Title: Weekly meetings: time to focus Author: Tammie Lister Published: March 2, 2016 --- [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/karmatosed/) [Tammie Lister](https://profiles.wordpress.org/karmatosed/) 10:55 am _on_ March 2, 2016   # Weekly meetings: time to focus Our weekly meetings have since the end of last year faded a little. We took some time to talk about this as admins and initially thought about removing one to make this fortnightly. There were a few issues with this, so we talked it out. Instead, we have come up with a new plan in an attempt to really get things moving as a team again. * Lets first up move the time to 21:00 UTC, still on Tuesday still. The idea with this move is that more people in more timezones can attend. * Next up, admins are going to rotate a lot leading these meetings. With the new time change, this means we can make sure more of us are there. * Each week we will post on the Friday here what the topic will be and call for subjects. This way we can ensure something to talk about. * Meetings unless stated will reduce to 1/2 hr to really focus things. Lets consider this an experiment and something we can iterate on later. The first meeting will be lead by [@emiluzelac](https://profiles.wordpress.org/emiluzelac) and be at 21:00 UTC Tuesday 8th March. The subject will the looking at where we are with the roadmap. ### Share this: * [ Threads ](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2016/03/02/weekly-meetings-time-to-focus/?share=threads) * [ Mastodon ](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2016/03/02/weekly-meetings-time-to-focus/?share=mastodon) * [ Bluesky ](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2016/03/02/weekly-meetings-time-to-focus/?share=bluesky) * [ Facebook ](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2016/03/02/weekly-meetings-time-to-focus/?share=facebook) * [ X ](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2016/03/02/weekly-meetings-time-to-focus/?share=x) * [ LinkedIn ](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2016/03/02/weekly-meetings-time-to-focus/?share=linkedin) * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fthemes%2F2016%2F03%2F02%2Fweekly-meetings-time-to-focus%2F%23respond&locale=en_US) 1. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/809db0a17fba9bbc5e4377329f568e46e1a3d3b5edd0fd9896dab5e7b0fe5a1a? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 2. [Hardeep Asrani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hardeepasrani/) 1:39 pm _on_ March 2, 2016 3. One topic I’d like to suggest for the next meeting will be the use of “Twenty….” related names. To discuss whether themes should be allowed to have that name or not, as our current guidelines have no direct answer. 🙂 4. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eae9b03fdf1750ad9ecddf610003712fb406bce09006a0c4596071960057ea0e? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [Ulrich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grapplerulrich/) 3:17 pm _on_ March 2, 2016 * As far as I know. The Twenty serie theme names are blocked from being uploaded so you can’t upload a TwentySeventeen. Anything else is allowed. - ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/809db0a17fba9bbc5e4377329f568e46e1a3d3b5edd0fd9896dab5e7b0fe5a1a? s=32&d=mm&r=g) - [Hardeep Asrani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hardeepasrani/) 8:21 pm _on_ March 2, 2016 - I asked that and there’s no clear guideline for it. We encourage not to use this pattern, but we don’t have a proper rule. But it was in the old handbook which now has been depreciated. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eae9b03fdf1750ad9ecddf610003712fb406bce09006a0c4596071960057ea0e? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [Ulrich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grapplerulrich/) 8:41 pm _on_ March 2, 2016 * We don’t need to have a guideline for this as the names are reserved and you can’t upload a theme with that name. I found an email from Otto that confirmed that the names are reserved. - ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/809db0a17fba9bbc5e4377329f568e46e1a3d3b5edd0fd9896dab5e7b0fe5a1a? s=32&d=mm&r=g) - [Hardeep Asrani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hardeepasrani/) 7:49 pm _on_ March 4, 2016 - Ahaa, then we really don’t. Thanks for the info. 🙂 - ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/015463b5898653ffbefec90328d251831d77937353ee92bfaec2283815ebc6a3? s=32&d=mm&r=g) - [WPDevHQ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wpdevhq/) 12:14 am _on_ March 6, 2016 - [@Ulrich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/Ulrich/) I don’t think the “blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.” actually works since we have this [https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30967](https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30967) in the que! * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eae9b03fdf1750ad9ecddf610003712fb406bce09006a0c4596071960057ea0e? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [Ulrich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grapplerulrich/) 7:11 am _on_ March 6, 2016 * There is currently no blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor.

In this case the theme was a clone and could be directly closed. The admins are normally going through the tickets to see for basic issues and fix them accordingly. 5. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/015463b5898653ffbefec90328d251831d77937353ee92bfaec2283815ebc6a3? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 6.

Hey peeps I’m going to try take a lead at 14:00, my oldest brother just got twins, so… I am thinking yes, but there’s a possibility that someone would need to take over this time… 12. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8013a62d7397c006bae48b96d6832a573ea71a7d5d3597fe584210567b508c05? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 13. [Justin Tadlock](https://profiles.wordpress.org/greenshady/) 7:33 pm _on_ March 8, 2016 14. Just a quick announcement I wanted to throw out in the meeting. I’ve come across a few themes recently using `site_url()` where they should be using `home_url()`. Just something we should keep an eye out for. 15. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/213ffa27eb35ac4a16040157d8d9d8c9a1be19971a387774a8891893215ed084? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [Emil Uzelac](https://profiles.wordpress.org/emiluzelac/) 7:52 pm _on_ March 8, 2016 * Cool! ### Leave a Reply 󠀁[Cancel reply](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2016/03/02/weekly-meetings-time-to-focus/?output_format=md#respond)󠁿 You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fthemes%2F2016%2F03%2F02%2Fweekly-meetings-time-to-focus%2F&locale=en_US) to post a comment.
