2. Open Floor
@ohia shared about WordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Madrid Contributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/.. She said, “On Friday at WCMAD I led the themes table. We had 6 new people sign on to the #themes channel, and we translated the orally to Spanish the guidelines and read about the team. Then we uploaded a theme in playground and we reviewed it for theme requirements but didn’t finish”.
She added, “It made me realize that I need to do this on my own a few times so I can be a better leader at the tables but it was a good time and everyone learned something amidst the chaos of a very loud CD”.
During the open floor, @kafleg shared about the WordPress 6.7 change, per @joyously comment in the meeting agenda post. With the WordPress. 6.7 change, that could affect themes that use the accordion markup in the Customizer Tool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings. theme page:
