After an initial kick off call    • Uniting WordPress YouTubers: kickoff ...  , another crew of folks joined in on the fun for round two where we had a special guest join us: Aaron Jorbin, a long time core committer. We talked about the WordPress philosophy https://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/, how decisions are made about what to bring into Core, and more in a Q&A session with Aaron. From there, we dove into feedback folks have from their viewers and own lived experience before closing to briefly talk about the news of Jamie Marsland joining Automattic as a sponsored WordPress contributor as Head of WordPress.org YouTube: https://make.wordpress.org/project/20... We'll have an in person meetup at WCUS as well, which we discussed off the recording to protect privacy. Full notes are posted here: https://nomad.blog/2024/08/20/uniting...
