I’ve been prototyping a small physical device that sits on your desk and quietly reports essential info from multiple software tools. From a design perspective, what makes something worthy of your desk space?

So you say it’s the best… what else have you tried recently?

We’ve turned software into a soap opera over the last few months (though it’s been happening for much longer, with people just looking the other way). After all, #WordPress is just a CMS with only one superpower—the #community.

In other news, later this year, we’ll be back in #Paris, France, for #StrapiConf 2025, and I can't wait!

I mean, it’s 2025 (Happy New Year, y’all). Let’s not waste more energy on him; that’s his fuel. Things might change if we ignore his childish actions and shift our focus elsewhere. After all, as we say in Greece, ‘Υπάρχουν κι αλλού πορτοκαλιές που κάνουν πορτοκάλια.’ 🍊#WordPress

#WordPress wouldn’t be where it is today without #ACF, the page builders (especially WP Bakery & Elementor in recent years), and most importantly, the #COMMUNITY. Without these three ingredients, WordPress as software would just be a staging/beta for the .com SaaS.

I would love to see a poll instead of that pizza question in the #WordPress .org login form. Let’s vote…

It’s time to start planning alternative #WordPress related events that are independent of WordPress Central. We also need to start discussing how to make life easier for speakers and organisers at these events; speakers should at least have part, if not all, of their expenses covered.

The Supreme Leader lost the (first) fight. He threw a tantrum, referenced GDPR, and left the chat. How mature!

I’m SO glad to see more and more agencies from the #WordPress ecosystem recognising how great #Shopify is!

A few days ago, we released the Aftermath of #WordCamp Larissa: larissa.wordcamp.org/2024/the-aft.... It was a small event (sold out at 240 tickets due to limits) but incredibly successful, giving back nearly €2.4k to the community/central. 🎉

Interesting things are happening in the #WordPress plugin repository… unfortunately, not the good kind.

This year at #WordCamp Larissa , we used multiple screens to display the schedule on the event day. The challenge was also to showcase our sponsors and rotate through various pages without physically going to each screen to reload or change the webpage.

I’m stepping down as a #WordPress #meetup organiser. I know it won’t make much of a difference, but it felt like the right decision after everything that’s been happening in the last couple of months. And no, it’s not just about the

Last weekend, we wrapped up #WordCamp #Larissa, and I’m thrilled to say it was a huge success! 🎉 I was honoured to be one of the organisers, pouring my energy into making this event unforgettable. It was incredible to see some of the ideas I contributed come to life and be embraced by the community.
