This post summarizes the Tide chat meeting from November 5th in the #tide Slack channel (agenda, Slack archive).
Reminder that the current Tide focus is integrating PHP Compatibility data from Tide into WordPress.org. Once PHP Compatibility is integrated into WordPress.org, we’ll assess the next focus to provide the biggest impact to the community.
1.0.0
- Significant progress at WCUS Contributor Day working through open issues and PRs in the 1.0.0 milestone
-
@valendesigns in offsite meetings all week, aiming to resolve any issues in PRs and get those to merge and a v1.0 RC later this month
Proposal to adjust Tidechat scheduling
- Proposal from @jeffpaul to adjust Tidechat scheduling to every 2 weeks, alternating between a status update/open floor session and a working session.
- One week we’d have a regular update meeting / open floor session for 30 minutes, then 2 weeks later we’d have a mini-Contributor Day-like working session for 2 hours (possibly via video-chat with fall-backs to audio-only and text-only as contributors prefer) with folks who show up to work through an issue together (ideally decided upon in the previous tidechat).
- Part of the reasoning is that our weekly meetings have gotten repetitive in what’s happened since the previous weeks, hoping to give folks an extra week to work on contributions, and also that we tend to see the biggest jump in contributions when we’re working together on a topic.
- This proposal came out of discussions at WCUS Contributor Day as something worth trying to improve our progress towards v1.0.
- It would mean that our next tidechat would be on November 19th and would be an active working session. Then December 3rd would be an update/open floor session. And our final tidechat for the year on December 17th would be another working session.
- Our first meeting in 2020 to be January 7th as an update/open floor where we discuss how this adjusted tidechat schedule has worked and what further tweaks we’d want to make.
- @valendesigns @kkoppenhaver @williampatton @fahimmurshed concurred with the proposal so we’ll shift to that starting immediately
Open floor
- Thanks to all everyone who showed up to the Tide table at WCUS Contributor Day this weekend. Your contributions and input are greatly appreciated!
