Google AMP Roadshow Mumbai 2018 ⚡
Six rtCampers attended the AMP Roadshow Mumbai 2018. Pradeep, our VP of Engineering, was a guest speaker. He demonstrated the use of AMP for WordPress plugin.
Notably, he spoke about how AMP can be used to run the entire network of WordPress sites all over, including desktops. You can head over to rtcamp.com directly to see how the whole site looks like, with AMP implementation.
Informative & engaging talk along with a live demo by @Pradeep_Sunny from @rtCamp#amproadshow #Mumbai pic.twitter.com/qYBQQBtsu4

Pradeep’s speaker slides are here and we are here to answer any of your AMP related questions. ☎️ 📬
Unrelated to the event above, Sagar from our team contributed to the main AMP project.
You know the ubiquitous skip-link-focus-fix.js found copied over and over again across WordPress themes to fix an IE11 a11y issue? That fix is now being included as part of the @AMPhtml runtime: https://t.co/p1Ymcs24pa

EasyEngine RC1 🚀
This would be the most exciting update for EasyEngine users.
We released the first RC version last week. The best part is that we are already using it on easyengine.io and on most of our production sites, at this moment.
We hope to give you the final version by mid-November. ✌️
If you can help us with testing or documentation, it would be really helpful. 🙏

We request you to wait for final release before using EasyEngine in production. ⌛
Help us test the best! 😎 pic.twitter.com/cDn8q9iUgX— EasyEngine (@easyengine) October 26, 2018

Traditional Day 👘
We ended October by celebrating the Traditional Day at rtCamp. Traditional Day has nothing to do with Halloween, so don’t get confused if you don’t find our costumes to be spooky enough! 👻
This is how a group picture looks like for a mix of remote & office team. 🤗📷♥️
We celebrated traditional day with our monthly town hall meeting! 🎉Some rtCampers just wore full pants assuming its traditional enough to not wear shorts to office yesterday! 🙊 pic.twitter.com/U033X1KiK7

As there is no emoji for Indian traditional attire, I borrowed Kimono emoji from our Japanese friends. 🇯🇵 👘
That’s all for the month of October! 🍻
Wish you all a very happy and safe Diwali, from all rtCampers! 💥
