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.

Instead of having to reach out to each and every organizer, it would be easier for these companies to just give a 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.

I’d love to roll this out for the second quarter of 2013, if possible.
