Over AspirePress we've been in beta testing for a week now, and today wordpress.org seems to have had a pretty major outage (restored now). Just one more reminder why we *must* have a more robust software distribution system. Join us! github.com/aspirepress/as…

Is WordPress innovation in plugins slowing down? In this post, Marieke van de Rakt and I explore why new plugins struggle to grow, how established ones dominate, and what that means. Walking around #WCEU today, I realized that I *really* should publish: joost.blog/innovation-in-…

“We’re launching a movement. […] This is a project for all of us, and that includes all of you!” - Joost de Valk at #altCtrl, a #WCEU side-event.

Bombshell news out of the Alt Ctrl Org event alongside #WCEU: FAIR (Federated and Independent Repositories) introduces a #wordpress package manager in an aim to fully decentralize & futureproof WP by insulating the ecosystem from the anti-competitive whims of Matt Mullenweg Backed by

Matt Mullenweg Stefanos Thanks for the answer. You're right that conversations at events reflect the culture around them. In Europe, there’s more focus on regulation, sustainability, and governance. It’s not always exciting, but it’s part of how we try to protect people. Cookie banners aren’t fun, but
