So, who is available to manage Slack and who can co-host with @DevMuhib on MeetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for โ€˜WordPressโ€™ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area.?

    Announcement

    Weโ€™re considering issuing certificates specifically for course cohort students. Unlike automated course completion certificatesโ€”which can sometimes be misusedโ€”cohorts are different. In a cohort, students must actively participate in regular classes, complete assessments, and pass an exam before earning a certificate.
