Hello, I am Javier Casares, and today I am here leading this meeting. If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to ask. At the end of the agenda, we have an open time to discuss anything else you want about the team's projects.
Agenda
🟢 Here is the agenda for this meeting
[…] Use the agenda above […]
Would anyone like to add to or change any items on the agenda?
OK, let's get started with the WordPress Community news.
WordPress Community
🟢 WordPress Core news
For those who don't know PCP, it is a plugin that checks "other plugins" you have installed. This is focused on the developers of your plugins themselves.
One of the things it does is to review some Security and PHP Coding Standard elements, so if you have any plugin in your company, it is good that you take a look at it to see if you can improve something in compatibility and security.
Ok, let's move on to Hosting Team time.
Hosting Team Time!
🟢 WordPress 6.6 Server Compatibility
Although we are already looking forward to preparing the post about WordPress 6.7 ;), remember that if you have doubts or questions about hosting compatibility with PHP or other services (web server, cache, etc.) you have this post where we explain everything about compatibility.
If you think something is missing, or you would like to have additional information for WordPress 6.7, please let us know and we will include it.
You also have everything much more detailed in the Server Environment section of the handbook.
🟢 PHP 8.4
Roadmap (maybe not 100% exact) for PHP 8.4 / WordPress:
Did you do some tests related to PHP 8.4?
(@javiercasares personal note) I've been testing WordPress 6.7 with PHP 8.4 over Ubuntu 24, and everything looks fine. There are some warnings and notices, but haven't got any big problems (I was testing a plugin, not the whole WordPress core).
As on previous occasions, when a new version of PHP is coming, WordPress is working hard to try to achieve the maximum possible compatibility and, above all, to avoid errors (although we maintain some compatibility warnings and notices until we can correct everything 100%).
If it works for you, remember that you can contribute in the ticket or in each of the open subtasks for each of the cases.
🟢 Create connections between Performance Team and Hosts
This post offers a proposal to create a private slack channel #performance-hosting where members of both the Performance Team and relevant representatives from hosting companies can come together to share information impacting the performance of sites.
They can test relevant PRs, and have a quick feedback loop for any performance regressions in new releases.
This builds on the current private #security-hosting channel that’s already in place and has proven to be an area of collaboration.
Please read and leave a comment on the comments.
Hosting Team To-Do
🟢 Hosting / Test badges
Are "bots" and their maintainers Test contributors? Some days ago we opened a discussion: #241. We started now to reach out to the core test team and invited them to join the discussions.
Next Steps:
We will review everything ina few weeks.
🟢 Hosting Directory Plugin
The work slowed down after WordCamp Europe, but we continue to strive for a first documentation on how the plugin should look and work like. Once we have some clearer ideas on how to continue, we can also start discussions about resources and the team. We already started to layout some groundwork on how it might work:

🟢 Sustainability page in the Handbook
The #sustainability team published their teams roadmap for 2024: WP Sustainability Team Roadmap 2024
This roadmap includes guidelines for making WordPress websites more sustainable, where we as the hosting team can play a considerable role by providing a sustainable hosting infrastructure to all customers.
Surely, the simplest one is to use clean energy, and somehow be able to document it and make it accessible, with reports or whatever.
Apart from this, which is the most obvious thing, what documentation do you think we should suggest to suppliers to implement progressively?
Ideas, and whatever at the handbook Issue: Sustainability Page for Hosting Handbook
🟩 Open Floor
Ok, if nothing else, let's move on to the Open Floor. You are welcome to bring any topic up for discussion at this time.
…
Closing
As a reminder for the next meetings / weeks, here are the dates and times (in UTC). DST is approaching, but remember that this team does not change the times of the meetings as they are always in universal time (which every year changing it was a mess).
🟩 Meeting Times
Goodbye
That wraps up today's meeting. Please keep in mind, our discussions can continue in the #hosting Slack channel or on Make/Hosting anytime.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your week! [/meeting]
