@marucchi.com is helping the launch the FAIR Project. Karim's helped some of the largest companies in the world move to WordPress. Those companies love the control and ownership that WordPress provides. Here's why FAIR is another step forward for us, and them ⬇️

$8.8 trillion. That’s the estimated economic value of open source software, according to a new report commissioned by the @linuxfoundation.org and presented at #OSSummit by @harvardhbs.bsky.social's Frank Nagel. #OpenSource #WordPress

Just gotten off stage presenting about @fair.pm at the Linux Foundation’s #OSSummit together with @marucchi.com - we’re starting the conversations with funders of our project today.

Today at #OSSummit @joost.blog and I with @fair.pm announced our open call to @linuxfoundation.org members to join a new directed fund to ensure a true #OpenSource #CMS ecosystem for generations to come! Get in touch to Join!

Looking forward to speaking at the @linuxfoundation.org Open Source Summit on Monday. @joost.blog and I will share more about @fair.pm with fellow open source enthusiasts and industry leaders. It’s going to be a fantastic conversation! ossna2025.sched.com/event/1zBhs #WordPress #OpenSource #Linux

Thank you @mikelittle.com! The Fair TSC team is doing amazing work and now that we are talking to hosts, there is so much we can do for the evolution of #WordPress

Yup….

Introducing FAIR for #WordPress! I've detailed the journey from concern to action, explaining how this new decentralized distribution layer (definitely not a fork!) aims to enhance security, compliance, and the plugin economy. marucchi.com/introducing-... #FAIRPM

The travel season is here...but planning looks nothing like it used to. AI is changing how people search, plan, and book. The question isn’t if you’ll adapt, but how fast. I sat down with Peter Ladka, CEO of Sherpera Consulting, to talk all about it. Watch the full video → youtu.be/XxP22PvxGxs

Why is Open Source still so underrepresented in analyst reports like Gartner’s DXP Magic Quadrant? In the final part of my conversation with Dan Drapeau, we dive into that question and more! Full Episode on YouTube: lnkd.in/eQjSjSS7

Recently sat down with Dan Drapeau and we unpacked what composable really means, and why not every platform that says it's composable is actually delivering. We also talked about what’s working, what’s not, and how open source is shaping the future of digital experiences. youtu.be/ltLymneISyk?...

If you’ve heard me talk about Open Source DXPs before… well, here I go again! 😆 Big thanks to @allthingsopen.bsky.social for giving me the space to share why they are the smarter choice for enterprises. Check it out here: allthingsopen.org/articles/ope...

I am excited to be speaking at PressConf 2025! This event brings together industry leaders, developers, and innovators to explore the latest in WordPress, open-source, and digital experiences. #PressConf #WordPress #OpenSource

Thank you @techcrunch.com for updating the article to reflect what I and @joost.blog actually said more accurately than WordPress .org techcrunch.com/2025/01/11/m...

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

I believe #WordPress can grow stronger and more inclusive, working together to maintain the #OpenSource spirit that unites us all. marucchi.com/wordpress-le...

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