Good morning, Mrs. Bridget, and welcome. Welcome to Sunday Morning Coffee with Bridget, the West Coast Edition. Oh, I'm a little chilly. I gotta admit, I think it's mid-40s right now, but I'm on a rooftop deck overlooking gorgeous state of Washington. I see lots of green trees, different heights all snuggled together. I see a gorgeous blue sky, a sliver of a moon, and off to my right, I see Lake Washington. It is gorgeous. Very pretty. Down below, I see a few cars moving here and there. It's wet. The city is wet, and it kind of has that smell of wet earth, which I love. And it's going to be beautiful today. The sun is out behind me at my back. Good morning to you. Good Sunday morning. I made some coffee this morning in the little place that I'm staying at. And yes, there are three different coffee shops located quite literally on each of the sides of the place that I'm at, the apartments that I'm in. I literally can walk out three different parts of the building and get coffee, because apparently that's a thing in Washington, which is great. It's like, ah, I belong here. Thanks for the warm welcome. All right, so today I did the morning routine that I've been trying to do, which is to give my mind, my mind, my thinking mind a little bit of medicine. And I've been doing that with the Melody Beatty book. I have two of them. The Melody Beatty, Daily Meditations on the Path to Freeing Your Soul, The Journey to the Heart Book, okay. So the one I read this morning for April 24th was actually Change Your Perspective. And it talked about how sometimes you don't have to do a massive major change. And you know, you know, if you've been listening to my work at all, have you been paying attention to my life coaching stuff? You know that I believe that wholeheartedly. Change isn't often this big, bold, massive, courageous thing that people go, ah, gasp when you do it. And it doesn't have to invoke deep fear in order to make a meaningful, profound difference. Did you hear that? It does not have to invoke deep fear in order for you to actually have a meaningful, profound difference. Change can be subtle and gentle and occur over time. It can be a series of changes that grow into a monumental stepping stone, a staircase to the next thing, to the next place, to the next view of perspective. So Change Your Perspective is perfect for today. As I said, I traveled from Minnesota to Washington yesterday on a Saturday. I left Minnesota. Here's some perspective for you. It was about 60 degrees in the morning at like 5 a.m. when I was at the airport, left Minnesota, and it got up to almost 80 degrees yesterday. Warmest day of the year so far in April. Here, the warmest day of the year, April. Last week it was snowing, but hey, you know, it's Minnesota, right? Again, on a plane, I traveled to the West Coast, get to Washington, and it barely cracks 60, but it was sunny and beautiful and refreshing. The air here literally feels refreshing. And the cherry blossoms are in bloom. Interesting. Follow me on Brigitte inspired on Instagram. Brigitte inspired on Instagram. And you will see the pictures I took yesterday of the cherry blossoms. Excuse me. Not so ironically, but perhaps in Sink. In Sink. I actually brought a beautiful pale pink journal that I purchased several months ago. That has cherry blossoms on it. I just thought, oh, this is springy. I didn't even make the correlation. It has cherry blossoms on it. I'll post a picture of my beautiful pink springtime journal for you. That's the one I'm going to use for the next three weeks while I'm here in Washington State. So change your perspective, change. It also talked about little movements, just little movements can give you a different perspective because something might be blocking your view. So the question I have for you today is what is blocking your view? Because something is.  But if you move just a little here, show me just a little there, you can see around it. You might be uncomfortable because you're cranking your neck trying to enjoy the concert. It's not ideal, but you know it's there and so you can work with it. So my question to you is what is skewing your perspective? What is blocking your view? Think about it in terms of a concert.  What is blocking your view? And you don't have to identify if it's a speaker or a pole or a particular person or the ramifications of a choice you made 15 years ago or a health crisis or a financial thing. You don't have to identify the block. You just have to recognize that it's there.  Instead of facing the same direction and trying to work with the blockage. Why don't you just turn yourself around a little bit and pay attention to another whole wide open view, vast area of opportunity and consciousness that awaits you when you just turn a little bit and stop looking and staring right at the post, right at the blockage, right at the resistance. Stop staring at it. Shift your weight. Use your leverage. Move just a little bit. Step a little to the right or a little to the left or turn your body and look. Tilt your head up and look. Subtle changes. A subtle adjustment can give you a whole new opportunity. So as I'm standing here on the rooftop deck, I noticed behind me, the sun is coming up and there's literally a building, a little piece of the building kind of jutting out. Because I came to the side where I can look out where the sun sets, because the lake is on that side and it's beautiful. And I wanted to look at that spot. And the place where the building kind of juts out a little bit here behind me is where the stairway is, right? A much needed thing, by the way. It's not a resistance or obstacle. It's something that actually works for me. It's actually something that services me, that helps me. It's not really a blockage or a barrier or resistance. So to label that thing person in life experience as a resistance or blockage point would be inaccurate. But it is blocking my view right now of the sun and so because it is a little chilly, I'm actually going to grab my books. And you and I are going to walk around it. We're going to walk to the sun. Oh, yes. And instantaneously, just like that, the beautiful golden yellow sun is revealed. I can feel it. I can see it. I'm going to close my eyes and let it just soften. The light is so bright. Sorry, guys. I know it's going to drive you nuts.  It's beautiful. I can feel it. When I close my eyes, I can feel it and I can still see the light coming in. It's a bit quieter here, too. Now that I notice, auditory, my senses, my sensory energies of, you can hear birds. You can hear kind of a hum or a lull of traffic from off in the distance and periodically a truck here and there delivering some things. No doubt coffee, right? I can feel the sun. It's not hot, but I can feel the light of it permeating my face. It's golden yellow. Even when I close my eyes, I can see yellow. That's your spirit, intuition. And all I did was move around this perceived resistance point barrier, which by the way is the exit. That's how I got up here in the first place. That's how I'm going to get down from here. It's a necessary thing that if I would have labeled as resistance and just been all mad about it and just accepted the position I stood in, I would never come across to this side of that perceived block or barrier and have been able to view the perspective of the sun. I would have just accepted that it was blocked. Just a little movement.  