🟢 WordPress 6.7 Server Compatibility
Handbook updates for WordPress 6.7

You also have everything much more detailed in the Server Environment section of the handbook.
🟢 Create connections between Performance Team and Hosts
@ DD32 created the new ##core-performance-hosting channel which is aimed to increase the cooperation between the Core Performance team and our hosting team. The channel is already pretty active so thank you all for the work!
🟢 WordPress Hosting Team Reps
It is this season of the year again where we start to think about 2025 and a big part of this will be about who represents the Hosting Team. In the WordPress open-source project, each team has on average one or two representatives, abbreviated as Reps. The Team Rep represents the team to the wider Make project, and the project to the Hosting Team. Right now this Team is represented by Javier and Lucas.
The reason we have multiple Team Reps is that one can take responsibility for the duties during the first half of the term while the other provides backup, and that in the 2nd half of the term, the backup rep will take the primary responsibility. This means about 3 months learning the ropes, and about 3 months as the primary team rep.
It’s not called “team lead” for a reason. It’s an administrative role. While people elected as team reps will generally come from the pool of folks that people think of as experienced leaders, the Team Rep role is designed to change hands regularly. As a Team Rep, you’re accountable to “get things done” within the team and aggregate ideas into doable actions.
This role has a time commitment attached to it. Not a huge amount, it’s at least three hours a week. Here are the main tasks:
Full details on the Team Rep role is on the Team Update site.
The way to get the new Hosting Team Reps into the game will look like this:
Everyone is welcomed to nominate existing team members and/or themselves. Our aim is to have a the new Hosting Team Reps elected by early December and start the hand over process.
🟩 Open Floor
Ok, if nothing else, let's move on to the Open Floor. You are welcome to bring any topic up for discussion at this time.

Closing
As a reminder for the next meetings / weeks, here are the dates and times (in UTC). Remember that this team does not change the times of the meetings as they are always in universal time (which every year changing it was a mess). Some of us already changed, some stayed in their timezones and others will follow over the next few days.
🟩 Meeting Times
Goodbye
That wraps up today's meeting. Please keep in mind, our discussions can continue in the #hosting Slack channel or on Make/Hosting anytime.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! [/meeting]
