Following up on the prior performance related Hallway Hangout: Performance End of Year Review 2023 in December, @flixos90 @joemcgill and @clarkeemily will be co-hosting an upcoming hallway hangout to review the work and impact of the performance team in 2024, and look ahead to performance improvements in WordPress for 2025.
If you’re interested in joining, the Hallway Hangout will happen on 2024-12-17 16:00 UTC a Google Meet link will be shared in the #core-performance Slack channel before starting.
At a high level, we will go through quick intros (what each person does/focuses on) before reviewing the major landings of the Performance team in 2024 and a look ahead to 2025.
As a reminder, hallway hangouts are meant to be casual and collaborative so come prepared with a kind, curious mind along with any questions or items you want to discuss around this important area of the project, especially since the agenda is intentionally loose to allow for it.
