Statamic's Flat Camp is an unforgettable, relationship-focused retreat for the Statamic and Laravel community. Happening June 11-14, 2024, and set in the idyllic Italian countryside, right outside Rome, surrounded by beautiful scenery, we talk both business and non-business.
Spend time with the gentlemen from the Statamic Core team, meet those lovely people from the community IRL, influence the future roadmap, and talk about operating your freelance or agency business to peers, all while sitting by the pool, having lunch or dinner cooked by a private chef, and more! It's a different experience compared to a regular conference you might have attended in the past. You won't need a hotel since the accommodation is included in the ticket as well. This is all part of the experience.
Read the recap of last year's retreat over on the Statamic blog or relive some of the magic by watching the recap video.

This year’s WordCamp Asia was held in Taipei, the vibrant capital city of Taiwan. Members from WordPress.com joined other Automatticians, as well as around 2,000 other attendees from across 70 countries to connect, learn, build, and give back to the platform that powers millions of top websites across the internet.
The event kicked off with Contributor Day, an opportunity for anyone in the WordPress community, from newcomers to seasoned experts, to get involved and contribute to WordPress. Contributing can mean contributing to code, but it can also mean sharing your expertise in design, offering support in forums, translating content, and much much more. This year’s Contributor Day had a fantastic turnout and it was amazing to see so many folks show up and participate!
As always, there was a variety of informative and inspiring talks. Some of our favorites included talks about the future of WordPress, the multifaceted nature of design, building and maintaining WordPress sites with AI, achieving efficient workflows with the site editor, and the importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the tech and WordPress communities. If any of these topics pique your interest, you can take a look at the livestream recordings for these and all other WordCamp Asia 2024 talks here.
While our colleagues from the WordPress Project, Woo, and Jetpack participated in the event, folks from WordPress.com were also present, contributing, networking, and engaging with the community.
This year we were particularly interested in connecting with developers so that we could better understand their experiences with WordPress.com. Our hosting infrastructure, powered by WP Cloud, is best-in-class, yet the benefits aren’t as well-known in the developer community. To help get the word out about all of our developer-focused features, we’ve recently relaunched our developer site at developer.wordpress.com. Check it out to learn about staging sites, WP-CLI access, and Studio, our upcoming local development environment.
During the anticipated closing Q&A session at WordCamp Asia 2024, Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress and CEO of Automattic, opened up about his dreams for a web that’s both open and accessible to everyone. He shared how the core principles of open source are not just shaping WordPress but also knitting together a worldwide community of contributors.
That sense of community is something you can definitely feel at WordCamps. Thirty-six percent of attendees at this WordCamp were first-time participants—a testament to the event’s growing appeal and the ever-expanding WordPress community.
During the closing remarks, Matt revealed that State of the Word 2024 will be held in Tokyo, Japan. The lead organizers also revealed the next WordCamp Asia location: Manila, Philippines, in February 2025. With Manila’s rich tapestry of Spanish, European, American, and Asian influences, we’re in for a vibrant mix of culture, cuisine, and community!
But you don’t have to wait until 2025 to start getting involved. There’s a huge number of local and regional WordCamps happening year-round. Head over to https://central.wordcamp.org/ to find one near you. Whether you’re looking to develop your skills, learn something new, network with the community, there’s something for everyone. We hope to see you out there!

You can automate the Upgrade of Laravel 10.x to Laravel 11.x with Laravel Shift. This is an amazing way to speed up the upgrade process and get those existing Laravel applications running on the latest version of Laravel.
Laravel News creator Eric Barnes demonstrates upgrading laravel-news.com to Laravel 11 using the amazing Shift service:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Z6aY9FfY5eI?si=9hh-F5U_xj6kB-u2" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>The Laravel 11 shift includes streamlining your configuration files to their true customizations, consolidating service providers, getting your app to reflect the Laravel 11 application structure updates, and more.
Check out the Shift demo video for some additional insight.
Each Laravel release contains a Prologue section, which contains Release Notes, an Upgrade Guide, and a Contribution Guide. Using Laravel Shift is the best way to upgrade, but reading through the release notes and upgrade guide is an excellent way to familiarize yourself with changes to the latest Laravel version.
A quick way to stay current with Laravel releases is the laravelversions.com website (and their APIs) so that you always know where to go to find dates for release, end of bug fixes, and end of security updates for Laravel & PHP. Hat tip to Matt Stauffer, who helps maintain laravelversions.com and phpreleases.com.
At the time of release, here’s an updated support policy:
On our Laravel News YouTube channel, we have a Laravel 11 playlist for everything we've published leading up to the release of Laravel 11. We’d love to hear what you’re building with Laravel!
