Matt announces WordPress Foundation is Live
It looks like Matt and company have been busy getting things lined up for the WordPress Foundation, a non-profit with the goal:
"to ensure free access, in perpetuity, to the projects we support"
From the About page:
The WordPress Foundation is a charitable organization founded by Matt Mullenweg to further the mission of the WordPress open source project: to democratize publishing through Open Source, GPL software.
The point of the foundation is to ensure free access, in perpetuity, to the projects we support. People and businesses may come and go, so it is important to ensure that the source code for these projects will survive beyond the current contributor base, that we may create a stable platform for web publishing for generations to come. As part of this mission, the Foundation will be responsible for protecting the WordPress, WordCamp, and related trademarks. A 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the WordPress Foundation will also pursue a charter to educate the public about WordPress and related open source software.
I have long been a fan of WordPress, and now even more so. I am always amazed at the things that Matt and company come up with to move forward the power of WordPress.
For all those true WordPress geeks out there, the new site is running the WordPress 3.0 development version.
WordPress 2.7 Delayed, beta available
The good folks at WordPress are working hard to get all the bugs out of the WordPress release coming, but they have worked out enough to make a Beta 2 that you can download from WordPress.org.
The expected release date is now the end of Novemeber.
One Week To Go
Back on September 27th Matt Mullenweg, founder of WordPress and Automattic, stopped by Provo, Utah for WordCamp. What a great event! One of the things Matt talked about while there with us in Provo, was WordPress 2.7 and some of the great features coming to the system, including but not limited to:
- Keyboard Shortcuts
- Sticky Posts
- One Click Plugin Installs
Well we are now just 1 week away from WordPress 2.7 hitting the streets and being ready for deployment. Are you ready for the update? Have you backed up your data? If not I would get to it.
