I more than happy to reveal that I am currently functioning as head of state of the Open Internet Site Alliance (OWA), standing for the WordPress Foundation. The Alliance combines the neighborhood organizations behind Drupal , Joomla! , TYPO 3 , and WordPress to promote for open source and share techniques that profit their jobs. I stand for the WordPress Structure in this function, which rotates among the Alliance’s members.
WordPress announced its involvement in the Alliance in 2024 , building on our collaborate with Drupal, Joomla!, and TYPO 3 to respond to the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act While numerous open resource tasks focus on underlying digital infrastructure, our web content administration systems power the sites where companies reach customers and offer services and products. We asked policymakers to represent that financial role when establishing safety and security demands, while respecting how communities of developers, translators, educators, and other contributors develop and preserve the software application. We share a belief that every person need to have the freedom to use, transform, and share the devices they depend on.
This commitment to openness builds on efforts such WordPress’s recent signing of the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter Our goal to equalize posting implies providing anybody a voice and welcoming every person to contribute. Collaborating with various other areas places those values right into practice beyond WordPress, supporting the liberties that make involvement feasible. I welcome you to read the Open up Site Alliance charter to read more about the commitments its members share and just how the Partnership jobs.
