WordPress1 Must Win
A Plea for Unity:
Safeguarding the Future of WordPress
This is the TLDR; version, read the full appeal here or dream of what may be.
The ongoing legal dispute within the WordPress FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) Project has cast a dark cloud over the community.
While both fighting parties claim to have the best interests of the project at heart, the escalating conflict and actions done since is causing irreparable damage. Valuable time, resources, and trust are being squandered in this unnecessary battle.
We cannot stand idly by as the WordPress ecosystem suffers. It is time to demand a ceasefire and redirect the energy and resources invested in this legal conflict towards the betterment of the project itself.
Let us unite to create a stronger, more independent, and transparent WordPress Foundation. By investing in a neutral guardian, we can ensure that future disputes do not jeopardize the health and vitality of the FOSS2 community.
We invite all WordPress workers, users, business owners and investors to sign our open letter. Together, we can demonstrate our unwavering support for the WordPress project and its mission.
Join us in calling for detente and a renewed commitment to the future of WordPress. Let’s work together to build a more collaborative and sustainable ecosystem for everyone.
