Overview

WordPress 6.1 release squad members will join contributors from #core and the broader WordPress community to conduct an informal preview of the major features in the upcoming release. This Zoom event will include discussion on the new features, resolved tickets, potential blockers, and other topics in a live, public manner.

After the success of the inaugural 6.0 walk-through, this and future releases can expect to see this as a new part of the release cycle.

It’s a fun and simple way to bring more people from the community into the release cycle activities, and preview elements from the upcoming release ahead of the release date. It is also an excellent opportunity to foster open and transparent communication and connect various members, groups, and stakeholders from the WordPress community.

Event attendance is open to the general public, and it will be recorded.

I’m very excited about this event. It should be a great opportunity to see some of the new things that are soon to debut. A big thank you to all the panelists for volunteering their time toward this event.

I joined a few minutes early, and was promptly kicked out because the presenters were using the webinar to chat with each other and prepare for the session. When I tried to rejoin at the official start, I was unable due to having previously been kicked out.
Next time, please use a Waiting Room or have presenters prepare for the session somewhere else. :/

Was this walkthrough recorded? If yes, where could I find it?

I was also kicked out of the webinar because I had joined a little bit early. It was a bad experience and would be nice if the walkthroughs in the future could be improved.
e.g. create a waiting room, lock the room before start time, etc.
And also would like to see the recording if it has any plans to be open in the near future.
