The full chat log is available beginning here on Slack.
There wasn’t much to discuss on performance tickets for the upcoming 6.8 release, since it is coming out next week.
The team discussed the recently announced slowing major release cadence and how that might impact the team’s work. While this means we will have more time to land new features in 6.9, @swissspidy pointed out what “with more time between releases it becomes even more important to keep an eye on any performance regressions over time”. He plans to work to better document the existing tools we have that help address that. He also pointed out that plugins become more important, so we might want to build more Performance Lab plugins going forward.
With many countries having shifted their time 1 hour in the last few weeks, the team discussed and emoji-voted on whether to move our meeting time to match. The decision was to change the time from 4pm UTC to 3pm UTC. The time at https://make.wordpress.org/meetings/ was adjusted to reflect this change. The same one hour shift was made to the timing of our bug scrubs as well.
Our next chat will be held on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at 15:00 UTC in the #core-performance channel in Slack.
