Dear WordPress-Community in Vienna!
I will report from the “WordCamp Europe” in Basel, and the inspired Side-Event “AltControl.org”. It’s a (r-)evolution.
The WordPress community gets back the control over the governance of our open-source project.
We had to learn 2024 in an interview for the magazine The Verge: “WordPress.org just belongs to me personally.”
On Thursday, 6th June 2025, a new “packetmanager” was introduced: FAIR.pm: the Federated And Independent Repository.
It’s not a fork of WordPress, it opens software updates to new repositories parallel to WordPress.org: the free foundation AspirePress.org is the first, that adopted that.
FAIR is run directly by the Linux Foundation. Period. See press-release of the Linux Foundation.
Three Austrians were witnesses of this (r-)evolution in a bar in Basel. If You want to know more, join the MeetUp in June!
