    Weekly project meeting changed to 21:00 UTC starting Nov. 16 

    Normally the timing of the weekly project meeting IRC chat will not change with daylight savings changes, as it is anchored to 16:00 UTC. However, it also becomes an opportune time to adjust the time to better fit schedules for the core team and our most active contributors.

    We’re going return to 21:00 UTC time. This is morning in Australia, afternoon in the U.S., late evening in the U.K. It will be nice to see @dd32 at our chats again. :-)

    Today we’ll meet at 17:00 (now) and we’ll start with 21:00 next week.

    A number of us are doing daily bug scrubs (triage sessions) and 3.3 status checks (typically spontaneous and generally occurring in the U.S. afternoon), so we’ll see you around!

      Fantastic! I had to stop coming when it moved to 3am-4am Australia time. Looks like it’ll now be 8am, so I can come again :)

      Looks like my good old 3am excuse is out the window again… Anyone in Mid-russia want a new flatmate for the next 6 months? ;)

      1am for me. A bit late, but bearable.

      Congrats nacin, I’d just like to say that working with you over the past while has shown me that you’re well deserving of access.

      Nacin has always taken any advice related to patches into consideration, and consistently seems to come out on top with clean patches with minimal issue.

      Congrats, Now go break something :P

      Thanks all for the congrats and kind words. Bit of a shock at first, but it should be a fun ride.

      Someone start the countdown to my first use of svn revert :)

      Congrats @nacin!

      Is there a page somewhere that lists all of the members of the commit team?

      • DD32 7:58 am on February 17, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Only really the sidebar here: http://wordpress.org/about/ – Which doesnt Mention me or nacin :)

        • Andrew Nacin 8:09 am on February 17, 2010 Permalink

          Or Ron or Donncha… :)

        • Jane Wells 5:54 pm on February 17, 2010 Permalink

          The sidebar lists lead developers, not commit access. They used to be one and the same, but the recent addition of more people with commit privs is meant to change that conflation. When we redesign wordpress.org later this year (hopefully starting soonish), I’d like to change the way that info is displayed so we can call out a number of different heavy contributor types (commit privs, forum mods, etc).

        • DD32 9:40 pm on February 17, 2010 Permalink

          Thats pretty much what i assumed Jane, That since there was no real “correct location” for us, that we werent listed anywhere yet. In the redesign, It’d probably be worth to do a biographical page for the lead developers, and possibly others to give a more personal touch to who is behind it.

        • Jane Wells 9:43 pm on February 17, 2010 Permalink

          @DD32: In meantime, Matt added you guys under Contributing Developers. Doesn’t differentiate commit access, but we can get there in redesign. I’m thinking we can start working on that toward the end of March.

        • DD32 9:50 pm on February 17, 2010 Permalink

          I noticed that :) (Thanks Matt), Its nice to have the names at least listed somewhere.

      Couldn’t happen to a better more productive guy. Grats Nacin

      I would like to become a member of the core commit group. How can I?

      • Jane Wells 6:37 pm on February 20, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Start submitting patches as well as testing other people’s patches and reporting on them on Trac. Prove your skill, work well with others and build the trust of the core team. There are only a couple of committers out of hundreds of contributing developers…it’s basically a recognition of one’s contribution and commitment to the best interests of the WordPress open source project.

      • Alex M. 1:47 am on February 21, 2010 Permalink | Reply

        Some of the project’s best contributors don’t have commit access. As Jane said, don’t think that just because you don’t have commit access doesn’t mean you can’t contribute. :)

      Thanks for the response, Jane. I have been doing as you said and will continue to do so. WordPress is great and I love contributing to it’s growth and evolution.
