General Updates
Team leaders are requested to update their plone.org team pages.
Some team leaders had to cancel last minute, so we are missing their reports.
Zope - Michael
Testing Zope dependencies on Python 3.11: Slow progress, as extensions with C code require changes.
We had a pull request on Zope codebase, from a developer that refused to sign the contributor agreement -- forcing us to re-implement the PR.
A quick discussion about the Contributor Agreement followed: We need to improve the process (maybe digital signature)
Sprints: Gocept will host a one-day sprint on April 13th
Membership Team - Victor
Evaluating the first batch of candidates, with a Board recommendation coming this week.
Already have second a batch, but we are looking for more candidates.
Also, we need to improve the reasoning to get people to nominate themselves.
AI Team - Fred
Fixed the recent issue with Jenkins.
Need to fix mail settings for Foundation domains
Marketing - Rikupekka
Next Plone.org sprint: February 18th, 19th
World Plone Day: End of April, talk submissions, 24h streaming marathon, pre-recorded, live presentations
- Content does not need to be so well prepared
- Could be informal, related to Plone / Zope
- Success Stories
- Technical
Framework Team - Alessandro
Not much happened, 1 new PLIP in the work (plone.app.linkintegrity)
Cleanup of PLIP Board
Soon we will have PLIPS about ES6, thanks to Hannes and Maik: Webpack module federation (To be merged intoPlone 6, alpha 4)
GSOC - Eric
We are supposed to finalize the application next week, still analysing the current ideas.
We need mentors
Internatonalization - Mikel
Opened a topic in community.plone.org about moving from .po files to a web-based tool, but no traction: Leave the translation story as it is.
Make a call for translators for Plone 6
- Volto: Only 4 languages over 90%
- Classic UI: No change since 5.2
Improve documentation explaining how to contribute.
Release - Maurits
Eric Steele is leading a Plone 6 planning meeting every 2 weeks
Plone 6.0.0a4: End of month
Security - Maurits
One release update 5.2.6
Team has one new member, focusing on Javascript.
Volto - Victor
Question from the community: Will Plone6/Volto ship with a layout/columns solution out of the box?
It's on the radar, but not pushing for that, same for teasers, and the form block and content rules.
Volto 15: Small release, already on Alpha 4. Easy to upgrade from 14 to 15.
Volto 16: Slate will be on it. EEA will move the volto-slate repo to the Plone organization on Github.
Documentation: Adapting the documentation to myst, soon docs.voltocms.com will redirect to 6.dev-docs.plone.org

Started the conference planning
We have a tentative agreement for SFU ago provide LoudSwarm if we need it in exchange for sponsorship in kind.
