Our next meeting falls between holidays for many attendees and often the last week of the calendar year is not the most active for contributors. Should we postpone the meeting 1 week, or skip it and resume on January 10 (11th for some regions)?
This week’s meeting will be held at 21UTC on Wednesday, December 13.

- Projects
- Are there any new projects in Meta currently being worked on?
- Data Liberation and data-liberation GitHub project.
- Meta Posts
- 2024 Planning
- Ideas thus far:
- Components maintainers. These are rather dated, less known about, and in need of some attention.
- @Steve Dufresne also was asking in #marketing about Meta being in the results for https://make.wordpress.org/contribute, and receiving feedback that might be challenging for new contributors.
- improve the pledges page to better reflect the people who are actively contributing, and to make it easier to identify and contact people who are looking. Better identifying new people (or just people who are around and looking for something to do) and identifying projects that need help would be a good start.

- Meta Team is not in the “Contribute Orientation” tool
- Ideas sought for new contributors
- Teams having a way to say “here’s a project/task”, and people having a way to volunteer for it, with some kind of two-way integration
- Team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. election and meeting facilitators
- Making the various Meta GitHubGitHub 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/ repos a bit more accessible to visitors. More extended descriptions, issue templates, and the like.
