The Training Team has been discussing switching from meeting times that alternate each week to having just one set of consistent meeting times that don’t change. Thank you to everyone who provided input.
Overview
Starting July 10th (Mon), the Training team will be conducting four meetings each week at these times:
- Global Team Meeting: Tuesdays at 07:00 UTC
- APAC Coffee Hour: To be decided
- Dev-squad GitHub Triage Session: Thursdays at 07:00 UTC
- EMEA/Americas Coffee Hour: Fridays at 13:00 UTC
The official meeting calendar, the team handbook, the Welcome message on the team blog, and the sidebar waidgets, have all been update to reference these new times.
For reference, here is a list of when the next meetings will be held, shown in your local time:
- Global Team Meeting: Tuesday, 07:00.

Details
Here is more information about how each of these meetings are conducted:
- Global Team Meeting – 1 hour
- Text-based meeting in the #training channel in Slack where we cover news, project updates, and other discussion topics.
- The agenda will be created in GitHub and shared in the #training Slack channel by Monday each week.
- Anyone can contribute to discussions asynchronously, and meeting notes will be published by the end of each week.
- Coffee Hours – 1 hour
- Video-based social chats. You can also attend with audio only, or via text in the Slack thread that will be created at the time of the meeting.
- There is no formal agenda. These are designed for team members to connect with each other, and are also great opportunities to ask questions about contributing to the team.
- The Zoom link will be shared in the #training Slack channel at the time of the meeting each week.
- Dev-squad GitHub Triage Session – 30 minutes
- Text-based meeting in the #meta-learn channel in Slack where we triage pull requests and issues regarding Learn WordPress website development.
- The triage session’s focus is to help move GitHub issues forward. We will not be reviewing/verifying code, but instead reaching out to the issue submitters, helping them move their requests forward.
