Agenda
📓 ··· Here is the agenda for this meeting ···
WordPress Community
Hosting Team Time
Hosting Team Projects
Open Floor
Would anyone like to add to or change any items on the agenda?
OK, let’s get started with the WordPress Community news.
WordPress Community
:wordpress: ··· WordPress 6.2.1 ···
WordPress 6.2.1 Maintenance & Security Release
WordPress 6.2.1 is now available! This minor release features 20 bug fixes in Core and 10 bug fixes for the block editor.
This release also features several security fixes. Because this is a security release, it is recommended that you update your sites immediately. All versions since WordPress 4.1 have also been updated.
The security team would like to thank the following people for responsibly reporting vulnerabilities, and allowing them to be fixed in this release.
:community: ··· 20 Days to Celebrate 20 Years of WordPress, From Blogs to Blocks ···
20 Days to Celebrate 20 Years of WordPress, From Blogs to Blocks
We are so happy to be celebrating WordPress and the incredible WordPress community as we approach the 20th anniversary of WordPress on May 27, 2023. We hope you enjoy participating in this community game and that it gives you an opportunity to reflect on and share your favorite parts of WordPress.
Hosting Team Time
🗓️ ··· Hosting Contributor Day ···
Heads up, some events are coming down the pipeline along with some Contributor Days to participate in:
Is anyone going to a WordCamp and wants to lead a Hosting Table?
Great, so just a look at our projects.
Hosting Team Projects
📕 ··· Advanced Administration Handbook ···
Currently, everything pending to do is in the Issues part. A lot of "documentation + enhancement" tickets, and also some "documentation + good first issue" for Contributor Day.
If anybody needs help or mentoring for this project, @javiercasares is always available.
☁️ ··· Host Test Runners ···
The idea behind the distributed hosting tests is to run WordPress' automated test suite across a variety of hosting environments, to help verify that changes on WordPress don't unintentionally affect hosts, and to help hosts be aware of how changes on WordPress or their environments affect how WordPress runs on their services.
Hosts that report receive automated emails when the tests are passing on WordPress.org, but failing on their environment so that they can investigate.
We want to make sure that as many hosts as possible are included in the Host Test Results database, so that WordPress users, the #core-test, and the #core team can benefit from this valuable resource. That's why we're asking you to check if your host is already supporting Host Test Results, and to add your host if it still needs to be included.
To check if your hoster is already supporting Host Test Results, visit the website (https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/test-results/) and search for your host's name. If your host is already included, great! You can use the information provided to make sure that you're getting the best possible performance and reliability from your site.
If your host isn't included, don't worry, you can still help! You can just follow the instructions on the website to add your host to the database. It's quick and easy, and you'll be helping other WordPress users find the best hosts for their sites. However, if your host has not received reports in the last 25 revisions, we encourage you to check back with them.
☁️ ··· WordPress /hosting page & Project Bedrock ···
Project Bedrock (aka WordPress /hosting)
For a long time, there has been wordpress.org/hosting, which is underused and which is currently just that, a simple page.
This project began as the "Requirement Matrix" Criteria, a list created by several members of the Community in which dozens of factors are listed by which each of these hosting providers can be considered, either by functionalities (not numbers), alignment with the project and WordPress values, the minimum technical requirements and options.
Actual status
The criteria to appear on the list is the same, so, after talking personally with some of you during the last few days, we have some proposal in mind.
The idea is to create our own list. Yes, it's not as fancy as making a searchable directory, but we can consider making a version as complete or less as a form (it doesn't have to be on the WordPress.org website itself) although the results would probably be on Make/Hosting (in the Handbook or on a specific page).
A first idea could be that, between now and WordCamp Europe we prepare the web / form / whatever we want, and present it. There is little time, but we would have the day of the Contributor Day to have it.
Once that, what to do with it? Submit it to all WordCamp Europe sponsors that offer hosting to appear there.
Subsequently, we will analyze that all the requirements to appear on the list are met and create this first version of the page, with at least 25 suppliers, although if we can get 50, all the better! :)
Once this list is in place, analyzed and with everything reviewed, the proposal would be for Matt to review it, if he wants to post some of them on the current /hosting page, let him do so, but, ask, that there be a link to this revised list maintained by the Hosting Team from there.
Isn't that what we want? No, it's a long way from Project Bedrock, but it's a first approach to show that it can be done, or even to propose something more similar (other than /hosting) elsewhere on WordPress.org.
What do you think? Any suggestions?
Open Floor

📌 Okay, we're out of time for today, let's close out this meeting.
