In response to Matt Mullenweg’s “WordCamp Canada Talk”
Questions in response to Matt's townhall at WCEH: What role do you see WordPress, either in core or through plugins, playing to help people reclaim their online identity and make ‘publish once, syndicate everywhere’ a mainstream reality? How can WordPress and the open web help rebuild that trust?https://jeffpaul.com/2025/11/reblog-matt-mullenweg-wordcamp-canada-talk/
I just did a final update for the #WCUS ticket sales data in my post on #WordCamp attendance.
https://kraftner.com/en/blog/wordcamp-attendance-as-community-health-indicator/
The final number of tickets sold is 1200, compared to 1928 the year before, so the overall pattern stands.
Make of it what you will. But personally the fact that besides mentioning plenty of stats in https://wordpress.tv/2025/09/03/keynote-and-qa/ this wasn't mentioned by Matt to me shows that he probably also realizes that this might be a problem.
