Who's going to be in DrupalCon Prague?

Is this meeting still productive/needed enough to be weekly? Seems things have slowed considerably since olivero/claro went stable.

I would like to open 2 threads for the toolbar so we can properly organize each meeting

ckrina
1. Toolbar short-term design changes (needs design-a11y agreement)

ckrina
2. Toolbar redesign/replacement (design-IA-UX related)

Not too much on the Olivero side, but I've been doing some reviews helping to rid core of IE cruft. I've also been helping out test new Twig filters

ckrina
@mherchel what’s the CSS modernization status? Do you think we could organize some work around it maybe?

Anyone have thoughts on this? I need to take a look at it, but likely won't have time because of travel preparations https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3308309
Simplify the HTML of field.html.twig

mherchel
Would love to get reviews on @matthieu’s work on https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3301853
This new filter is really cool. I need to make time to review, but once again, travel prep and work is taking up the majority of my time :sweat_smile:
Create twig filters: |add_class, |remove_class, and |set_attribute

javi-er
https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3082672 needs another review if anyone wants to take a look.
