Open Discussions

• I am planning to organize a contribution hour where we can join together on a Zoom call and collaboratively work on resolving some issues live. What do you think about the idea?
  • @rjekic: This is a great proposal – I remember we had something called Study Hours that was a learning-together session. Great.
  • @vasantrajput: @devmuhib Nice, please share the Date-Time, and if possible, then I can join as co-host with @devmuhib.
• Since this will be more informal and spontaneous, there will not be any fixed official schedule like the Office Hours. We can simply announce it 1–2 days in advance and organize a session on any suitable day. Other admins can also host similar sessions if they are interested.
• Have you noticed that WordPress recently updated the look of their user profiles? What are your thoughts on the new design?
  • @vasantrajput: Yes, New design is impressive
  • @kpdaa: It is more informative and detail-oriented. Appreciate the new look.
• Looks like we don’t have anything at the moment. If anyone has anything async. Please reply in this thread and we can keep the discussion going.
• And that concludes this week’s meeting. Thanks to all who participated in sync and to those that will in the future.
