Theme review events happening this week I want…

Welcome to the Themes team!

We are a group of volunteers who review and approve themes submitted to be included in the official WordPress Theme directory.

We do license, security, and code quality reviews.

We help build and maintain default themes.

The primary focus of the team is to help theme authors transition to blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.-based themes.

Theme review events happening this week

I want to start highlighting all the WordCamps and events we have going on each week.

As we grow as a team more and more of us are giving talks and holding contribution sessions. It need not be a full on event like a WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. or contribution day. Maybe a group of you are getting together in a coffee shop. I’d love to see us all let each other know a bit more what awesome is going on.

So far this week we have:

Sakin Shrestha @sakinshrestha is giving the following talk: “Contributing to WordPress Theme Review” at http://2014.nepal.wordcamp.org/. He is also leading a training session for new reviewers.

Also on Saturday, I am attending the London contribution all dayer: http://www.meetup.com/London-WordPress/events/216784732/. It’s a chance for new and current reviewers to get focused for a day.

Feel free to mention any other events relating to theme reviewing.
