Updates from last week’s Triage Squad session

  • As there was no one available to host the meeting last week, the triage-squad session has been moved to this Thursday at 07:00 UTC in the #meta-learn channel. This will be the last triage-squad session of 2024. It has also been suggested that triage-squad sessions move from bi-weekly for half an hour to once a month for one hour. I’d like to propose we kick this off in January, and have triage-squad sessions on the 4th Thursday of every month, for one hour.
