Big news for the #WordPress ecosystem! I've just published my thoughts on FAIR, our new Federated & Independent Repositories. We're building a more resilient, secure, & transparent future. It's real, it's running, and it's NOT a fork! Read the story behind FAIR:

Let’s be clear: @jdevalk and I asked for and proposed change inside the #WordPress project. *We* did not talk about a fork.

Joost wants to "hold this community together" and I stand with him in that effort.

It's clear the #WordPress world needs a change. So I wrote a post about exactly that: Breaking the Status Quo: A vision for a new WordPress era buff.ly/4grFfIA

Thank you @TechCrunch for updating the article to reflect what I and @jdevalk actually said more accurately than WordPress .org

I believe #WordPress can grow stronger and more inclusive, working together to maintain the #OpenSource spirit that unites us all.

It's time to address moving forward in #WordPress I will post a few structured thoughts about a federated governance approach in the next couple of days. Outside of drama, and not taking sides, not any one entity should be able to derail the supply chain by accident or on purpose

It's clear that #WordPress is at a crossroads, whether we want it to be or not. As a result, it's good to talk about what it is, and what it should do, so, I wrote a post about that: joost.blog/wordpress-road…

Today I have read one of the most important articles of the last 10 years if you work on the #Internet, #OpenSource, or a #TechAgency. It’s uncomfortable, hash, demoralizing, a truly beautiful piece of writing, and completely true #OSS Thank you @WebDevLaw webdevlaw.uk/2020/02/15/con…

Seriously, @yoast , @MariekeRakt and @jdevalk have always acted with 100% integrity in all things #OSS, and we all make mistakes. They did all the right things to deal with this. Without a revenue path at all, #OSS can not grow to the point and benefit that #WordPress has.

That BlackFridayBanner was not the best idea. We’re truly sorry for the annoyance and difficulties it may have caused. We did not think this through properly. If you want, you can update to a new version of our plugin without that banner. #blackfriday #neveragain #apologies
