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/](https://github.com/) issues related to Office Hours. You can view all open Office Hours tickets and share your suggestions here: [https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Office%20Hours%22](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Office%20Hours%22) * We have discussed starting a regular GitHub triage meeting, but this has not yet been confirmed. - Proposed schedule: Triage Squad GitHub triage – biweekly on Thursdays at [07:00 UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=07&min=00&sec=0). - Please let us know if you would be interested in joining this SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).

Big thank you to everyone who has shared feedback so far! * We’re actively updating the Training Team handbooks, and there’s still time to contribute. If you have any suggestions, improvements, or ideas, please share them – we’d greatly appreciate your input: [https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3447](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3447) ### Looking for volunteers * 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 we will help you organize and start working on these important issues. * Also, we started working on creating thumbnails for all lessons that need them. You’re very welcome to join us and contribute to this important and creative project. Here’s the issue with details on how to work on the remaining thumbnails: [https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3428](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3428) * We currently have around 555 open issues, and I think it would be more effective to divide them into smaller categories and work through them one by one. - We can start with a simple label that is suitable for everyone to review. My suggestion is: * Going through issues one by one * Identifying outdated or irrelevant issues * Suggesting fixes or next steps * Adding comments where needed (before closing or updating) * We labeled some of the issues as Good First Issues – if you want to start contributing, this is your starting point. Just go and find issues labeled as [Good First Issue](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22%5BType%5D%20Good%20First%20Issue%22), particularly those that have Feedback in the issue title – help us verify them, and you will earn the Training Team Contributor badge in no time.

Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. at a time. This should make the process more organised and easier for everyone to participate in. - We could begin with: [Content] Needs Translation Reviewer – [https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22%5BContent%5D%20Needs%20Translation%20Reviewer%22](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22%5BContent%5D%20Needs%20Translation%20Reviewer%22) - However, I would appreciate your suggestions on which category would be the easiest and most useful for everyone to start with. Other available categories include: - [Issues without a label](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20no%3Alabel) - [Awaiting Triage](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Awaiting%20Triage%22) - [[Content] Feedback](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22%5BContent%5D%20Feedback%22) - [[Type] Bug](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22%5BType%5D%20Bug%22) ### Updates from last week’s Triage Squad session * We are planning to start, so if you would be interested, then comment here or on this post [Meeting agenda for July 28th, 2026](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2026/07/27/meeting-agenda-for-july-28th-2026/) ### Other announcements and news * We successfully hosted our Office Hours session on 26 July 2026 and had a productive discussion covering many valuable topics and ideas.

He is a Support Engineer at Proper Fraction LLC, has been active on WordPress.org since 2019, and works mainly in the Support team. His experience can help the team with organizational questions. ## Context The session focused on two things: an open review of participation and of how the meeting formats are scoped, and a joint pass through the Office Hours issues in the WordPress/Learn repository. There are around 526 open issues in total; seven of the Office Hours issues were closed in this session. One observation from the group: many people attend the weekly Tuesday meetings, but many of them only read along. For the Office Hours, there is little feedback on whether the format works. ## Topics ### 1. Meeting formats: Office Hours, TT-Admins, and the Tuesday meeting The group discussed that the Office Hours should be cancelled if they do not reach higher attendance, and that the format is promoted too little at the Tuesday meetings and in the monthly reports. It is striking that the Triage meeting, which has not run for months, is mentioned all the time, while the Office Hours meeting is not. Office Hours without participants are effectively a TT-Admins meeting. The proposal is to clearly separate the three formats, so it is obvious which topics belong where. The two additional formats (Office Hours and TT-Admins) are public and minuted, so everyone can take part and absent contributors can follow up asynchronously. | **Format** | **Cadence** | **Purpose** | **Which topics belong here** | | Tuesday meeting (main meeting) | weekly | Central information and coordination for the whole team | Overall status, announcements, open proposals and votes, reports from Office Hours and TT-Admins | | Office Hours | monthly, public, minuted | Substantive discussion and idea evaluation | Cross-cutting and strategic topics, new ideas and their viability, proposal preparation, open questions, onboarding topics | | TT-Admins meeting | scheduled regularly, cancelled when not needed | Administrative processes and issue tracking | Issue triage and backlog maintenance, administrative decisions, responsibilities, operational work | A coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. task of the Office Hours is to evaluate new ideas together first (in a brainstorming issue) before anyone writes a proposal. Small-scale admin and triage work does not belong in the Office Hours; it belongs in the TT-Admins meeting. Whether the TT-Admins meeting and the Triage meeting are kept separate or merged is still to be decided. The split should be written up as a proposal ( [#3536](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3536)), discussed, evaluated, and anchored in the [handbook](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/). ### 2. Collaboration instead of single proposals Ideas should be evaluated together before anyone takes on the effort of a proposal. This is the core task of the Office Hours as a public, minuted space, and the reason a regular live meeting is needed despite fluctuating attendance: direct exchange is hard to replace asynchronously. Sumit shared the view that too few people confirm an idea and drive it forward. ### 3. Issue pass Strategy: close completed and outdated tickets, and reopen on objection. Seven of the Office Hours issues were closed in this session. The regular cleanup of the backlog is a standing goal for the coming meetings. The individual issues are listed in the Action Items. ### 4. Badge system The badge system feels intransparent to parts of the team. The plan is to collect ideas internally in issue [#3487](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3487) first, turn them into a public proposal ([#3539](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3539)), and then build a work list with responsibilities and a clear checklist. Important to note: the official badges on profiles.wordpress.org are not assigned by the Training Team alone, but in coordination with the Community and MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. teams. The team can clearly define its own contributor recognition; changes to the official badges require coordination with the responsible teams. ### 5. 2026 goals Instead of yearly goals, the team should set shorter goals (about three months), so newcomers see the current plans. The goals should be written using the [SMART method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMART_criteria)( specific, measurable, attractive, realistic, time-bound) and stay connected to the team vision and the wider WordPress goals ([#3475](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3475)). ### 6. Organization and next meeting If it is decided to continue the Office Hours, the next meeting will probably be on July 26, 2026, 14:00 UTC ([#3535](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3535)). Because Rico cannot attend the Saturday Office Hours in July, the group discussed whether the meeting could move to a Sunday (July 26) as an exception. Otherwise it should take place on Saturday, July 25. Sumit will clarify this. ## Recommendations (for the team to confirm) | **#** | **Recommendation** | **Consensus of attendees** | | 1 | Close all issues that have not been touched for a year; reopen on objection by the people involved | Yes | | 2 | Set shorter goals (about three months), write them with SMART, and align them with the vision and the community goals | Yes | | 3 | Add the Office Hours as a fixed item in the weekly meetings and minutes, mention them in the monthly reports, and promote them more visibly | Yes | | 4 | Collect badge ideas, open a proposal, develop a checklist and responsibilities, and coordinate with Community and Meta | Yes, as a proposal | | 5 | Next meeting probably Sunday July 26, 2026 (as an exception) or Saturday July 25, 14:00 UTC, pending Sumit’s clarification | Yes, pending | ## Action Items | **Issue** | **Task** | **Owner** | **Status** | | [#3415](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3415) | Review the task documentation template | SAndrew | open | | [#3416](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3416) | Prepare and publish the preferred-meeting-time poll, then confirm the day and time | sumitsinghwp | open | | [#3417](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3417) | Publish the admin roster post (TT-Admins) | sumitsinghwp | open | | [#3419](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3419) | Follow up with the Meta team about the TT-Admins Slack channel | rjekic | closed | | [#3420](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3420) | Reach out to Nikola and Maria as a fallback for WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress.
