In our most recent [IRC meeting ](https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-themes&day=2014-09-02&sort=asc#m107388)
we brought up the idea of theme review mentors. It was received very well by several
and look forward to this initiative.

We all welcomed a new admin [@karmatosed](https://profiles.wordpress.org/karmatosed/)(
Tammie ) as Chip has chosen to take a [sabbatical from admin duties](https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2014-September/020158.html);
we all support his decision and wish him a happy return. On the other side of the
fence Srikanth ( [@tskk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tskk/) ) and I will have
the ability to push theme reviews live. The [decision](https://lists.wordpress.org/pipermail/theme-reviewers/2014-September/020124.html)
was made shortly after our meeting. ( I didn’t want to pingPing The act of sending
a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to
illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a 
term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users 
might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” Otto because
it was the week of 4.0 release. ) No new role being created just adding an ability–
setting a theme live.
