Hallway Hangout: Performance Improvements for WordPress 6.2

Following up on the prior hallway hangout on Performance Considerations for Block Themes, @flixos90 and I are running an additional one on performance improvements in WordPress 6.2. @flixos90 is the performance lead for the WordPress 6.2 release (a new role!) and this is a chance to get a more behind the scenes look at what’s to come.

If you’re interested in joining, the Hallway Hangout will happen on 2023-02-13 16:00. a Zoom link will be shared in the #core-performance Slack channel before starting.

At a high level, we’ll go through quick intros (what each person does/focuses on) and what performance work has been done with WordPress 6.2, with a likely specific focus on enhancements to theme.json. Ultimately, 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.

Noting this specifically for folks who have expressed interest previously or who are involved directly in this work, despite some of you going to WC Asia! cc @hellofromtonya @aristath @oandregal @tweetythierry @desrosj @youknowriad @spacedmonkey @adamsilverstein
