In the News WordPress.org was in the news again. This time there was a lot of confusion about WordPress rejecting plugin submissions with the WP prefix. They said this was to address potential trademark abuse. As you can imagine, this sparked some interesting debate (read: controversy) on Twitter and Slack channels. This information ended up being misinterpreted as WPSteward reported, but it generated responses across the entire Community in record time. People legitimately freaked out because of how the information from WordPress.org has been handled in the past. We all have kind of felt this. There has been a track record for this type of communication and folks generally feel as though they are not being heard. Sarah Gooding over at WPTavern and Jeff Chandler over at WPMainline went into further detail about how this was “making mountains over molehills”. Go check their articles out for different perspectives on this news flash. This is also time for a joke. Like what happens when two train conductors walk into bar…ok. Gutenberg keeps chugging right along with the roadmap to WordPress 5.9 and Gutenberg 11.3. Birgit Pauli-Haack and Grzegorz Ziolkowski discuss the preliminary roadmap on the 50th episode of the Gutenberg Times Changelog podcast. Congratulations on number 50! As more and more of us are being asked to pay attention to the changes in the Block Editor in Gutenberg, go check out what Iian Poulson writes. He sees the negative talk turning into more optimism. There is a great long post for developers over at Delicious Brains to review. Getting back to business Immerseus founder Jack Kitterhing tweeted that Immerseus had been acquired in full. His eight-month-old company generated $100k in sales from apparently a single Facebook group marketing channel…and he has a day job…and like 5 other products. I think I should have him on the Matt Report to give us the map to this gold mine… Events WordPress meets education at WPCampus online September 21 and 22nd. Although the conference is advertised for Web Accessibility, go and check out the schedule. There are many panel discussions and general lectures that can help you in your agency. The second annual WPMRR (WP Monthy Recurring Revenue) Virtual Summit will run online-only this year from September 21 – 23. Joe Howard is hosting the event alongside guest host Brian Richards, the organizer behind WordSesh and WooSesh. Justin Tadlock covers all the details over on WPTavern.

This week's WordPress news - Covering The Week Commencing 17th May 2021

In this episode of Post Status Excerpt, Cory Miller recommends three books with great value to the WordPress community and people who make their living as professionals in it. From the business value of community itself to marketing fundamentals and how to avoid being a perfectionist, Cory explains why he thinks these books stand out. Cory also tells us how he reads "like a vampire."

In this episode, I recap my experience and thoughts of WordCamp Atlanta and talk about WordSesh 2019. I also answer the following questions: What are some recommended PHP design patterns that are useful for WordPress theme and plugin development? How important is blogging in developing WordPress skill-competence?

In this episode, I talk a little bit about what's been going on regarding my current work in the WordPress economy, a heads up on WordSesh, and I answer the following question: I noticed that you and some other WordPress developers tweet about code review of each other code. I'm interesting are you working as freelancers on the same project or different one? Are you asking each other to check your code or it's a requirement from the client? Who is paying for code review? Oh! And for those of you who are fans of rock and roll, I talk about a trip I took a couple of weeks ago to Tupelo, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee if for no other reason than just the fun of it. I hope that's alright with you.

Brian Richards is officially the first repeat guest on the show, and this time around he’s talking about his online conferences, WordSesh and WooSesh.

With so many WordCamps and new WordPress meetups cropping up it's hard to decide where to spend your frequent flyer miles. But, what if you don't have to leave your couch? By day Scott Basgaard serves happiness at WooThemes — by night he's bringing the entire world together in a 24 hour marathon of WordPress sessions on WordSesh.org. Pretty darn amazing if you ask me. Let's dive in!

But that's not the only thing we're going to learn about. Scott's a bit of a WordPress career globetrotter. He's going to share his story about finding that first gig, to working at one of the largest growing WordPress companies — two of them. “If you feel like everyday, you don't enjoy what you're doing, you need to make a change.” — Scott Basgaard Something I didn't know going into the interview, Scott also worked for a large media site in the corporate world. It paid well and he learned a lot, but it wasn't making him happy. If you're just starting out, it's important you know what you're capable of and the value you bring to the table. A worldwide entrepreneur I think Scott's goal is tremendous. He's putting together a global audience in a format we've never seen before. Producing something like this on such a scale and have it launch for the first time with very little blunder is an accomplishment on it's own. Overtime, WordSesh will be one of the WordPress events to attend. What do you think? Did you like this interview?
