Congratulations to Boone & Rebecca Gorges and big bro Wally on the birth of Wilhelmina last January 6th! Seconding what @rayisme declared, “(It’s) another successful commit by Boone.” 🙂

We’re pleased to announce two new members of the BuddyPress core team.
@tw2113 (Michael Beckwith) is a WordPress, BuddyPress, and bbPress core contributor and will continue his stellar work improving BP’s inline documentation among other tasks planned for this year. He is a Developer connected with WebDevStudios who loves Jelly Beans & 90’s alternative music.
@dcavins (David Cavins) is a core contributor to the WordPress and BuddyPress projects and has contributed to the BP Codex and Forums. He will be working on the new Invitations API for BP 2.3. David also owns Cavins Guitars and will give you a 10% discount if you mention “BuddyPress” when you purchase a guitar from his store 🙂
Congratulations @tw2113 and @dcavins!

I’ve uploaded the questionnaire to PollDaddy.com and a couple of questions may be deleted/replaced before launch.
The survey will be launched around two weeks after BuddyPress 2.2 is released.

@hnla mentioned that there will be another review of the Codex articles after the 2015 BP Survey is launched.
In the meantime, the articles and screenshots will be updated for the upcoming release of BP 2.2, among others. If you’d like to contribute screenshots using Twenty Fifteen in the front end, please leave a message in the comments below.

@ubernaut brought up an issue where the link/s to participate and contribute to the BuddyPress project was not clear/obvious to newcomers. The link for contributor participation is on the front page of the Codex but near the bottom of the page. Proposal has been made to add a link to the page in the bpdevel.wordpress.com sidebar.
@johnjamesjacoby noted that we basically need a make.buddypress.org network

BP RC 1 was scheduled to be released sometime after DevChat. @boonebgorges recommended that decisions be made on other pending tickets before beta version. Throughout that day and following days, patches were submitted and committed to core and many pending tickets were closed for the 2.2 beta.
@johnjamesjacoby announced the release of BuddyPress 2.2 Beta 1 for testing and feedback on Saturday, January 10th.
Tickets closed for the BP 2.2 cycle: 132 and counting.

Comments are closed.
