Anyone liking/hating the Attachments updates? Would love some reviews! d.pr/8KHy #WordPress

Attachments allows you to simply append any number of items from your WordPress Media Library to Posts, Pages, and Custom Post Types. This plugin does not directly interact with your theme, you will need to edit your template files.

WordPress 3.5 “Elvin” is here
Damon
If you haven’t already updated your site then get to it! WP518 just updated and I’m loving that shiny, new media uploader. I just wanna keep drag n’ dropping files into it, and into it…
Also, we’ve transitioned from WP Super Cache to Quick Cache, because I’ve noticed a significant speed increase on this MediaTemple Dedicated Virtual hosting configuration.
I wasn’t able to lend a hand this time around to the amazing team of contributors, but I highly recommend you try and help with some Codex updates: https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2012/11/27/if-all-goes-to-plan-wordpress-3-5-will/ This is a great, simple way to help the community.

Yay for 3.5! That link has a list of documentation that needs help so you don’t even have to decide where to start, you can just jump in.

WP518 Dec 2012 WordPress Meetup – What’s New in 3.5
designsimply
Meetup Summary
The December meetup consisted of introductions, a presentation by Damon Cook with a comprehensive look at what’s new in WordPress 3.5, a couple video demos of new features, and a great group chat about 3.5, plugins, and WordPress projects people are working on. One person asked whether you should wait to install WordPress after it is released or not. WordPress is tested pretty extensively before each major release, but there’s always the chance of a problem with a plugin or theme when upgrading. You should make sure to backup before starting, and to be safe you can turn off all plugins, upgrade, and then turn each plugin back on one-by-one to test for issues as you go. That’s for production sites. As a part of the local WordPress group, you should totally be downloading WordPress and testing locally even before the new release is out! There was lots of good Q&A and chat after the talk, and I think everyone had a good time. Yay!
Zone 5 is a communications agency with offices in NY and CA and expertise with marketing and design for higher education, renewable energy, semiconductors, healthcare, economic development, and financial services sectors.Thank you Zone 5 for hosting the Dec 2012 WordPress meetup!

It sounded like there was enough interest in learning how to install WordPress locally for testing that we should do a talk about that. We’re on the look out for our next speaker, so please contact us if you’re interested in talking about installing WordPress locally or anything else WordPress-related!

Blain Smith posted a great article about how to setup your local dev environment with a real domain name: Quick and Dirty Local Domain Names for MAMP. It makes moving a site from staging to production so much easier!
To go from there to also setting up WordPress locally, start with Step 3 at http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_Locally_on_Your_Mac_With_MAMP

WP518 Nov 2012 WordPress Meetup—Contributing to WordPress
designsimply
Meetup summary: introductions followed by a (mostly) short presentation by Sheri Bigelow (that’s me!) about Contributing to WordPress. Then we talked about tools for installing WordPress locally for testing and staging, what things each person would like to do next with WordPress, and brainstormed ideas about how to get workplaces to also contribute back to WordPress core (i.e. donate a small portion of developer time, or if they can’t to that perhaps host a meetup if they have a suitable space). My take on it is that WordPress is a gift—you don’t have to contribute back to it, but if you do, that effort will benefit you (and your company) in good ways.Jetpack 2.0—it’s amazing. I gave a sneak peek into what’s getting released in version 2.0 tomorrow. It has some seriously cool features!
Focus on being great at what you do and what you are passionate about.
Watched the revisions “Matrix” Easter Egg together. Ha!
We talked about the wp518.org domain and whether to keep a separate site in addition to our presence on meetup.com. There was a consensus that we should keep both. Meetup.com can be solely for meeting details while wp518.org should have more posts about WordPress in general.
We also decided we should post next month’s meetup details as soon as possible after the current one. It will be a good way to “close” out the meeting, so we will ask for topic ideas, speaker volunteers, and venue/sponsorships at the end of each meeting.
Overheard at the end of the meetup: “this is the kind of group I’ve been looking for.” You don’t know how awesome that is to hear!
Location: Mochalisa’s Caffe, 22 Clifton Country Rd, Clifton Park, NY
Attendees: Damon Cook, Sheri Bigelow, Mike Hosier, Ethan Georgi, Leon Shelhamer, and JR Tashjian. -