You do have. You are the one that has all of the power. I know it doesn't seem like it. You don't have the power to perhaps do everything you could possibly want to do, but you have the power, the power to change things, the power to shift things, the power to choose how you're going to feel, engage and interact with your life, the people who are in it, how you're going to engage and interact with your body, how you're going to engage and interact with the job that you have at this point or changes you'd like to make in your home, you know, the decor, the renovations, etc. Whatever that might look like for you, you have the power. And all you need is just a little bit of a perspective just a little bit. And that's what I'm getting. I hope I get more than a little as I'm now walking across this deck. I'm on the rooftop.  They're all like wet. And it's quiet. Not a lot of people are out this early. It must be that a time zone change, right? A perspective shift, right? Time zone change. Two hours difference for me. I gained two hours. Perspective, right? Little change. And in the meditation today it was a little movement. So instead of using the word change or perspective, let's use the word movement. Move a little. In fact, you know, let me read to you just a little excerpt of this because it feels like the right thing to share here. Again, this is the Melody Beatty Journey to the Heart Daily Meditations on the Path of the Soul. Let me read this to you. Maybe you can grab your journal and listen for a bit. I'm going to read you a couple of parts of this. April 24th, change your perspective. Sometimes a slight difference in where we stand can dramatically change how we see things. I'm going to read that again for you. Sometimes a slight difference in where we stand can dramatically change how we see things. Another portion shares, we often need to change our position so we can see things differently. We don't have to make a dramatic change. We just need to move around a little. We just need to move around a little. Perhaps an unresolved issue is blocking our vision, blocking us from seeing the beauty that's there. Maybe a bit of anger or self-contempt is interfering with our vision. Maybe the changes we need to make are minor, much less than we thought. Maybe we simply need to look at whatever we are viewing without fear to change our mood and to see it with the eyes of love. Maybe we simply need to look at whatever we are viewing without fear to change our mood and see it with the eyes of love. Now that is medicine for the soul. As I mentioned, I will be posting on Bridget inspired Instagram pictures for the next few weeks. I will be here doing some self-reflection and I will be working. So yes, I'm doing sessions. Keep an eye on Bridget inspired on Instagram and Bridget inspired on Facebook. I'll also be posting on Above Life Channel YouTube, probably doing live streams because that's the easiest way for me to do my videos from here. Above Life Channel YouTube and also Fairy Grasshopper YouTube. I hope I've inspired your spirit today, filled you with some hope.  And I hope you have a beautiful journal. If not, please check the links to my other videos and you will find my recommendations for some of my very favorite, most beautiful journals, as well as this book by Melody Beatty Journey to the Heart. Have a good day.


Hello and welcome to the session. I am Deepika here. Let's discuss a question which says Determine probability of E upon F when a coin is tossed three times where E is the event head on third toss and F is the event Heads on first two tosses Now we know that if E and F are two events associated with the same sample space of a random experiment the conditional probability of the event E given that F has occurred that is probability of E upon F is given by probability of E upon F is equal to probability of E intersection F upon probability of F Provided probability of F is not equal to zero So this is the key idea behind our question We will take the help of this key idea to solve the above question So let's start the solution Let S be the sample space of the experiment of tossing a coin three times therefore S is equal to T T that is head on the first toss and tails on the second and third toss H T that is head on the first and second toss and tail on the third toss H H H that is all the tosses result into head again H T H T T H T T T that is tail on all the three tosses T H T T H H So S has eight elements Now according to the question E is the event that head on third toss and F is the event heads on first two tosses So E is equal to head on third toss that is H H H H T H T T H and T H H and F is equal to H H T H H So E intersection F is equal to H H H only Now probability of E is equal to 4 upon 8 which is equal to 1 over 2 and probability of F is equal to 2 upon 8 which is equal to 1 upon 4 and probability of E intersection F is equal to 1 upon 8 Now according to our key idea probability of E upon F is equal to probability of E intersection F upon probability of F and this is equal to 1 upon 8 into 4 upon 1 which is equal to 1 over 2 Hence the answer for this question is 1 upon 2 I hope the solution is clear to you Bye and take care


Stag the stand at Ram Aguco at KY254 channel. The hashtag as always is the stand starts right now. Give us your take even as continue with this conversation right here on Y254. Gentlemen, you've given us your take in regards to this. I would like to start with the quote by Honorable Rafael Tuju, the secretary general of Jubilee Party. And he said this and I quote, political parties are about politics and how to be in control. It is an aggressive sport because it is always about how to elbow each other out for positions. It would be strange if politicians sat somewhere and agreed on everything peacefully. Now I picked up two things. One, we're talking about control. Maybe we can assume that Rangos are there and that Rangos will be expected based on this. That he said that it will be impossible to assume that everything will run peacefully. So Rangos can be there. But how do we ensure stability in political parties and how do we ensure that who and who is in control of these parties maintaining the same stability? Thank you so much Ram once again. The most important thing that we must understand about the political parties, the political parties they don't run on a vacuum. These are entities that are actually supposed to be geared into stabilizing the country. Now the more we have the political parties and okay, let me talk of the school of thought whereby we say that if we have more of the political parties then that means we have more results of participation. In other words, we strengthen our democracy. Now that's not to say that if you look at it this way we have political parties who are actually again using the political entities to bring their number. This number is being misused during this time in the name of soliciting for more funds because if I go for a nomination of any political party I will be paying that party but then they don't actually have a cup over the prices for the nomination forms. Now this is something that is being abused within the system. And if you talk of the way Rafael Tuju is putting it, it's like they don't want to care about the electorates because the driving engine here is the electorate. Do we really capture their interest when we talk of the highest bidder so long as you've given Kalmaks the nomination certificate for your party then I run with that in that area that you are dominant then I become the automatic governor, I become the automatic senator, I become the automatic women or the member of the county assembly. So we are misusing the powers of the political parties that within the systems this is the right time that now we have to ask ourselves do we really tighten or do we really loosen the rules and the guidelines that are supposed to be governing the registration of the parties so that we don't end up having parties that are negotiating for their own personal agrendizment and not for the interest of the electorate.


