## Agenda

You can check the initial agenda [here](https://make.wordpress.org/sustainability/2024/02/01/sustainability-chat-agenda-february-2-2024/).

We have work on the topics contributors prioritized in the last meetings:

 1. **WordPress Sustainability 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 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
    or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party.** supported by the WP Sustainability
    Team. Follow up on this project [here](https://github.com/WordPress/sustainability/discussions)
    and the last meeting’s comments [here](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C03JNV77Y57/p1705665706621249).
 2. **[WordCamp Handbook](https://github.com/WordPress/sustainability) **with sustainability
    ideas/guidelines. Follow up on this project and read some guidelines on how the
    work is happening [here](https://github.com/orgs/WordPress/projects/134/views/1?pane=issue&itemId=39388266).
 3. Our participation as a Team in the **Mentorship program** and the question about
    attracting and engaging more contributors to the team.
 4. Feedback on [the direction of the **Five for the Future**](https://make.wordpress.org/project/2024/01/24/proposal-updates-to-five-for-the-future-from-the-community-summit/)**.**
 5. **Sustainability Team Badges**. Aside of sharing ideas, doubts and examples about
    which ones we should have and how they would be obtained, a [GH issue](https://github.com/WordPress/sustainability/discussions/27)
    has been creating for working on this.
 6. A **self-approval system for moving forward**. A way to prevent proposals from 
    getting stuck due to lack of feedback has been suggested during this meeting.
