General points

The team discussed the following topics (documents / proposals)

Team news

We are still urgently seeking to recruit two new team members, an Operations and Marketing Coordinator and a Platform Developer.
These positions were posted in the May issue of the Joomla Community Magazine (JCM), community openings article:-
https://magazine.joomla.org/all-issues/may-2021/community-openings-may-2021 
So far we have not received any reactions. If you're interested or know someone suitable please contact us (or me directly).

Operations and Marketing

There are no other updates from the Operations and Marketing team (mainly due to the lack of exams).

Website and Exam platform

Shika: (new exam platform

At this point in time we have not found any 'show stoppers' with Shika itself, but have some problems with the question management component. We need a Platform Developer to help us with this, as mentioned above, the position has been shared in the May issue of the JCM (see above).

Exam(s)

J!3 exam update and/or J!4 exam?

The QMS itself has been adapted and is now being tested by our two new Exam Maintainers (EM's).
With the release of the J!4 release candidate(s) we are discussing on whether to now focus on the J!4 version of the Administration exam instead of updating the J!3 version. Once a decision has been made we will update this report
