- Also, once you’ve written 3 meeting recap notes, you’re eligible to apply for the Training Contributor Badge that will be displayed on your WordPress.org profile! If you haven’t received the badge yet, then this is a great way to show your contributions to the world.

- Creating/editing content in preparation for the WordPress 6.4 release
We’re looking for content creators to help us work through making this list of content related to the upcoming 6.4 version release of WordPress. Our handbook will direct you on how to get started – Creating a Tutorial and Lesson Plans.
Looking for volunteers
- Would you like to co-host the weekly dev-squad GitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ triage sessions?
@psykro is currently doing an excellent job hosting weekly GitHub triage sessions. However, since he is the sole organizer of these 30-minute sessions at the moment, they don’t take place when @psykro is absent. We are seeking volunteers to co-host these sessions alongside @psykro Please leave a comment if you’re interested.
He also said: ¨ One thing that also needs to be done is documenting the process, so if there are any volunteers who are prepared to help with that as well¨ and thank you @properlypurple for your contribution. @psykro will connect with you this week.
Updates from last week’s dev-squad triage session
