@craylor I'm not on beta, but my iPad is often a couple of hours behind.

@GoDaddyHelp @GoDaddyPro How did my SSL renewal go from $6 a year for the last three years (including one renewal period) to being charged $600 for two years without warning?

[Mike Demo 🏳️‍🌈 @Mike_demo]

@GoDaddyHelp also DM'd me.

@jeffr0 In other news @Copilot found me a UCC SLL for the same number of domains for $9.99 / year from My-SSL.

[Mike Demo 🏳️‍🌈 @Mike_demo]

@jeffr0 Multi Domain UCC

@jeffr0 @TheCre8tiveDiva I don’t mind paying but this jump was crazy, if it was not as high as it was I would have just sucked it up.

@craylor Look at Amazon Glacier for cold storage. It's so cheap.

Answer from @photomatt:
“That’s a good question. Well, one, we can lead by example and so I will now reveal that I was actually going to give this slot or create an additional slot. I invited Dries [Buytaert] to come speak here at this very WordCamp. So he’s the founder of Drupal. …

So I think we’ve always been pretty good about inviting others in. …

I think some projects do do things better than others and software can have features that’s directly better or worse, but I think what we could do a lot more is learn from that.

The code is there — if they like some code that we wrote better, they can copy… in fact they should copy and paste into their project and vice versa. That is the entire point of open source.

Maybe take some time, do a presentation like: what are the best things about Drupal? What do people love about it? And what can we learn from there?

More working together I think is the way forward.”

@photomatt, Joomla turned 21 on Monday, and you have spoken at the Joomla World Conference and many other Open Source events. Why do you think so many people in WP, Drupal, Joomla, etc., are so tribal instead of focusing on FOSS vs. cloud source options?

Question (@Mike_demo )

“Hey, Matt. Mike Demo. … So, on Monday, Joomla turned 21 and you spoke at the Joomla World Conference. That’s actually where we met the first time way back then. … And many other open‑source events.

But why do you think so many people in WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, etc. are so tribal instead of focusing on trying to focus on open source?

I’ve had thousands of conversations with tons of developers in all these communities and they all are ‘WordPress is better than Joomla’ and there’s all this infighting which I have never understood.

So what can the project do to try to stop that?”
