I'd like to add a note that due to various contributors not being available last Thursday, we'll be hosting dev-squad triage this Thursday instead.

We have an online workshop scheduled called "Get to Know the Training Team's Guide Program" – please share with your networks, and if you're interested in becoming a Guide (or being guided yourself) come check it out! It will be recorded for those who can't attend live.

I've published a new page in the Resources section of the handbook called Video Best Practices, which replaces the previous video and sound information in the Creating a lesson page.

Please feel free to share any feedback about the new guide, which is intended as a starting point to help content creators create good quality video recordings for lessons on Learn.WordPress.org.

Related to the online workshop "Get to Know the Training Team’s Guide Program" that I mentioned above, I've published a post encouraging people to apply to become a Guide, and inviting folks to sign up for the online workshop. Please feel free to share the post!
