![]() ![]() And when that presentation first rolled out, what was your initial thoughts? And then like you said, this presentation shows up on the screen, and it’s WordPress 6.1. So we get into the room, we all sit down, and then it’s like a quiet comes over the room, and he’s addressed or announced. He’s a very busy person, so he has a lot of other companies and social platform to run, so I think people just like to see where his head’s at, what he’s thinking about, what he’s focusing on, because it’s kind of your one opportunity, apart from the State of the Word and apart from sometimes he does another Q and A at the WordCamp Europe, but that’s really in the US that one opportunity to see, what is he going to talk about? What are people going to ask him about? What is the topic of conversation in WordPress?Ībsolutely. So I’m sure I came into it a little bit exhausted and worn down, but also, it’s your one chance to see the defacto leader of WordPress sort of engage with the community. ![]() So you’re, a lot of socializing, a lot of talking to people, a lot of walking around, a lot of late nights, those sorts of things. Yeah, well it comes at the end of the conference, so you’ve been there for a couple of days, and like every conference, it’s very exciting, but it’s also very exhausting. And so I’m wondering, what was your experience before we even got into that room? ![]() I was one of the people that was on the side of like, okay, I’m expecting to see Elvis, Tupac, and Michael Jackson on stage or something, because it just was like really motivating to see as many people who were waiting to hear what people had to say about WordPress. It’s weird because on one hand, you had … It was like almost had a fever pitch, you had so many people who were just chomping at the bits trying to figure out, can we get in the room? What is he going to say? What’s going to happen? But then you had other people who were kind of like, “All right, here’s another conversation, here’s another address,” yada, yada, yada, like, “What can we expect?” So you had the people who were super excited, but then you had other people who were almost waiting to be disappointed.Īnd I found it, because this is my first WordCamp US, and so I found it to be really intriguing. So we’re waiting on this Q and A from Matt, and it seemed like the anticipation in the room was surreal. And I think they just called it Q and A with Matt Mullenweg. So the State of the Word usually happens now in December, and so he’ll probably do a small presentation then, and this one was really mostly a Q and A with just a short presentation at the beginning. Yeah, so it used to be that he would give a speech called the State of the Word, where he would talk about the full year, but in the last few years they’ve separated that. Do you know what they call it, his address? I can’t remember the exact name, but I know. We were both at WordCamp US in San Diego, and we were sitting outside the conference doors, and we were all waiting for Matt Mullenweg to come in and give us this announcement, as he normally does to end the WordCamps. So, I want to paint the picture for everyone. This is kind of a pretty cool release, and I feel like there’s a lot to talk about coming out with WordPress 6.1.Īll right, so let’s get right into it. We’re going to talk about WordPress 6.1, and I’m excited to jump into it. I know we have a great conversation today. So join Brian and Teron as they discuss the most exciting things coming to WordPress in 6.1. ![]() Understanding each and every change and how they affect your sites can be daunting.
