Releasing a huge plugin

Presented by Anton Timmermans in Trappenaula.

How we manage releasing our SEO plugin

Supporting a huge plugin is not easy. Before releasing a new version we go through a large amount of checks to make sure the release is correct. After the checks thousands of people will start downloading the plugin. In this talk I will show how we at Yoast deal with the challenges that come with the release of a big plugin. We consider every aspect of plugin development, from choosing to fix the right bugs to the scaling of the supporting infrastructure.

WORKSHOP: How to work together across disciplines (dev, design, editorial)

Presented by Toon Van de Putte in Mezzanine.

So, you’re building this website, theme or plugin. For a client, or in-house. Initially, all is well. But then it starts: ‘simple’ changes, disastrous assumptions about who does what, frustration, anger. How can they be so stupid, right?

In this workshop, I’ll share my experience with mixed teams and how to make them work, and I’m looking forward to your stories and questions.