So good afternoon. I'm commander Barb Archer with major crimes. We're here to give you some information on the after involved shooting yesterday and Lieutenant Matt Clark for major crimes has the information for you Thank You commander. I'm lieutenant Matt Clark CLARK from the Denver police major crimes division I just want to give you a brief update about the incident that occurred yesterday involving the police officer involved shooting This incident started Tuesday August 16th yesterday at about 415 in the afternoon one of our undercover officers spotted a vehicle that was used or taken excuse me in a Carjacking in Arapahoe County that incident had occurred two days prior The undercover officer was calling in marked units When he lost sight of the vehicle approximately three minutes after losing sight a Uniformed officer driving a marked vehicle located that This vehicle that had been carjacked and it was parked in the parking lot of the Denver Community Credit Union at 10th Excuse me 12th and federal That vehicle the way the officer found it was backed into a parking space there It was kind of hastily parked in that it was at an angle and crossing over two lines Parking lines there given the time spread the officer didn't know immediately if that vehicle was occupied so as he pulls into the Parking lot he pulls in front of the vehicle and recognizes that it is in fact occupied by three individuals That officer Requests additional backup again. He's a marked excuse me a uniformed officer in a marked police vehicle He begins challenging verbally challenging the individuals in the vehicle Ordering them to show their hands while at gunpoint with these individuals waiting for cover Almost immediately all three doors on the vehicle simultaneously open or three of the four doors There's two in the back seat and one in the front the driver those doors open and everybody Bails out of the vehicle and begins running the officer's attention is drawn to the driver Who comes out of the vehicle with a handgun a black handgun in his hand? The officer briefly pursues him on foot and While in engaged in the foot chase the officer discharges his weapon multiple times that individual the suspect is hit He gets into the alley and is taken into custody without further incident at that point He's transported to Denver health Medical Center That suspect is a juvenile so I can't give too much information about him He did sustain a leg injury from the being hit by the bullet It is a non-life threatening injury and he is expected to survive that The two other individuals that fled from the vehicle were captured within ten minutes of that arrest of the driver within blocks of the of the original scene there at the bank, so we have the three people that were in the vehicle initially all accounted for and in custody The individual that we that was shot and there was a driver of that vehicle that had been car jacked I did have multiple warrants for his arrest again being a juvenile. I'm limited on what I can release on that He does face new charges as a result of this incident for felony menacing in relation to his Interaction with the officer The other two individuals that were in the car also both juveniles can't release much more on them But they also have to they also have multiple arrests warrants and they were held in the juvenile youth facility for those the We did recover a gun Very near where the suspect was taken into custody that gun we cleared the serial number and determined it was stolen in a burglary We're working to determine and get additional information that incident did not happen in Denver So we're waiting on reports and putting additional information together on how that individual came to have that that handgun During the investigation we recover excuse me We recovered a second handgun in the back of the vehicle that had been car jacked the Vehicle of the officer initially contacted that handgun had been abandoned in the vehicle And we're working to determine if that was stolen or where that handgun came from also To provide you a little bit of information about the vehicle. It was a 2005 gold Volvo s60 that Was the exact vehicle that was taken in a car jacking in Rappau County that incident was reported to have occurred on August 14th at about 1 45 in the morning That's not aren't our jurisdiction. So we are working with that county in that jurisdiction to get their reports and Shore up that investigation to determine if the individuals we contacted in the vehicle are responsible for the car jacking The information that was available to the officers was that during the car jacking incident the robbery of the vehicle in Rappau County? Multiple suspects were involved and that there were guns used in that in that incident there Through the investigation. We have no indication that the Individual that was in the driver's seat that was eventually Wounded by the officer that he fired his gun at any time. We have no indication that that happened No officers were injured in this incident And the officer that was involved I'm not identifying at this point the media relations will release that later He's a 10-year veteran of the police department. He's a patrol officer works in a uniform capacity to sign the district one He is currently placed on admin leave as as prior protocol Pending the invest the outcome of this investigation. This investigation was done cooperatively In line with our typical protocol working with the Aurora Police Department in the Denver district attorney's office We know that there were many witnesses there We interviewed a number of witnesses last night and I'd ask if there are any additional witnesses Our people who have information or video of this encounter to contact the Denver Police Department or Denver Crime Stoppers So we can get that information and include that as part of our investigation. I Believe that's all I have if you have some brief questions, I'd be happy to address them So that's part of again. We're in the early stage as you can appreciate it or a day after We're that's part of the investigation right now is to determine what led to that I don't know specifically. It's in the Rapo County. That's all I know at this point We're still looking to invest in investigating I can tell you for sure that he did come out of that vehicle with the handgun in his hand at that point That's what the officer initially saw there


Okay, so for my carnivore dinner today, this is Aberdeen Angus ground beef. So this was about 800 grams and I put in two eggs and I just mix it up with a little bit of salt and pepper and Now I'm just going to be making the patties For for dinner, so I've just pressed this one using this handy Patty maker, so I'm just gonna show you how I do that Okay, so you're gonna grab your patty maker and Bought a handful because I want them to be thin.  So I'm just going to arrange these on to Some plates and then I'll pop them in the freezer for about 15 minutes so that they can just solidify a little bit and then they'll be ready to go So these are gonna go into the freezer for about 15 minutes just to make them a little bit harder before they go into the grill


