The icebreaker question was: Are you going to attend 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. Europe 2026 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://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/ online? Contributors shared a mix of responses, with some attending online, some attending in person in Poland, some helping with organization and moderation, and others not able to attend.

Looking for feedback

- To help prioritize translation efforts, which content do you think should be considered high priority for translation?
- Feedback: Suggest High Priority Content #3400
Looking for volunteers
- Our colleague @devmuhib updated two handbook pages, which can be used as guidance:
- We need your help in finding all the content that could be updated and consolidated. We would love to have two groups of volunteers: one that will go through all the handbook content, and one that will check the courses. Please state your interest, and the team will help you organize and start working on these important issues.
- Also, the team started working on creating thumbnails for all lessons that need them. You’re very welcome to join and contribute to this important and creative project. Here’s the issue with details on how to work on the remaining thumbnails: Create Thumbnails for Learn WordPress Lessons #3428.
- We currently have 511 open issues. It would be great to get support in reviewing and reducing their number.
- You can help by:
- Going through issues one by one

4. Project updates
- We’ve completed the Block 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. Theme Development learning pathway, but we’d still love your feedback to help improve it further: Block Theme Development Course Cohort Learning Pathway Development #3381.
- Status Update from the German-Language Make WordPress Training Team:
- The planned Guided Cohort has been rescheduled from April 14, 2026 to July 14, 2026 due to scheduling conflicts.
- The Self-Directed Cohort (German) will launch on April 21, 2026.
- The website is expected to go live in approximately 3–4 weeks.
- To improve our organization, we have created a 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 by the repository owner. https://github.com/ repository, which will be migrated to the German-language WordPress GitHub.
- We are cleaning up and improving the overview of German translations.
- And something VERY fresh from the German-Language Make WordPress Training Team:
- We’re happy to present the new website of the DACH Regional Group (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). It’s the central place for our work translating Training Team content into German and our learning sessions in German. Have a look here: https://learn-wp-dach.org/

- A fresh update was shared from the German-Language Make WordPress Training Team: the new website of the DACH Regional Group for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland is now live. It is the central place for the team’s work translating Training Team content into German and organizing learning sessions in German.
- @VasantRajput raised a question about the new look of WordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ profiles, noting that while the updated profile view looks good, GitHub activity from issues created in the WordPress/Learn project used to appear in the previous profile activity view but does not seem to appear in the current latest view. He asked where this can be reported, which team would be best placed to look into it, and whether a ticket or issue should be created for follow-up. Contributors who know the right place to raise this are encouraged to share guidance in the meeting thread.
