No Comments WordCamp Kent 2020: A few intro messages from a keynote speaker!
The official website of WordCamp Kent 2020 published an interesting interview with Steve Grunwell from Liquid Web, a keynote speaker.
Here is what he said about what inspired him for his keynote session named "The World Beyond WordPress"...
For too long, I’ve heard developers in the WordPress ecosystem be surprised to hear about the larger PHP community, but I’m the developer today because I’ve looked beyond the gates of WordPress. I’m a developer who happens to write PHP and work in WordPress, I’m not a “WordPress developer” or even a “PHP developer.”
The same goes for those in other specialties: An SEO specialist should know not just how to make WordPress do something, but also see what the larger ecosystem is doing (and, if Wix is doing something that WordPress isn’t, let’s bu

No Comments Tabor launched Iceberg
Richard Tabor, known for CoBlocks, Block Gallery, and ThemeBeans, has launched a new premium WordPress plugin "Iceberg". It's new writing experience.
Iceberg is a beautiful, flexible writing editor for crafting posts with the WordPress block editor, as stated on the official website.
https://twitter.com/richard_tabor/status/1263444178538823680
Iceberg allows you to write within the WordPress block editor in a way that feels much more natural than working with “blocks”. Our goal is not to remove blocks, but rather to deemphasize them – and any non-essential elements within the editor – to promote a focus on writing.
Check out the official website: useiceberg.com.

No Comments Automattic invested in New Vector
Automattic invested in New Vector and it's $4.6M strategic investment in order to back the Matrix ecosystem, New Vector stated in their official press release.
We're very excited to announce that Automattic, the creator of Wordpress, is making a $4.6M strategic investment in New Vector in order to back the Matrix ecosystem - effectively extending our Series-A round from October.
The natural fit between Automattic and New Vector means that the opportunities for collaboration are huge, and maybe even more obvious at the open source project level. For instance, Matrix could become the default real-time communication layer for WordPress, be it for a chat plugin, community collaboration or even more... In fact Automattic just opened up a role for a Matrix.org/WordPress Int...

No Comments DON’T MISS THIS: How to do “online WordCamp”!?
According to the Central WordCamp site, since the pilot program for supplying production vendors to online WordCamps was announced, a few WordCamps have taken advantage of this – namely WordCamp Spain, WordCamp Santa Clarita, and the upcoming WordCamp Kent. This pilot program has proved to be a success, which means that all WordCamp organizing teams in 2020 will be able to count on this support.
Through this program, WPCS (WordPress Community Support, PBC) will pay the production costs of online WordCamps hosted in 2020 with the hope that this will result in more online WordCamps during this time of uncertainty and in-person disconnection. Removing the barrier to entry for online event production should help WordCamp organizing teams focus on the thin

No Comments WebDevStudios: New to Working from Home? Try These Tips
Working from home has been a dream or an occasional treat to many of us, but given recent global changes (which name shall not be mentioned), many across the globe find themselves by virtue of necessity working from home now as a new way of life.

WebDevStudios, since its inception over ten years ago, has always been a remote work company, meaning there has never been a shared office; and we like it that way. At WebDevStudios, we employ a staff 38 highly-skilled project managers, marketers, support staff, and engineers serving our global client base from the comfort of our homes.