So to officially jump in out of St. Louis, I'm told that this place is also called the Lou Is that something y'all say? Do people from the UK look at you funny? This is actually not my first time in St. Louis I was back here for a happiness meetup in 2011 which was my first exposure to city museum and of course I'm familiar with the St. Louis lunatics and other culture ambassadors you have out there in the world Though I was not aware that St. Louis hosted the world's fair in 1904 and in fact Many amazing technological innovations have come out of here including the wireless telephone x-ray machines a lecture at street cars and the first prototypes of personal Automobiles which back then were both gas and electric. It took like a hundred years to come back to the electric So it seemed fitting to have the event here and also to look at where WordPress has been and where we're going to go this event was brought to you by 47 organizers 122 volunteers and 90 speakers yesterday and today This event was also brought to you by the sponsors that make it so that the ticket is so inexpensive Thank you the bluehost who commerce jetpack and Google So as we head into the final months of 2019 actually our earliest work camp us in a while It's good to take a time to reflect on everything that we've worked together on collaborated our accomplishments and just everything been going on with this year We've had two core releases so far this year the first WordPress 5.1 named for Betty Carter Included the first iteration of this site health screen something might be familiar with That's a few fans The idea behind this is that again WordPress is all about empowering users And we wanted to put the information and the tools in the hands of users as well to keep their site running in tip-top shape As we power an ever increasing percentage of the web It is our responsibility and behooves us to try to make sure that portion of the web is safe secure up to date And running the latest and greatest stuff So this allows because people information they can either use themselves or get in touch with Their support hosting or things like that We had a lot of developer experience improvements in the 5.1 clean the cron API This is kind of the thing that runs in the background of WordPress that makes Actions happen at certain times. So let's say you schedule a post You ever wondered how that actually gets posted at the time when you schedule it We have kind of a weird cron thing built into WordPress. We've enhanced it now so that Advanced hosts or hosts that have a lot of cron scheduled tasks can Hook into that and make it more efficient We also for the multi-site fans in the room added a site meta feature Which gives developers a more performant way to store arbitrary data as opposed to just dumping everything in options like we used to 5.2 named for Jaco pastorius came out in May This one was pretty exciting because what you see on the left there is the old widget screen on the right is the new Widgets all available within Gutenberg Which also means that you can edit them in line and see exactly what they're going to look like in the real-time Gutenberg interface But also I did a quick iteration based on feedback from y'all saying that there were a lot of blocks Good problem to have so we made it for yourself or for your clients. You could hide or show certain blocks We have a block manager and then finally You shouldn't see this anymore Wsod stands for the white screen of death I guess originally was called this Because you know as a play on the blue screen of death that windows used to famously have But basically what this means if you visit your site you see this there was probably some sort of PHP error or something That is preventing your site from loading and unfortunately that makes it also hard to fix your site if it's airing out So now when something like this happens particularly from an auto upgrade or a plug-in upgrade you get a special email with a link that lets you Basically navigate to a URL which deactivates the plug-in before loads and allows you to then Turn it off and get back into your site So again, this is just an example of something coming up from users coming up from the support forums that we've identified as common barriers and our user experience and did a lot of work to try to rectify WordPress 5.3 is coming out on November 12th. So just around the corner This is not a pre announcement of the jazzer. We always do that in the day so You will see what jazz person is named for but is a very very exciting release For a number of things we have over a hundred and fifty block editor improvements So some of you might not know but the version of Gutenberg that's been shipping with WordPress 5.2 Is a few months out of date now and there's been lots of updates and as I will talk about more later But it is I'm very very excited to get all the Gutenberg improvements in the hands of our wider audience It's also coming with a new default theme This is 2020 It is a Gutenberg first beautiful CMS powered theme with an original design contributed by Anders Nora, and then of course it's spanded by the 2020 it is really slick. I have switched my own site ma.tt over to it and It really highlights some of the power of Gutenberg So I highly encourage checking it out if you would like to get involved in some of the final I guess basically done But if you want to see the code behind and some of what went into it you can check it out on github as well In the vein of improving things for administrators making WordPress easier to run for everyone We've put in a little screen that just kind of verifies Your admin email which is separate from your user email So we would send out emails like when things were auto updating or when things broke But we found out that a lot of people had set up that email when they first started and never looked at it again So now about every six months you'll get like a little hey, is this still your best email type screen? Again these things seem simple, but it's a foundation on which we can build a lot else on Because now we can start to make it more things dependent on that admin email Then also 5.3 is going to have some more developer stuff. There's kind of so much Gutenberg We'll talk about that later. We did time and date component fixes That probably at least three people here in the audience know Well Let's raise your hand if you know what those mean. Ah Pretty savvy audience. That's at least 40 and we of course updated to be compatible with the latest PHP 7.4, which is of course faster and better than ever It was an all-storey year Where we raised the minimum PHP version of WordPress We ended support for PHP 5.2 to 5.3 and I have an interesting stat that for people running WordPress 5.2 which is our latest stable release 83 percent on PHP 5.0 or in PHP 7 or later So we are seeing people who are updating WordPress are also updating PHP, which is very exciting However, as we were digging into these stats, we found something else which is about 10 percent of all the word presses We're tracking are on older versions of PHP So we think this might be contributing to some people being sort of stuck on some older versions of WordPress that it seems that they are Running a higher percentage The digital population of older versions