Last chance for the open web

WordCamp Canada 🇨🇦 Ottawa, Ontario 🍁 October 15-17

I just recorded a podcast to Jeremy Herve, who we’ve been working with, at Automattic.

First, he responded to my piece from last Thursday, Think Different about WordPress.

Then I recorded a 20-minute podcast in response, Last chance for the open web. That’s what it’s really about. WordPress embraced the open web and maintained that support for 22 years. It’s the best platform to build on if your intent is to create an easy writing platform for the open web.

I’m going to do more podcasts in the WordPress community in the coming months, and I think this episode would make good background. I’d be happy to elaborate on any of what’s in this podcast or in the Think Different piece.

    Matt Mullenweg at WordCamp Canada
