1. The grand opening of Taipei’s biggest WordPress event – WordCamp will be on this Saturday!
Gandi is proud to be a sponsor of the WordCamp 2019, which will be held in Taipei, Taiwan on December 28th. Gandi Asia team will have a booth there to meet you face-to-face, and two Gandians will be also there as volunteers. Don’t hesitate to come and say hi to us! Read more about WordCamp!
2. Gandi v4 customer web interface closing
The Gandi v5 platform has been deployed now for about 2 years. With this in mind, in the first trimester of 2020, we are planning to definitively close the v4 customer web interface. Nearly all Gandi v4 features are available on the new interface. Here are a few notable ones.
3. What’s new with .new?
In accordance with the rules established by Google, the .new Registry, the registration during LRP (Launch Registration Period) requires obtaining a special token. This process will ensure that only compliant use-cases will be validated by the Registry. What you need to know about the process.
4. Return from the land of the dead (domains)
When a domain name expires and is dropped, what it leaves behind can make them appealing to re-register and while resurrecting dead domains can be done for nefarious purposes, by itself, re-registering dead domains is not necessarily a dark art. Go back to the land of the living.
5. The best conferences seen by Gandi
Gandi was proud to be a sponsor of the Write the Docs Australia 2019 Conference, which was held in Sydney, Australia on November 14 and 15. We also sent our own technical writer as a participant. Read her report.
The 2019 Open Source Summit (OSS) took place at the Centre des Congrès in Lyon, France from October 28–30, 2019. It’s the main conference for developers and other technophiles and the Open Source community. Two Gandians were able to attend the conference and shared their pics.

The year 2019 is coming to an end, and with it a number of promotions.
