Accessibility This week I wrote about the SLAPP lawsuit that Audio Eye filed against accessibility expert, and WordPress community member, Adrian Roselli.

WordCamp Dhaka Canceled It doesn’t happen often (I think the last time was due to COVID in 2020), but recently the decision was made to cancel WordCamp Dhaka. When companies attempt to exert influence on the planning process, the Community Team must step in to mediate.

WCEU Was Amazing I know it’s been a few weeks, but having come back with covid, I haven’t had a chance to share my final thoughts on WCEU, so I’ll do so briefly here.

AI and WordPress is AI and All of Us In a recently blog post, Kathy Zant wrote about using AI for new headshots, and how that caused her to think about how we perceive ourselves versus how we might perceive ourselves – and our possibilities – when we look at ourselves through AI “eyes.” She… Continue reading Community Roundup Week Ending May 5

Podcasting in WordPress I heard from Topher DeRosia today that WPPodcasts has amplified over 11,000 WordPress podcast episodes. That’s a lot of hours worth of listening to content centered around WordPress. And that’s not a bad thing. I’ve heard the sentiment that “we don’t need any more WordPress podcasts,” but, I respectfully disagree. (And not… Continue reading Community Roundup Week Ending April 7
