Add Developer Hours recordings to the site

[bph]

The Developer Hours are well attended bi-monthly events covering current WordPress development topics. They are announced via Meetup and the recordings are uploaded to the WordPress YouTube channel.

Often the Developer Hours cover topics that also have been written about on blog posts, and it would be beneficial to the readers of the Developer blog to also have access to the Developer Hours recordings, transcript and shared resources. We would reach a whole new group of developers who rather learn to watch a video then follow along on a blog post. And occasionally, it helps with processing dense technical material when it is explained a few more times in different ways.

If you are not familiar with the Developer Hours

• An hour-long session with educational presentation and live Q & A in chat often hosted by Nick Diego, Ryan Welcher, myself and Justin Tadlock. Presenters are mostly also among the group. There are efforts to bring in more experts from the community on board.
• Between 50 and 90 people during the live event and between 1,200 and 7,300 views of the recordings,depending on the topic.
• The next live Developer Hours session is scheduled for June 25 at 15:00 UTC Developer Hours: What's new for theme developers in WordPress 6.6
• There is a playlist of the last 24 sessions available on YouTube

Proposed implementation:

• Create a new Custom Post Type with single post and archive page templates and add them to the normal post feed.
• Each Developer hours will get its individual page with YouTube video embed, shared resources posted and transcript added + Featured image, that is used for the Archive page.
• The Archive page lists each post with title, features image and date.
• As author we would use the main presenter's name.

This was approved during July meeting of the Editorial Group
