September Meetup - Gutenberg

Let's talk about Gutenberg, the new editor for WordPress, likely coming in 2018. The editor can already be tested by installing the plugin. It's going to change a lot how content is built, and how we use things like shortcodes today.

After an introduction I will ask you all to gather around screens and try Gutenberg for yourself and do some research, then we can discuss our findings afterwards. Please bring a laptop or tablet if you like.

Venue: We are pleased to return to Rocket Labs ( http://rocketlabs.dk/ ), a fully serviced office and coworking space in Nørrebro on the first floor.

About the monthly meetups

We strive to hold regular meetups in the last week of most months. Sometimes there are presentations, and other times we run it as a workshop or social gathering. There is always plenty of time for general networking.

Meetups are held in Danish or English depending on the mix of attendees and preferences of the speakers and venue owners.

All meetups are free to attend unless otherwise specified. If you can offer a space please contact the organiser.
