Join Nathan Wrigley, Sé Reed, Marc Benzakein, Alex Standiford. The conversation focused on current trends in the WordPress ecosystem, including the decision to retain the classic block, the release of an open source documentary, and concerns over declining plugin sales and community participation.

The discussion explored alternatives to Meetup.com, highlighted the Yoast Community Fund recipient, and mentioned new tools like GatherPress and Fluent Player. Several points were raised, including the importance of open source, discoverability, and adapting to changing user needs.
