Community Roundup Week Ending January 26

Grants for LGBTQ+ Participation in WordPress Mentorship Program

The grants, sponsored by  Queeromattic, the collection of queers within Automattic, is open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. It’s a new initiative empowering this underrepresented group of folks to join the WordPress community with a goal toward participation, representation, and inclusivity.

Updates from the Incident Response Team

With all the recent discord in the WordPress community, the Incident Response Team has been busy.

This post (by Angela Jin) aims to answer questions, clear up some confusion, and encourage good citizenship within the WordPress community.

Please give it a read, and add any comments to that post or ask questions in the Make.WordPress Slack.