of PHP which we track going all the way back to 5.0 Right now so we still have a lot of work that 10 percent of the word presses on the world still on a too old upgrade PHP ends up being a lot of them You could call that about three percent of the web so It sort of woke me up to the fact that we're going to need to really Dive into these and work with the web host and people Excuse me hosting them Try to get in there to get these on the latest and greatest While this has all been going on, there's been a ton of fun stuff happening on the mobile side of WordPress, which is A crucial important for user adoption part that sometimes we forget about in the day-to-day development so Of the 38 core blocks that are in Gutenberg We have now ported 10 of them to mobile and we got Gutenberg on mobile in the first place So congrats to that team So The block editor is now available on both ios and android devices Um including one additional block coming out and they release coming out on monday We are almost done with offline support Which means you will be able to Blog and use the wordpress app on a plane train or automobile when you are not connected or maybe even at a conference like this And we have a dark mode done on oas and that will be coming to android in a matter of weeks Of course the people side of wordpress as we just heard from that The open film is one of the most exciting and the events and people Side of wordpress has had an exciting year as well In 2019 there will be a hundred and forty one word camps Those are the big ones all over the world 34 of those in brand new cities We also have this new thing 17 of which and one of which tomorrow called kids camps Which is yeah Events adjacent to wordcamps designed specifically Uh for our younger contributors Um in fact, I believe at this camp we had one of our youngest here at work camp You asked one of our youngest speakers ever you come from that Yeah Four at what age? Let's call it 14 or 15 So very very excited for a new generation It's a little scary to also think that they weren't born when wordpress started I know if that made any of y'all feel old definitely made me feel a little advanced We've had over 5 000 meetups The wordpress meetups are the more like monthly events happening all over the world in almost every city and 16 do action Charity hackathons. This is where wordpress volunteers and community members come together and create websites for nonprofits and set them up To just have a beautiful web presence This was also a year when we started bringing in More of the people's stories to the wordpress.org blog our news site So the icon on the left is here at press you haven't come across here at press before highly recommend checking it out And maybe you might even have a story you want to share there Your press is a community site which highlights the journeys of how people came to wordpress and the effect it's had on their life And the fact they've had on wordpress as well. We started highlighting one of these per month On the wordpress.org blog and it's been really really exciting to get to know more of the people Behind wordpress and in fact many of them are stories that are new to me as well So it is a must read for me every month There was a bittersweet part or a sad part of 2019 as well that we We did lose some community members Notably viper 007 bond also known as alex mils who's a longtime contributor friend and colleague I also recognize that many people might have lost other folks And the immunity so I didn't want to take just a brief moment of silence to remember and thank Those who are no longer with us Alex was an amazing contributor to wordpress great friend a great colleague We are automatic is putting together a scholarship To parallel the kim parcell scholarship that's been going on for a few years now That brings someone to work camp us and this will be targeted at a plug-in developer Who hasn't had the chance to visit uh Work camp us yet and so there'll be a full scholarship full ride for them And the beautiful part of this is actually alex's story mirrors that quite a bit His mom was telling me where he was a little bit more introverted But he found out there was going to be a word camp nearby to him Even though he'd been a big contributor He didn't had never been seeing the events and went and that was part of what allowed him to blossom And so finding a new set of friends a new community a job at automatic kind of everything That changed from in that kind of last decade It has been a very very eventful 11 months. We've had lots of ups and downs That's what this graphic is illustrating And um But we've had thousands people come together as well I do want to rewind a little bit and talk about where we were just about a year ago So close your eyes and imagine Uh that wordpress 5.0 probably the biggest change we had ever made to wordpress in its 16 year history Came out the day before word camp us started in national We had people coordinating work from airplanes They were impromptu groups of core developers testing and packaging the release in the hallways The polyglots and marketers were support teams were just scrambling to get everything ready And of course we had that snazzy release video That was a pretty controversial year that year You know we came together and decided to make this big change because we wanted to well first disrupt ourselves We want to empower more wordpress users to realize our mission of democratizing publishing We want to make the web a more open and welcoming place But um, you know Gutenberg Got some uh feedback These are all real tweets or quotes from articles I don't want to pile on to the Gutenberg hate, but come on. This is nowhere near ready I think it's safe to say absolutely Capitals hate the Gutenberg editor on wordpress now and a lowercase p says pour salt in the wound Gutenberg is just plain terrible and barely functional a design should make my life easier not harder And finally don't update the wordpress 5.0 You know there was lots and lots of feedback on that and I think we learned a lot Both in the process, but also in how we can communicate change better in the future Although there were no changes on the horizon as big as Gutenberg was You know think of that as like, you know Embatters swing with a couple of bats before they go up to the mound We've now had really good practice for any future future changes you want to make um, I think that we also Have a great opportunity when we make big changes in the future Sort of build that trust in the conversations around testing using github for development things like accessibility So I understand why we had a lot of this feedback, but We did get through it together So thank you We have had since that 5.0 release 20 releases of the Gutenberg plugin so the pace of iteration of Gutenberg has kept up And I'm also very very proud to say because there was some discussion around kind of contributions um That the number of Gutenberg contributors since 5.0 has grown from 200 Over 480 Over develop over a doubling year to year I'm also very very excited to say that even as wordpress becomes more advanced we incorporate new technologies You're all learning JavaScript deeply is that We're going to have the most