   Notes from Feb 20, 2026

   ### **GatherPress 0.34 Development Progress**

   * Major venue block rebuild with new UI, online event toggle, and hybrid support
   * Event query block replacing limited event list block with full customization
   * New tooltip feature across all blocks
   * 100% unit test coverage maintained, end-to-end testing needs contributors

   ### [**WordPress.org**](http://wordpress.org/) **Integration Blocked**

   * Meta team capacity constraints stalling 2-year integration effort
   * Missing scope definition: multisite vs single-site, custom UI vs full admin access
   * Need video call with Dion for decision on platform approach

   ### **Student Contribution Strategy**

   * Moving pathways document from Google Docs to GitHub for 200-300 students
   * Recommended path: test issues → test PRs → work milestone 0.34 → development
   * Current needs: testing, documentation, issue refinement

   ### **Upcoming Events**

   * AI abilities talk March 3rd at Montclair (10 RSVPs, needs promotion)
   * Syracuse Campus Connect missed due to sabbatical timing

   ### **Next Steps**

   * Patricia: Write integration status summary (1 week)
   * Mike: Complete 0.34 PR and migration tool
   * Velda: Move pathways to GitHub, add Shane to documentation
   * All: Promote March 3rd talk via LinkedIn reposts
