Looks like I’m officially part of the blocked team. Just a recap of some of what I tried to contribute over the years.
I contributed five plugins to
#WordPress, including two that were voted the #1 and #3 plugins by users in 2009. The mobile plugin I helped make was the default mobile version on
WP.org for a while.
I coded the first few iterations of
profiles.wordpress.org. I’ve also contributed to core.
I organized three WordCamps, two in Vancouver and one in Whistler. I sponsored many others through my business, the majority of which I never even attended.
There’s an old saying that when your friends suddenly become your enemies, you should seriously ask yourself why.
I still believe in WordPress, I just find the recent actions to be reprehensible and not in the spirit of open source or what I thought was the spirit WordPress.
