This “Now” page was inspired by Derek Sivers and Afshana Diya. I know Stephanie Booth (blogging for 26 years on Climb to the Stars) created the Now page after seeing mine.
If you have your own site, you should make one too.

February 2026
- Mentorship continues for the 3 WordCamps (see note in January)
- See my note in January about my aunt. Lots of painful decisions on what to keep, what to give away and what to throw away.
- I applied as a speaker for WordCamp Torino, with the same talk I applied for WCEU. If I’m selected for both, I’ll give the talk in Italian at WCTorino.
- Ongoing contribution for GatherPress: we finally see some movement on the WordPress Leadership and Meta Team for a future integration.
January 2026
- My aunt passed away on 14 January. She was like a second mother to me. My brother and I were like her children. On top of the pain, 4 months of paperwork and 2 months of emptying her apartment followed. That was hard.
- “Event-supporter” (aka mentor) for the upcoming WordCamp Nice, WordCamp Mannheim and WordCamp Bretagne.
- WordCamp Europe 2026: I applied as a speaker and as a volunteer (Note also on “Why not as an organiser for 2026” in my post from last June)
- I published this blog post as I think it’s important to voice it: Everyone is welcome
- Some rethink on Web Presence Care, as I want to move away from WordPress maintenance/care plans offer. Will stay on hold for now, or mixed with the Interaction.Site membership
- Some work on Interaction.Site. I removed PaidMemberships Pro and provide subscriptions with FluentCart ¤ and FluentCommunity ¤.
