Hey Flora,

There was nothing specific that impacted the revenue, I just thought there is not much value in sharing this every month, nothing that you can learn from. I would continue to share it where I consider that there is something meaninful.

Thanks for stopping by!

In reply to Monica Pitts. Let me chip in here. Project managers benefit in another way from conferences like that. They don't attend many talks but network a lot with other people in the hallways. They can meet a lot of great new people there, which can have huge long-term benefits.

Good to know. What impacted revenue of ThemeIsle this month? Also, I am curious about revenue of Code in WP as well though. In recent reports, you are not sharing revenue regularly.

Please do that.

Great question on conferences, I’ve been toying around with taking our entire team to WordCamp US in Nashville this December and have the same opinions as you. Great team building, great to see where WordPress is going as a whole. I have wondered if taking the project managers would be as great a benefit to them as the developers. Seems like the developers get so much out of even just being in a room with other people who “speak the same language”. Will the project managers feel overwhelmed by all the tech jargon we developers so love? I guess only time will tell…stay tuned!
