[You ever find a great blog post in your drafts and think ‘damn that’s way too late to post!’? Sod it, YOLO!] The inaugural WordCamp Asia was held in Bangkok Thailand from the 17th to the 19th of February 2023, and Crowd Favorite sent myself (Ant) and Karim to represent the business on this stage….

Brad and I had already talked online about IPR and contracts for WordPress development (it’s an ongoing trope in my work as Commercial Director – the compatability of the GPL and commercial business is, well,… Read more »
Graham is a tremendously good sport and was our first victim subject for a podcast in Seville. It was great that his area of expertise was so high profile in WCEU this year – his consulting firm Coolfields specialises in accessibility, and with all the UX and API work going on in WordPress right now,… Read more »