contributors we ever had to wordpress ever this year So in 2018 we had about 594 contributors this year so far right 11122 unique contributors Thank you Also, thank you for clapping allows me to take a drink If you want to throw some more in there The current release version 5.3 coming out in november 12th Is set to have the most contributors of any release in our history by over 100 people I'm also happy to say that the adoption of Gutenberg is going fantastic We have 2.7 over 2.7 more sites using Gutenberg than that and this is actually probably under counting Because we're subtracting everyone using the classic editor from this But of course those of you who might be using the classic editor No By the way classic editor is a plugin we promoted very heavily with the upgrade to 5.0 That allowed people to still use the old editor as well as using new editor But it actually classic editor doesn't turn off Gutenberg allows you to toggle between them So you can decide on a proposed basis what you want to use So we believe some Interesting number I don't have any exact thing but interesting number of the classic editor users are actually also using Gutenberg as well We just passed Two days ago 50 million posts made with Gutenberg And that number is going up fast. We're seeing over 270,000 per day And again, this is a subset of the post that we're tracking. This is only Folks running the jetpack plugin that we get this stat from so Um, there is even a larger that is the the floor of where that number actually is So to look at where Gutenberg is today and to talk about some of the development and work We've been putting into it first and foremost. I want to talk about performance I am so proud of the team for this graph So what you see on the left there is the average seconds to load for version 5.0 then all the way on the right is Release candidate 2 of version 5.3. So we've halved the time it takes to load Gutenberg and the post and edit screen We also one of the things that we noticed when we first launched is that the actual typing lag For all the complex things we were doing Gutenberg was fairly high So that has gone from 170 milliseconds in 5.0 now down to 53 milliseconds again Down by two thirds in terms of the speed that's going in there We put in some fun user enhancements. So for example When we first launched when you move blocks around, which is what you're seeing on the left These just pop around we've added motion So now you kind of can see what's going on. It just feels a lot better And of course this also respects the motion sensitivity settings That you can set in your browser for accessibility We added a typewriter mode So this is pretty fun because like a classic typewriter it keeps your vertical place as you type So this avoids jar and jumps or cases of typing near the bottom of the screen Just a much more pleasant editor experience and something that now I want from every single editor I use We added block previews. So what you're seeing here is now when you Because the blocks You know just the when it was just the icon in the name You'd never know We recreated a little bit of the mystery meat problem we were trying to solve So what the block previews do is show you right next to it Exactly or a preview of what the block is going to look like and it allows for more explanation So if you are clicking on something and you're like, what is masonry? Which is a fair question to ask It'll show you that that's actually what we call these cool tile galleries kind of Pinterest style galleries We created a quick navigation mode which helps with both usability and accessibility For you to be able to navigate through blocks with a keyboard And you can press escape to go into that navigation mode What is coming for Gutenberg because I'm even more excited about the catch up that we're doing in version 5.3 This is the simplest thing But wow, we actually found We've been gathering some stats on what people are searching for For Gutenberg blocks and one of the very very top things was social icons These are like the NASCAR stickers of the web They're everywhere But you can now add Icons any place you can put a Gutenberg block and we created a really nice interface for doing so A huge project that we've been working on is taking the navigation menu So this is what previously was an entire screen inside a WordPress with its own Everything that's what you see on the left and making it an inline Gutenberg block It still supports all the same functionality and even adds some new So what you're seeing there is a color picker Which previously wasn't even something you could do with the old navigation editor By the way, you might notice we renamed it from menus to navigation This is going to make all the restaurant users of WordPress understand it a lot faster Real issue we run into in testing We've created the ability to do gradients and Gutenberg in a gradient tool This was actually pretty fun because it's a fairly complex interaction, but we're able to put it together in a Exciting way so you can create blocks like it's 1999 again That of course pairs well with our multi button block Another thing they seem basic, but these are things that we were running into quite a bit that people were asking for Um, we are very now far. We're now a year into The idea and the reality that there's going to be a thousand block blooming So people are creating blocks left and right and it's uh, it's really exciting to see what's going on So one of the things that I'm most proud of the team of for doing as well says they have a block directory So what this is is that you're going to be able to install Blocks in the block directory Completely in line So what you just saw happen right there was what was happening in the background rather Is someone typed in a block they were looking for it didn't find anything They went it called out to the centralized wordpress.org block directory They clicked add it and what happened was essentially like a plugin got installed Activated in the background and the block was available to insert completely instantly completely in line with no page loads or anything This is also really fun because as the block directory grows to incorporate hundreds and thousands of blocks You can use those building blocks just in line as as what you're doing Uh, we are also going to expand this to include patterns patterns block patterns are what we're calling collections of blocks So if you could imagine like a testimonial pattern or you know slider type things Basically collections of the basic building blocks that take the most common Patterns that you see on websites all over the world and make them accessible to install with just a single click The idea here and what we're really trying to enable With these fundamental building blocks is that you could look at any website in the world And build that inside of wordpress with just a few clicks It is coming On the community side of things we've also seen some Pretty cool examples This is the morgan banker mortgage bankers association Site built by rtcamp and they created a block template for the newsletter functionality So it's actually happening right here. They are building an email newsletter in line with gudenberg To