A collective of former #WordPress #developers and contributors backed by #LinuxFoundation launched FAIR Package Manager, a new and independent distribution system for trusted WordPress #plugins and #themes.
This is a response to recent controversy after legal conflict between commercial WordPress hosting providers #Automattic and #WPEngine, after former banned the latter's access to the WordPress platform used by all WordPress sites to keep plugins and themes up-to-date.

Heugelijk en spannend nieuws! Ik mag spreken op Open Source Summit Europe 2025. Het praatje dat ik heb ingediend gaat over de noodzaak van het doorontwikkelen van/ contribueren aan de publiccode.yml standaard.

Als we het Europese software ecosysteem in kaart willen brengen moeten zorgen dat het inzichtelijk is wat het stukje software precies doet waar je naar kijkt.

Daarnaast is er een cultuurverandering nodig; we moeten af van de not-invented-here mentaliteit.

You would expect that #LinuxFoundation lived up to their own credo and that their own tools would thus be sustainable open-source.

Not so much looks like. They say: "You do the coding. LFX does the managing"

> Fast-track your open source project development with integrated PROPRIETARY tools built to streamline operations, track project health, scale community engagement, and plan for long-term sustainability.

I added the missing word.
