<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/flixos90/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>flixos90</a> The only news on enhancing the onboarding experience is that we’re going to ask attendees at the Google booth at WCUS to give Performance Lab a spin. We hope that from there we get a diverse list of people, especially including ones that have not used the plugin before. That should help us get some idea on what people consider pain points in the onboarding process.</li>

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/swissspidy/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>swissspidy</a> Performance chat sometimes clashes with release parties (like today). Should we consider moving the meeting on those occasions? e.g. by +1 hour or so. Or not a big deal?
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/joemcgill/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>joemcgill</a> I’m unsure how many of the release parties for this major release will happen at the usual time, given the timezone makeup of the team. I think <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/peterwilsoncc/" class="mention"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>peterwilsoncc</a> was planning on publishing a schedule for betas/RCs soon. Perhaps something to consider after that?</li>
