# Community Call Agenda: 2024-04-02   Welcome! ## How to keep on top of events - [Astro Community Google Calendar](https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_g6re3u5gkl0mug3ktn1dibqhfk%40group.calendar.google.com) - never miss an event! - opt in to `@notify-events` (and/or `-updates` for releases, `-announcements` for general announcements) - Also all calendar entries available in the Discord Events sidebar. Click "interested" to be notified on a per-event basis. ## Core Update - Matthew or Ben    - Review some recent PRs: - PR 10612 codebase documentation around runtime (community onboarding) to make it easier for people to contribute! - PR 10624 performance improvement of child rendering: function(closure) vs classes (we have a way to run benchmarks in PRs?!!) - PR 10600 improves messaging when renaming a table (yay! So much error message focus!) - PR 10636 another improvement for astrodb error messages - PR 10585 fix/drop preact workaround, which modified their vite plugin and did some manual linking (using react components in preact projects).
