Join me at WordCamp Europe June 2 through June 4, 2022. I’ll be in Porto, Portugal alongside twenty other 10uppers as we come together for the first WordCamp EU in 3 years. During the event, find us at the Google Booth–and be sure to ask about our work on SiteKit and the WordPress Performance Lab.
On Thursday, June 3 at 3:30pm EDT, I’ll be presenting “Editorial Experience: An Important Part of the Full Stack” at Click/Deploy, an event presented by Jamstack Toronto. If you’re intrigued by talk about Jamstack versus WordPress, this is for you. Then, on June 8 at 3:15 EDT I’m joining GitHub’s Global Maintainer Summit to present “You Can’t Have a Solution Without a Problem”. I’ll be talking about why I like to ask, “What’s the problem being solved for here?” and how that type of thought process can lead to better solutions. Both events are virtual and free to attend.

On Friday, April 2 at 10AM PDT/1PM EDT I’ll be joining Brian Douglas on GitHub’s Twitch stream for a GitHub Virtual Meetup Open Source Friday. Open Source Friday is a place for maintainers to share demos, stories, and inspiration with other GitHub users.
We’ll talk about using GitHub Actions to solve common problems in the WordPress development ecosystem, such as with 10up’s WordPress Plugin Deploy Action, and how the WordPress project itself uses GitHub Actions.
This Meetup event is free and will also be available afterward on the GitHub YouTube channel.

Tomorrow is DE{CODE} 2021, a virtual conference dedicated to helping developers craft better digital experiences. Created by one of our preferred WordPress hosting partners, WP Engine, the conference focuses on leveraging WordPress to build faster, run smoother projects, and optimize for speed, growth, and search.

Yesterday, I was a guest on Gutenberg Times Live, discussing the inner workings of the Create Block scaffolding tool and the creation of new templates. The “WordPress/create-block” tool is a Command Line Application that facilitates the building and registering of new block plugins to help developers extend the capabilities of the WordPress block editor.
The discussion revolved around my pull request, Create block: Add support for external templates hosted on npm. I demonstrated how this proposed solution makes it easier to create new block templates.
You can watch the video on the Gutenberg Times YouTube Channel.

I was excited (but not surprised) to see Tim Wright featured this week as Smashing Magazine’s “Person of the Week.” In his role as Director of Front End Engineering, we’ve had first-hand experience with his commitment to knowledge sharing and mentoring, especially with respect to web accessibility.
He has done every job from designing and coding to directing teams, and he loves to give back to the community — please meet our Person of the Week: Tim Wright.
Thank you for sharing and caring, dear @iamtimwright!#smashingcommunity pic.twitter.com/VfJWE9lvlU

Congrats Tim, and well deserved!
In response to COVID-19, many people are working from home for the first time. Recently, I shared insights from my experience working at home and leading a remote agency with one of our clients, T-Mobile. My tips are featured alongside some other perspectives in their story, Pants or No Pants? That Is the Question! For the record, I am team “yes, pants.”

Each year, we participate in dozens of industry events around the world. One highlight is WordCamp US, the largest official WordPress conference in the United States. This year, we’re heading to St. Louis, Missouri for three days.
We’re proud to have two speakers leading off this year’s event. In the presentation Open Source, Open Process, Open Web, Helen Hou-Sandi, Director of Open Source Initiatives, will examine the histories of open source and the open web, and discuss how they apply to WordPress.
Jeffrey Paul, Open Source Practice Manager, will answer the question, “I’m not a developer, how can I contribute to WordPress?” in the presentation Contributing to Core, No Coding Necessary.
As summer comes to a close, conference season kicks into high gear. This means 10uppers are taking to the roads and skies to attend and speak at conferences and events around the globe.

From its conception, 10up has worked with vital publishers and content creators to improve storytelling across the web. This week I’m in Columbus, Ohio to participate in the third annual WordCamp for Publishers—a conference bringing together content creators using WordPress to manage and grow publications of all sizes. Thursday, I’ll be delivering the lightning talk “#NoStalking,” about the challenges of delivering advertising that drives revenue but also respects user privacy.
