BuddyPress #2.1 Beta 1’s just…

BuddyPress #2.1 Beta 1’s just been released; read the post on BuddyPress.org for details.

Quick #2.1 update: we’re still…

Quick #2.1 update: we’re still scoping out the big-ticket items for 2.1, and should have more to confirm on in the next week or so, but as of yesterday (May 14th), the 2.1 dev cycle has formally kicked off. Here are the dates for this release’s milestones that we agreed on:

1) “merge” deadline (when major features should be in): July 9th 2014
2) beta: August 6th 2014
3) release: August 27th 2014

If you’re looking to get involved and contribute to BuddyPress, or just learn a bit more about what that entails, I’ll be posting a recap on this blog within the next week, with some easy and productive ways you can help us build and support BuddyPress 2.1.

Grunt coming to BuddyPress after 2.0 release

Shortly after BuddyPress 2.0 is released, we’re going to be updating BuddyPress’ development trunk (buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk) to a Grunt-powered build system. Most people won’t even notice, but for developers and contributors, this means a small workflow change.

TL;DR – keep reading if:

• You develop plugins for BuddyPress
• You are a core contributor
• You run a checkout of trunk on a production site

You should go read @boonebgorges‘ metadata changes post if you haven’t already, and rejoice in the news that the *.BuddyPress.org themes have been open sourced.

Fact of the day: eight years ago today marks the date when the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter attained Martian orbit. It’s still out there today, doing wonderful Marsy things.
