Hey, everyone! Hope you’ll are doing great! 👋

The month of February was full of new releases, WordCamps, community events, a new addition to our team and preparation for our 10th anniversary next month (12th March), that we’re all super excited about! 🎉

Releases 🚀

GitLab to GitHub Migration Script ▶️

As one of our significant goals of 2019, we moved all our work from GitLab to GitHub. This was done to streamline internal projects and improve focus areas with respect to efficiency, user-friendly ecosystem, and better software integration.

We open source our GitLab to GitHub migration script in the process. Read this blog for our reasoning and migration script.

rtMedia 🎬

This month, we have had some minor fixes and add-on updates in rtMedia core, rtMedia bulk edit, and rtMedia WordPress Sitewide Gallery plugins. Check out how you can update to the latest versions.

WordPress 5.1 with 10 Contributors from rtCamp

WordPress 5.1 was released this month with 10 rtCampers adding their names to the contributor’s list. Coincidentally, we are also celebrating our 10th birthday in March!🎂 🎉 As a matter of pride, this was the 16th consecutive WordPress release with contributions by rtCampers! 😎

WordCamps & Other Events 🎉

WordCamps

The month of February involved a lot of traveling for rtCampers as we attended WordCamps across three countries. A dozen rtCampers attended WordCamp Pune as organizers and volunteers while Imran Sayed and Prasad Nevase from our team made their speaker debuts. As rtCamp is more than 50% remote, many of us needed to travel in order to attend WordCamp Pune, even though it was held at our home location!

Opening the rtCamp innings @WordCampPune is @imranhsayed who is going to share his thoughts on Gutenberg and how the developers and end-users can reap its benefits.#WCPune #Gutenberg pic.twitter.com/ZeAgha7gmg

Google Cloud Study Jam

Mriyam Tamuli, our Product Head (EasyEngine), was invited to kick off the Google Cloud Study Jam – a Google Developers Group event. He spoke about Docker and Kubernetes and explained how they function behind the scenes. At this event, there was an audience of around 200 people, most of whom completed 4 labs with Mriyam’s help! 😎

Why switch to #Kubernetes from the existing platforms by @mbtamuli. He also recommends the participants to take courses under @qwiklabs for better understanding of @googlecloud @GoogleDevsIN @GoogleCloud_IN pic.twitter.com/GfS8abNHc2

New Relic Event

Five rtCampers attended the New Relic Community event which was held for the first time, in India. Our folks found this event to be very informative and learned the integrated usage of their products during the workshop.

New Director – Sales 🙋‍♂️

The newest rtCamper, Robert Jacobi, joined us as the Director of Sales, last month. This addition to the team has led us to extensively tap the market in North America. Robert has brought in his 20 years of experience in the industry, to this role and we have already taken a step forward towards our common goals and ambitions.
