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.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPeople 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. \n\n\n\nSarah 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.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is also time for a joke. Like what happens when two train conductors walk into bar…ok.\n\n\n\nGutenberg 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!\n\n\n\nAs 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. \n\n\n\nGetting back to business\n\n\n\nImmerseus 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…\n\n\n\nEvents\n\n\n\nWordPress meets education...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/B7hdlYwjqhl9eXRrYH3YmT0lK4oG1XC6kdnjd-ITW0w/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZDhl/YzIxN2QwOWRmYjQ1/OTM2ZjMwZWRiYzli/M2ExMC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
