  • On Forking WordPress

    On Forking WordPress

    It’s been floated with the recent outburst between Matt Mullenweg and WP Engine, that the community should fork (aka move the OSS) WordPress to a new project, with out the drama (or so it’s thought).

    Updated (at bottom) 9/25/2024 This is going to be a post that will grow and be added to as my thoughts come together around what happened at the Q&A with Matt Mullenweg, the co-founder of the WordPress project and CEO of Automattic.

    I Will Never Forget This Day In 2001

    I remember September 11, 2001 like it was yesterday. It was a beautiful cloudless day, like today. I was a sophomore at the University of Delaware. I remember thinking the whole event seemed like we were in a Tom Clancy novel. But we weren’t. It was reality — real life. I’m going to keep this…
