<h2>3️⃣ I’m not sure where to start, but I want to contribute to Drupal Canvas.</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>svendecabooter</td>
<td>What would be the best approach to help with the multilingual support?Just follow[#3571130] and try to review some issues?I don't think I'm familiar enough with Canvas to just jump in and work on some subtasks without guidance, especially if it's deep-down architectural stuff</td>

<h2>4️⃣ Wins - What wins have you had since the last meeting? Share your successes!</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Tony</td>
<td>First time really building components intended for Canvas the last couple of weeks. The editing experience exceeds my expectations. What a tremendous feat of engineering. Thank you to everyone involved in getting it to this point.</td>

<h2>5️⃣ Weekly updates - What have you been working on? What’s up next? Need assistance with anything? Any blockers?</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Andy Marquis</td>
<td>Are there any instructions in the works for integrating custom field types to link in content templates? I know there are examples but my need is a bit more complex as I want to integrate my custom_field module and the properties are dynamic. Is this even possible through some sort of <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/canvas/issues/3563960">DynamicPropSource</a> adaptation? I’m not sure exactly where to begin exploration around making this happen and a few of my users are asking for it. Thanks</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Andy Marquis</td>
<td>I’m thinking maybe i can create a schema for all the sub-field types and maybe there’s a way to adapt each property to its type in the schema? I may be asking for api functionality that isn’t in yet but thought I’d ask.</td>
</tr>

<h2>6️⃣ Review previous meeting minutes</h2>
<table>
<tr>

</tr>
<tr>
<td>svendecabooter</td>
<td>+1 for a roadmap...We have a few things we'd like to see in Canvas before actively using it (multilingual support / slot restrictions / ...) but find it difficult to get a clear view of when those features would get some attention</td>
</tr>
</table>
<h2>8️⃣ :question: Are people still finding these useful?</h2>
<table>
<tr>
<td>hestenet (he/him)</td>
<td>(I like being able to lurk and see updates, but that's not enough by itself 🙂 )</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>pameeela</td>
<td>Without participation from folks on the Canvas team, it doesn't seem super useful</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>svendecabooter</td>
<td>I'm trying to follow these to be able to track the high level process on Canvas, but based on only these meetings it seems not a lot is moving :stuck_out_tongue:So I think there's a lot going on that's not really discussed / updated here?</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hestenet (he/him)</td>
<td>Yeah. I think a ton of stuff is happening that isn't brought back in here. @lauriii any thoughts? Guessing the folks on your end don't have time to participate in these meetings? Which is fine, and maybe means @smustgrave should just cancel. That's okay if we want. The missed opportunity would be having it as an entry point for other people to jump and and help, or provide feedback.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>smustgrave</td>
<td>I also pinged @griffynh just now too if we should keep these.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>smustgrave</td>
<td>Will say the channel itself is very active though</td>
</tr>
