OK, let’s get started with the WordPress Community news.
WordPress Community
:wordpress: ··· WordPress 6.3 Beta 3 ···
Beta 3 has now been launched on July 3rd. Everyone is invited to test it and provide feedback to the core team. The release team scheduled a new live product demo for Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 16:00 UTC, so mark the spot in your calendar.

Hosting Team Time
:community: ··· Meeting Update Proposal ···
Both @javiercasares and @Crixu talked about how we can get more interactions during our meetings while also get work of the team done together. We have a new proposal in place to change the rhythm of our meeting schedule to only have 1 weekly meeting and one weekly office hours. Those office hours can be used to work together on various of our open tickets, answer questions around contributing to the team or prepare for a contributor day.
Proposal: #168
🗓️ ··· Upcoming 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 and for first arrivers.
☁️ ··· 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.
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.
NOTE: This last link, maybe we can adapt it and include it into our test Handbook page.
📄 ··· WordPress Hosting Directory ···
As we discussed some time ago, the Bedrock project is temporarily stopped as initially planned (to put it in the /hosting), but the project continues to create a pilot demo in which to start collecting data.
After the first demos / tests (non-functional) in https://www.wphosting.team/provider/, over the coming weeks @glycymeris and @javiercasares are going to work on something more functional and something more advanced than that simple form, probably with ACF and some other tools, creating both the backend and the frontend so that everything can be executed publicly.
If anyone wants to participate in the pilot project, please comment it, and we can tell you when we have something started, so we can test, collect ideas or whatever.
Open Floor
Ok, if nothing else, let’s move on to 🤖 Open Floor. Folks are welcome to bring any topic up for discussion at this time.
Why not sharing what's new in your part of the WordPress world? Any new WordCamps, achievements or things worth to celebrate?
Next meeting
⏰ Here are the team's upcoming meetings:
📌 Okay, we're out of time for today, let's close out this meeting.
You are welcome to continue the conversation here in the #hosting channel or on Make/Hosting, at any time.
Thank you all for joining and for your contributions to WordPress!
See you at the next Hosting Team weekly meeting! [/meeting]
