This Monday I gave a talk on Gutenberg and the future of WordPress for the Montreal WordPress Community.

The talk included a demo of testgutenberg.com with a contest and prizes. But also an introduction to how Gutenberg is built with “just enough React js” to get started building custom blocks and templates, converting metaboxes, etc. There was also a “How you can contribute right now! (even if you don’t code)” component, a mini promo for the New Contributors Chat Wednesdays at 4 EDT in the #core Slack channel on make.wordpress.org
There were tons of questions and people were really interested in the topic.
Many thanks to my team members for their assistance and for the Montreal WordPress Community for inviting me to speak.
Also, we're hiring!
And yes, this post was made with Gutenberg 🙂
