Some of my comments on make.wordpress.org
I participate to discussions more in the main “Making WordPress” Slack workspace, but want to mention some important discussions here:
- Comment on Current challenges of WordPress Events, 4 June 2024
- The GatherPress proposal, 22 January 2024 (and see more on my blog post) and our update on 5 September 2024 (update on the I’m sorry, I was wrong blog post)
- About local communities Slack workspaces, 27 March 2024, 14 December 2023, 11 December 2023 (update on the I’m sorry, I was wrong blog post)
- About the regional WordCamp’s policy: 4 February 2023, 19 March 2022, 10 November 2017
These discussions participated to a relaxed policy for regional events (We could name our one “Switzerland” again) and later to the NextGen events pilot program, then integrating different types of events under the simple events name - About a fr_CH locale: 1 August 2020

18 December 2024 on Sabina Ionescu wrote on the Themeisle blog and mentioned the comment I made on the WordPress Slack about the new checkbox to login to wordpress.org. Let’s All Laugh Together, Or Not Laugh at All: An Essay on Pineapples, WordPress and Humor
My full message on Slack says:
“Could the .org login box be changed to something a bit more serious? Maybe something like “I adhere to the Community Code of Conduct” so everyone is following the code.
I understand the pizza joke and I am relieved that the legal implications of the previous one are gone (see my concerns about legal implications on my blog), but the WordPress community must look a bit more serious and not have newcomers scratching their heads… We are the community and people (meetup attendees, end-users, customers, etc) ask us (who are more involved here) about what is happening and they need trust. Thanks a lot
9 December 2024 on the WPTavern, on Jessica Lyschik Wins the WordPress Speed Build Challenge Against Matt Mullenweg
Jessica, the Co-Lead for the Twenty Twenty-Four Default Theme, prioritized accessibility during the live event impressing the audience and prompting Patricia BT to comment, “Jessica is so good at accessibility, I think the whole Greyd team is btw (and shoutout to Anne-Mieke as well).”

21 August 2024, I received a recommendation on LinkedIn by Hari Shanker R.
“I have worked closely with Patricia since 2022 on the WordPress project, where she has been an active contributor and a leader. We collaborated in the WordPress Contributor Working Group and the Community Team. Patricia has played a key role in WordCamp Europe, the flagship WordPress conference in Europe, where she led the volunteer team in 2024 and successfully brought the event to Switzerland for 2025, which itself shows her dedication and passion. Beyond event organization, Patricia supports the WordPress project in many ways, including facilitating the official WordPress Mentorship Program and backing the GatherPress project. She excels in community building and is a natural connector, with exceptional people skills and diligence. Her leadership, communication abilities, and multilingual proficiency make her a valuable asset to any organization. Above all, Patricia’s strong values and personal integrity set her apart.”
