Dan Sheerman 💙

We appreciate @jdevalk and @karimmarucchi thoughtful call for constructive conversation, change and evolved leadership within the WordPress community. Moments of disruption challenge all of us to reflect and to act. WordPress’s success as the most widely used CMS is not the achievement of any one person, or a single piece of open-source code. It is the result of a global community - thousands of developers, agencies, businesses, and others – who have invested their time, talent, trust and resources in advocating for, supporting and building the global WordPress ecosystem and technology. It is the community that has given WordPress its strength and where its future lies. For the entirety of our existence, our mission has been clear: to deliver a reliable, secure and scalable platform, supporting wider adoption and growth of WordPress. That’s a mission we take seriously. We are committed to working with Joost, Karim, and other respected voices in the community to ensure WordPress’s future is stronger than ever. This requires collaboration, transparency, and action—and we stand ready to offer ideas, technology and support as we move forward together.
