Julian Song - Organising #WCAsia 23, 24, 25 & 27

miyoshitakayuki.com/2026/04/16/wor… WordCamp Asia 2026 でインドに行ってきました

4月13日，一名博主称，同样是航天员照片，NASA拍的像科幻电影海报，而我们的却像是县城里的家电促销广告。 让我感到震撼的不是火箭，而是四名宇航员的照片，神板岩蓝的渐变背景，伦勃朗式的测光，哈苏中画幅相机拍出的质感，那不像证件照，更像是文艺复兴时的油画... 对比中国2016-19年的航天海报，博主说，我觉得这不是审美差异，这是审美断层。不是因为穷，而是我们没有真正尊重过审美。 1966年开始，美国变成了资产阶级原罪，美术课被取消，谈美色变。画人体是流氓，穿裙子是臭美。我们不只毁了教材，我们是切断了一个民族感知美的神经，这种创伤遗传了三代人。 今天的航天宣传为什么只能拼凑素材，因为我们的设计师在成长过程中，美术课永远被数学课占用，他们的审美记忆是断裂的是饥饿的。我们的航天宣传感觉是技术员兼职做的，可能一张海报就要经过七八个部门审批。不出错，政治正确比做的好更重要。 我们的海报里，你只能看到任务完成。这种审美贫困正在反噬我们，当我们的火箭已经能登录火星，我们的视觉表达，却还在用二十年前的素材库。我们赢得了技术参数，却输掉了讲述人类情感的话语权。我们羡慕NASA的高级感，不是羡慕相机，而是羡慕那个允许美的存在，并且愿意为美付费的土壤

We like to invite everyone to enjoy the WordCamp and experience the city.

全然呟けてませんが、4月9日から11日にかけてインドでWordCamp Asia 2026があります。私にとってWordCampは特別なもので、Asiaは特に世界のあちこちにWordPress Meetupがあって小さくてもずっと続いていたりして、そういうみんなと繋がれる機会だったりしてます。 asia.wordcamp.org/2026/ #WCAsia

I’ve been pretty quiet about the @automattic and @wpengine drama. Much love to you all. With that said, the hate I see directed towards @photomatt is wrong. Frankly, WP Engine has benefited a lot from @WordPress, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask for them to invest more.

Introducing the Zeel Thakkar Memorial Scholarship. A fully funded opportunity for women from India & Nepal to attend #WCAsia2026 in Mumbai (Apr 9–11). Honoring Zeel’s spirit by helping more women join the community. 💙 Apply or support the scholarship: buff.ly/8ey2zzq #WCAsia #WordPress #OpenSource

⚠️ WooCommerce rebranded last year. Maturity or survival strategy? AI is killing simple plugins. Shopify is winning the branding war. The rules are changing fast. We asked WooCommerce pros where the platform is headed: buff.ly/4za78ax #WooCommerce #eCommerce #AI

My statement on MACC’s public search notice as a wanted man. I’d like to iterate that I’m not Jho Low nor am I in Macau. This is plain and simple using the largesse of the state against a nobody like me. I’m not a politician, tycoon, or an influencer. Read here:

Show us a better eCommerce core than this! We'll wait! 😉 It's all up for grabs with a one-time lifetime purchase! Starting at $249 no cap 😁

Behind every line of WordPress code is a human story 💛 Meet contributors like @krupajnanda, @JulianSongss, SH Sajal Chowdhury, and @yugi5002—and discover how small steps turned into meaningful impact. Your story could start at #ContributorDay, WordCamp Asia 2026. 👉 Read more: asia.wordcamp.org/2026/contribut… #WCAsia #WordPress #OpenSource

@chiaki_kouno Very nice portrait photo!

@JulianSongss I totally agree! Thanks for the kind words about the patterns my teammates created 🙌 I’ve just refreshed my personal site using block patterns on the top page 🙂 chiakikouno.com/en/

個人サイトを必死のパッチでリニューアル中。WordPressのフルサイト編集とパターンでガツガツ進むから、コンテンツ充実させる方に時間を使うやで〜

@chiaki_kouno This is the most comprehensive and beautiful crafted block pattern library I had seen.

めっちゃ素敵なポートフォリオ向けトップページのパターンがある🙌　まるっとコピペしちゃうぞ patterns.vektor-inc.co.jp/vk-patterns/po… #WordPress #フルサイト編集

A huge shoutout to these leaders for expanding the community map! With this incredible track record of success and growth, let's hope we can bring WordCamp Asia (WCA) to Malaysia in the coming year! 🇲🇾
