## Agenda

 * 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 theme related updates in GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg
   project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process
   and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler.
   It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. [https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)
 * Discussion
    - What layouts would be useful to create as proof of concepts for block themes?
 * Open Floor / Q&A
