I hope that one positive outcome of this whole debacle will be people realising that the Wordpress Foundation board is apparently three Matt Mullenwegs in a trenchcoat: https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/2024/09/24/who-is-on-the-wordpress-foundation-board/ https://www.pluginvulnerabilities.com/2024/09/24/who-is-on-t... (I exaggerate, slightly.)
This is clearly not what an independent foundation with the interests of the open source project in mind looks like.
If this mess creates pressure to put more separation between the Foundation and Automattic, I think that can only be a good thing.
- labster 2y agoI’m the president of an internet nonprofit (miraheze.org) and we have five active directors with an annual budget of ~$10k. We have elections for community appointed directors as well. This stuff is not hard. By comparison, the WordPress Foundation is just embarrassing. One of the biggest OSS projects in the world operating as a vanity project for Matt instead of being a stakeholder group, or doing much of anything.
- Ennea 2y agoOh heck, Miraheze spotted in the wild. Thank you for the work you do, it's invaluable.

- labster 2y agoThanks for the report. It’s a wiki farm so most of us go directly to the RecentChanges page instead of the landing page. I will change the link to point here instead: https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/FAQ https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/FAQ
