Meeting started by explaining Note takers and Facilitators so people can take up the roles.
Note takers are simply people who summarize the happening of the Test Chat and they always publish a test Chat summary like this one here.
Facilitators are simply people that chair or facilitate a test team chat. These follow the agenda that is proposed and ensure that every one gets a voice. A sample Meeting is like the one held here.
These 2 can be done by the same person in the same instant however we encourage multiple people to do it to increase on the proof reading and collaboration
Update on Test Handbook: New pages for Feature & Enhancement Testing (#90), E2E Testing (#91), and Patch Testing Scrubs (#92) are available; contributors can update content via GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

@sirlouen got to a conclusion that currently we don’t have enough resources to have the wheel moving
all the areas mentioned above require a good thought and a suggestion to expand the team was brought up.
Previously, mentorship was insufficient so now a full training was advised. A program in the test team that will bring in Champions
A call for as many people as possible was made. People that will be committed to the program and see it through
@nikunj8866 sighted it as a great learning opportunity for anyone who wants to become a future Test Team representative.
@sirlouen added that it won’t only make team reps but also Power Members.
@sirlouen will pause current Handbook activity in preparation for the program in the next 2 weeks. Announcement made here highlighting the requirements to join and all the information about the program.

@sirlouen recommended adding an emoji like this if you are going to be doing the testing report.
This helps for quick assignment of tasks and getting them cleared quickly.
Here people get a chance to know the tests required and even do them without having to wait for a Patch-testing session.
Infact this could also end the patch testing sessions when the new training is implemented
We usually have 2 meetings held every week. This is the last test-chat meeting for this year and Tomorrow’s patch testing session will be the last for this year.
