The link to Ronald's profile has a mistake, the correct link is: @just2ronald

Thanks, @OlaIola fixed the profile.

Discussion regarding the videos on WPTV:

The WP.tv team only has 7 videos with them.

Link to Nisha's message stating that they have only 7 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C037W5MBT/p1627556513236300

I did speak to Dan in Aug 2021 on BOH slack about WordCamp London 2019 videos as Leo did not respond to my message on WP slack.

Dan had confirmed that he also has access to only 6 videos post the event.

Dan was to follow up with Leo. I will re-follow up with Dan today and update by Wednesday 3rd Nov 2021.

@nalininsbs or @OlaIola or @abhansnuk please can someone send me a screenshot of the quote box issue.

Ronald's POW looks fine at my end. Hence wondering what I need to fix.

[abhansnuk]

I fixed the items before it published. Thanks @meherbala . We may need to look at the issue next month and raise a ticket if necessary.

Link to series from Josepha's latest Podcast to be swapped to Interview category to have the full list of People of WordPress features. Chloe will update the post. In reply, she re-confirmed the plan on category updates is still current:

• for People of WordPress posts, the category 'Interview' will be used as primary. This is following discussion and research for search and for clarity
• posts are to be updated to 'Interview' as primary, new posts in last months already are rather than 'HeroPress'. This helps identify the POW and HeroPress articles as different features (POW is inspired by the HeroPress post), reduce search issues when largely the same text, and reduces confusion with users asking marketing to update the HeroPress articles etc
• once published, the catgories 'community' and 'feature' to be added to the post
• in the actual post tag #HeroPress at the bottom of the feature itself
• a reusable block with the HeroPress text used in November to be updated in the CMS for easier use in the future

Link to Josepha's podcast post can be cross-linked from October's and November's POW stories.

Translation of the feature into Dutch:

• Ronald arranging from the published P2 post.

Wider for series:

• to follow up query with Meta/ polyglots how we can post cross-promote/ translators can add their translated versions.

In the post, one image (alt text: Portrait picture of Ronald Gijsel) does not come up for me on any browser. The other images appear perfectly. Is this happening for you as well @meherbala @abhansnuk ?
