Looking for volunteers
- Any developers want to work on any of the team’s 17 good first issues?
Each week, the team hosts a dev-squad triage session, where they triage website development GitHub issues. In that process, the squad mark issues they think would be great for first-time contributors to start on.
- Who would like to facilitate an Online Workshop this year?
One of the content types Training publishes on Learn WordPress is – Online Workshops. As we start the new year, we’d like to invite anyone in the team to apply to host or co-host a workshop this year.
