There were lots of great conversations at #WPLDN last night! Thank you to everyone who attended. And a special thanks to @louisetowler.com, @markwilkinson.dev, and @keithdevon.com for speaking, two great sessions.

If you're early for #WPLDN tonight, the team will be at the Flat Iron Square from 15:00

I took the plunge and went all electric with the car. I've been running a plug-in petrol hybrid for a while and have seen it work for my lifestyle. Unexpected bonus... 0-60 in 5.4 seconds in a family estate πŸš€

I'm looking forward to this month's #WPLDN. It'll also be a personal celebration, too... 45 trips around the sun! β˜€οΈ

Tonight's #WPLDN might one of the tougher ones for me. I'm hoping we can stimulate thoughtful dialogue, balanced perspectives, and encourage a constructive exploration of the challenges and opportunities in the #WordPress community.

First #WPLDN of 2025!

We'll be opening the event registration shortly #WPLDN

Would you be willing to participate in a panel discussion at @wpldn.uk on January 30 to discuss the current events in #WordPress? We're adjusting the content of this event to open up opportunities for this discussion. Feel free to DM me.

Announcement from @automattic.com - their weekly contributions to #WordPress will reduce to 45 hours per week. "To recalibrate and ensure our efforts are as impactful as possible, Automattic will reduce its sponsored contributions to the WordPress project." automattic.com/2025/01/09/a...

I used Pagefind on my personal site to test it. I'm impressed! Pagefind is a fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your users’ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure. pagefind.app

So it seems that: πŸ”§ helping to remove 1k vulnerable plugins from the repo in October(and many more during all the years) 🐞 creating a bug bounty and mVDP for WordPress πŸŽ‰ sponsoring events βž• and much more is not contributing enough. Cool, cool... x.com/OliverSild/...

We're looking for speakers to join #WPLDN through 2025. If you have something to share about #WordPress, we'd love to hear from you

Lots of individuals from the #WordPress community have joined over here, which has been great. But few of the bigger companies in the space are here. It makes recognition of them through event sponsorship like #WPLDN a little tricky. They're all still over on X, where I don't want to be.

πŸ” Locked in ✍️ We are delighted to announce World Rugby Player of the Year Ellie Kildunne has signed a new contract with Harlequins. #COYQ

#WPLDN is a great place to share your knowledge with an engaged audience. Interested in speaking, register now. Have questions, I'm here.

I haven't made a single #WordCamp in 2024. Any recommendations I should focus on in 2025?

What are the pitfalls and the things we should discuss more when selling premium #WordPress plugins?

Last week's final #WPLDN of the year was full of fun, heckling, prizes (some great, some not so great), and amazing people! A big thank you to all who attended and made it what it was.

Last week's #WPLDN was a highlight in the events calendar! Lots to juggle, but so much fun The Speed Build was a bit of fun, but I screwed it up! This was the result of my trying in 30 minutes playground.wordpress.net?blueprint-ur... BTW how cool is it we can share #WordPress Playground like this

Any wonderful #WordPress companies out there looking to support in-person events? Can I offer you #WPLDN - London Meetup. We've got a great community, regular events & plans for 2025. Please find out more here: www.wpldn.uk/sponsor/ Reply to me here if you need more info. Thank you so much!

I have a lot of gratitude that @wpldn.uk is in a position to be able to give away a MacBook Air to one lucky attendee tonight. It's been a long journey with #WPLDN, plenty of ups and downs. Today is one of those ups for sure!

Hundreds of #GoldenTickets ready for tomorrow's @wpldn.uk! Good luck to everyone that entered their #WPLDN Golden Ticket, a brand new MacBook Air is waiting for one lucky winner πŸ€ join @nathanwrigley.com, @smartyweb.bsky.social, @jamiemarsland.bsky.social, and me from 18:30

David Darke recently presented a session @wpldn.uk titled "How to increase recurring revenue in your agency." Catch the full session here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHdO... #WPLDN #Agency #RecurringRevenue

I'm looking forward to #WPLDN tomorrow. It's going to be a busy one! If anyone is up for giving us a little help setting it up, that would be greatly appreciated. The venue has an event before ours, so it's a tight 30-minute turnaround.
