@TacoVerdo@fair_pm Fair is not "only" about distribution, @photomatt. It's about "real" ownership, independency. Your point around security: why is https://t.co/6awFeaJG3K not giving notice when a plugin is removed from rep because of insecurity. 🤨.
It is now one year ago that I asked @photomatt about closed plugins not showing up as closed at the Q&A of WordCamp Europe in Turino.
The ticket is amazing 11 years old.
Would love an update on this! #WCEU2025#WCEU
Talking about the Open Web Alliance, @photomatt says “…we want to support in whichever way we can”.
However, the OWA site says @WordPress’ membership is paused: https://t.co/IDO7Tj0uga
#WCEU
Why the @fair_pm leadership structure is important?
Because it means that a single person or company can’t decide, for example, that a simple slack channel will not be resurrected.
#WCEU
During @photomatt's QnA in #WCEU2025#WCEU in Basel, the GDPR, the European regulation on privacy was mentioned, but I think the point was missed. It is not about users blocking companies from infringing on their personal data, it's about companies being transparent and accountable about what they do with the user's personal data.
Hi @photomatt my #WCEU question: The mission of WordPress is to democratize publishing - when will you democratize the governance of the WordPress Project? #WCEU2025
Bombshell news out of the @altctrlorg 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 @photomatt
Backed by the @linuxfoundation and hundreds of contributors the project was coordinated by @jdevalk and @karimmarucchi and has an all-star technical steering committee of @Ipstenu@cdils and @rmccue.
This is a huge step in a great direction #wpdrama #WCEU2025
All this #wpdrama will affect #WordPress's market share, powering the web as we move forward. Companies won't want to spend money on a platform where the actions of one person can suddenly compromise their website's security and functionality. It's really unfortunate.
The plugin repository should be mirrored. On hundreds of hosts around the globe. With auto nearest alive mirror selection implemented asap inside WP. Exactly as Linux package managers do. If WP wants to be serious about it's open source character. Otherwise forget it. #wpdrama
Danke #Frankfurt♥️

Die Daten für das erste Halbjahr 2023 von Eurostat sind da. Die Idee, dass die deutsche Industrie wegen höherer Strompreise in andere europäische Staaten abgewandert ist, passt nicht so recht zu den Zahlen:
🇩🇪 +5%
🇫🇷 +100%
🇦🇹 +60%
🇳🇱 +40%

Der Terrorangriff der Hamas auf #Israel ist jetzt bald vier Wochen her. Vieles ist seitdem passiert, die öffentliche Debatte aufgeheizt und verworren. Im Video deshalb einige Gedanken von Vizekanzler und Minister Robert #Habeck zur Einordnung und Differenzierung.
