For anyone able to go to Basel (CH) and interested in free speech and governance in Open Source and specifically in the WordPress project, @altctrl.org may be of interest to you.
— Alt Ctrl Org is an unofficial #WCEU2025 side event on Friday evening, June 6th: altctrl.org/schedule/
"... Maintaining that continuity and preventing arbitrary disruption stemming from a corporate dispute is in the public interest."

And when we reunite, we keep working on the best possible WordPress, together. And we will continue to demand better, to demand fair governance, fair safeguards, fair coexistence. None of the #wpdrama of the past months should have happened.
Let's reunite. Please reactivate any .org account that has been deactivated since Sept 20th without any reason or procedure. Both WPE and non-WPE. Affiliates or not.
We hope that all contributors who are still willing to return, can return as soon as possible. #wpdrama

We kindly ask #FOSS invested fellow workers and businesses to sign as a token of support. FOSS is not just software, it’s the people. We can not want non-FOSS to (re)gain the trust FOSS might lose due to how this dispute is handled. We need to be/become better, as a Project. 9/9
We invite all WordPress Workers, users, business owners and investors to sign this letter (publicly or anonymously). #WeAreWordpress #thefutureofWP
And please, keep talking about governance. 8/9
Co-sign our plea demanding all to co-create a fully independent, transparent, and strong WordPress Foundation v2. Let’s invest in an independent guardian angel so fights like this can not hurt the FOSS project and it’s community as a whole. 7/9

A fully independent, transparent, strong and true mothership for the whole WordPress ecosystem is the only way forward. A way out of the current #wpdrama. 6/9
The health of the WordPress Project may not (risk to) depend on one single business or person, anyone willing to contribute (financially) must be able to do so while financial transparency and neutrality will be guaranteed. 5/9
The WordPress Project may never risk to (be perceived to) favour a single business’ needs and a foundation should safeguard a fair coexistence of all involved open source businesses. 4/9
The whole of the Project’s infrastructure and all Project-related accounts may not depend on one single business or person. 3/9
Five for the Future can not be transparent and/or enforced without the Project having a proper and distributed governance model. 2/9
Five for the Future, step one: the WordPress Foundation v2. A true foundation for the whole WordPress ecosystem to thrive.
Consider reading and co-signing our appeal for transparent and distributed governance. 💜
