Communication

We have Office Hours four times a week in the #community-events channel on Slack: Mondays & Wednesdays 22:00 UTC, Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:00 UTC.

We also have regular Community Team meetings on the first and third Thursdays of every month at 11:00 UTC and 20:00 UTC in #community-team on Slack (same agenda).

Events WidgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user.

If you have questions about the Events and News dashboard widget that came out in WordPress 4.8, please read this FAQ!

Remember that many of the global community team deputies will still be hanging around in #community-events on Slack so if you need help, that will be the best place to ask any questions.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to make a call for deputies to volunteer to cover the following Office Hours shifts in #community-events:

Monday January 22 at 22:00 UTC
Tuesday January 23 at 9:00 UTC
Wednesday January at 24 22:00 UTC

We’ll be back to our normal schedule on Monday, January 29!