give a quick call out to wordcamp phoenix Any folks from phoenix here? Nice, which also got a little call out on the film also made me realize How weird the word phoenix is when you look at it It's like the word weird. You're like, ah, is that oh or either? This is a hundred percent blocks and in fact many of the work camps including work camp us are now building their entire sites Just using gudenberg and blocks Nine publishing is using the interface and two room two newsrooms For different mail outs that are doing for gudenberg. They estimate That they are saving 15 hours a week for editors across both newsrooms when they implemented this gudenberg interface Finally pragmatic created a plugin, which takes a client created word documents Not wordpress word And associated images imports the content directly into gudenberg editor and using a combination of core and custom blocks Basically makes it ready to go Into their publishing system, which again super super cool Could do a quick round of applause for these folks building about the loser and also for Deciphering the word document format It's impressive in and of itself Last year remember it actually came up in the q&a. I was someone asked what percentage gudenberg was done And I say we're about 10 percent done I'm very excited to say that we're now about 20 percent done So the important changes and part of why we we made the investment in gudenberg was this is The fundamental foundation that we're going to build the next decade of wordpress other and I so We'll do about 10 per cent per year But already as we get to 20 percent it is incredible humbling and awe inspiring Everything that people are able to create with what's in there already To give a quick reminder, there are going to be four phases of gudenberg We are I would say on the tail end of the easier editing phase This is where we're tackling all the usability problems We had in tiny mce and our former editors Where people having trouble manipulating embeds short codes images Basically getting the layouts and formatting that they wanted with the old editor We have increased that usability tremendously And the gudenberg team still does at least one usability test per week and post them at least once a month to the make blogs showing Kind of the progress of those kind of real world You know, not people who are in this room people new to wordpress. How are they able to use this interface? We're currently in the thick of the second phase phase two, which is all around customization Give you a little update there. We have completed converting all the widgets to blocks block customization navigation menu, which isn't a plugin, but it's going to come in core The widget block screen and customize our widgets panel with block support We are finishing up a block pattern directory and implementing full site editing You like I slip the biggest thing there just as a final bullet point But it is coming along and there is a light at the end of the tunnel As a quick reminder the final two phases The third one is going to be collaboration Which is where we take everything that you see in gudenberg and make it so you that you can Real-time co-edit With anyone else who is editing the same things that you are and also think a lot and invest some development into the workflow around changes and sharing changes previews, etc and then finally Last we're going to tackle the babel fish problem and have multilingual support Core to wordpress and core to gudenberg And you're all we get super excited about that We're still at the very very beginning of this journey We've been doing gudenberg for about two years now. There are 47 releases prior to 5.0 coming out. We've got 20 since then But it's the community all of you that really make wordpress great It was so interesting how quickly the individual interviews in that film all went back to that same work community community There's so many parts of how you can get involved with wordpress and I want to talk about some of the ways or some of my suggestions for if You're watching this either the thousand something people here in this room Or the many on the live stream or the folks who are going to watch this later Ways that you can get involved and being a co-creator of wordpress First is helping be the change and you might have heard before every single talk we've given that tomorrow. There's going to be a contributor day So if you are able to get to One of the big word camps, there's typically a contributor day afterwards And what this is is kind of like the real life version of what we have online So instead of going to a make that wordpress.org p2 and seeing what's going on. There will be a physical table For all the people who are passionate about Localization all the people working on the editor all the people working on whatever that is and you can walk over that table and be part Alongside the people who make wordpress I love this concept and it's one of the most powerful things in the world that with every bit of technology that you interact with Every day someone made that and with wordpress, which many of you interact with every day It's probably someone sitting here in this room and you could very easily become one of them So go buy the contributor day to get involved another fun thing is The Gutenberg plugin is still there. So when people upgrade to 5.0 we Turned off the Gutenberg plugin for them automatically because we had I think over a million testers before But about 270,000 275,000 people have turned it back on this means that they are getting those Weekly or fortnightly updates to the Gutenberg plugin Before those things get shipped into core So if you would like to see the latest and greatest of what Gutenberg could be And there's a very active feedback channel there for reporting bugs Basically, if you'd like to help define what's coming next and core Gutenberg Install this plugin. It's also neat because it kind of gets you The latest and greatest before the core release comes out We've also been doing a lot of experiments with beta plugins to allow us to test features before they go into core And one that's pretty small still only a little over 100 sites running it But I'd like people to Check out and participate with is designing experiments So this is where we're actually able to make user interface changes to wordpress In a plugin before we put it into core and can get feedback and also do user testing on this Basically one of the best things we learned from Gutenberg is that we don't need to be beholden to the core release schedule Which at our best is three times per year to be able to rapidly iterate get changes in the hands of users Users are the oxygen for any software and without it You don't really know Despite whatever planning what you might do. You don't really know how people are going to use and interact with the software So it's really really important I want to highlight this fun tweet from someone Actually reinstalled the Gutenberg plugin. This is Hannah Smith said Install the Gutenberg plugins today, which upgrades the features that ship with core I wanted the cover block and I was curious to check it out OMG exclamation point exclamation point It's like a million times better If this stuff