2. WordCamp 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. Europe Contributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/.

On the contributor day @kafleg and @onemaggie will co-lead the table. And primary focus will be community themes. If you are passionate about block theme building, you can join the themes table and learn or contribute.
3. Open Floor
During the open floor, @kafleg shared a question from @bijayyadav.
Hello everyone. I’m reviewing a theme and it is a child theme A Child Theme is a customized theme based upon a Parent Theme. It’s considered best practice to create a child theme if you want to modify the CSS of your theme. https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/.. I checked the author’s profile and found that there are more than 50 child themes for a parent theme.
Do we’ve any guidelines on how many child themes can be created for a single-parent theme? I find it quite absurd creating so many child themes for a single-parent theme.
We were not able to answer this during the meeting. If you have any feedback or suggestions for it, comment down below.
David B also asked a question about accessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) and @kafleg answered him. You can read the entire conversation in #themereview channel.