goes in the core, we're all in for a treat. Well done to all the contributors So you can be like Hannah I'd have there are three exclamation points in this tweet, which is pretty impressive for 280 characters That's a high percentage of exclamation points the rest of the characters in the tweet We need more blocks. So One of the most exciting ways to expand the Kind of window of what people are able to do with WordPress today is creating more of those blocks So if you're building sites for clients or friends or yourself And you find yourself needing something that Gutenberg doesn't yet support And you have the technical wherewithal you've learned JavaScript deeply and are able to build it Share that please particularly if it's JavaScript only you can go in our in our block directory As the blocks increase, it's almost like The people using the canvas of WordPress are getting new Colors and textures and paint brushes they can use and the things that get created are so inspiring Also, if you have that technical wherewithal or know a lot about WordPress Think about helping teach to change. So every single person who contributes to WordPress Pretty much at some point had someone else help them get involved That's part of why we have the contributor days It's part of why we make all of our meetings open on slack and put out all the notes on p2 And just try to household a whole development of WordPress be as open as possible Is um, is that teaching aspect? It's really one of the only places in the world as well You can sort of work alongside Developers who create the software that runs a third of the web And so if you wanted to learn better php or better javascript I can think of no better kind of master class or real world Studio with which to do that If you're interested in learning more, hopefully you made it to the get involved booth, which is here at At the event, but if not come to contributor day tomorrow So I'll be happy to walk you through things or check out make dot wordpress.org because we all make WordPress together Sharing your knowledge can also come through events and meetups This is a map of all the meetups happening all over the world Looks like even green lamps Not Iceland though. Come on Reykjavik. What's going on? As you can see all over the world There is probably a WordPress meetup near you and if there is not like let's say you're in Iceland you could start one And these are really really fun ways to bring community together And also allow you to experience the best part of WordPress, which is the people the software is pretty good, but the people are amazing In 2020 we're also going to Redo our regional events work camp us and work camp europe and we're going to add a new one Which is work at asia for the first time These regional events are fantastic for bringing together contributors in particular So you get a lot of the local work camp organizers All the meetup folks come to these regional work camps and can really share and learn at a very very high level I believe work camp asia will be in February and this first year will be in bengkok thailand so If you've ever wanted to visit there Good excuse to and work camp europe is going to be Porto. Oh my god, that's right I love porto too porto in portugal Also where port is from if you ever enjoyed a good port So check that out and work camp us will be right back here in st. Louis I might need to come a week early just to go to like city museum every day I did not realize there was a roof Which makes me wonder I was kind of wondering with my sister actually makes me wonder how many floors in between where I got to and Where the roof was that I missed. Oh my goodness I was uh We've apparently had more social media posts and tweets and tumbler posts and wordpress blog posts everything This work camp that we've ever had Uh, and I've been following up as well the wc us tag And um, it's been really really fun to kind of live vicariously through parts of this event I was at but did not see Why are we doing all this? Um We're trying to help open the web There is a very natural pendulum that sweet swings both in societies and technology and in the web between open and closed And as it swings back towards open it doesn't happen for free doesn't happen automatically it happens through a lot of hard work um From people like here in this room Creating the type of web that we want to live in and we want the people going to kids camps and their children to live in We are putting together for wordpress a few two final things that i'm going to plug First is now on workpress.org Slash news We are doing our annual survey Which is a very exciting way to show for our corner of the web What is going on and the technologies and things that are happening We are also translating this into i believe six or more languages So we'll be able for the first time or for a better than we have in the past get feedback from The non-english parts of wordpress as well And then finally a little surprise announcement for y'all as you saw a lot of talk for five for the future Just to briefly reiterate five for the future is this idea that wordpress is a big part of your life Try to think how you can take five percent of your time However, that might be defined to be money resources colleagues, whatever it could be to put back in the comments so that You know the kind of core wordpress, which is again built largely by like people here in this room Can grow and get better and be something that sort of We can benefit from and future generations can benefit from too So if you wordpress.org slash five you can type the number or spell it out We now have a directory. It's actually I believe came up in a question Maybe last year might win word camp here over here Which is is there a way we can highlight the people who are contributing? That fire for the future So what this allows is either for individuals or organizations to pledge and show everything They are sort of pledging and committing to wordpress and you can browse them and then of course if you are ever Trying to hire an agency or a web host or thinking like something like that Definitely take a look at the fire for the future page to see which organizations Are giving back to wordpress and Try to vote with your wallet to support the folks who are Really making sure that wordpress can continue for many years and decades to come All right, that's all I got Actually, wait, wait, wait, wait. There's There's one more thing All righty for this So, um This entire presentation was actually in Gutenberg So this was all on a web page And in fact The speaker view which I'll bring over here Is another web page and this was all edited. Let's see if I click this what'll happen All edited uh inside of wp admin through Gutenberg also Kind of amazing you didn't break, right? Let me make this full screen again I might bring this window back. I lost it presenter speaker view I'll bring that back Full screen And this code is all on github. We'll be releasing it and um Can we give a quick round of applause for stand up if you were working on this? LML Mark There was so much code happening till about like 25 minutes ago I am Impressed and amazed that that came together so well. So congratulations on that
