![]() ![]() Well, and with that, I’d like to welcome Channing to the WordPress Briefing. She is joining us to share some behind the scenes intel on what’s going into the 6.0 release, her role in that process, and then we’ll just kind of see how the conversation goes from there. She’s a design director at Automattic and has been working on the WordPress project as a full-time sponsored contributor since January, 2021. So Channing is a product and visual designer based in Brooklyn, New York. And since we’re looking at a release trivia, kind of hidden bits of how software is made, I actually have a guest with me today, Channing Ritter. We have a good group of people who are around helping us make sure that this is doable and the best thing that we can offer to all of our users.Īnd so, yeah, two-person sign-off, that is the little bit of release process trivia that you never knew you needed. Most of the time, those qualified contributors are lead developers of the project, but not always. We have a two-person sign-off rule that’s been around for about as long as I can remember, but lets things be added late in the release cycle, as long as there are two sign-offs from qualified contributors. That is generally true for WordPress as well, but in true open source fashion, there is a caveat built in that helps us to get in last-minute, vital changes from contributors. And they can either start testing their products on it, or they can figure out what new things they need to be able to teach their clients, whichever is most relevant to them. That way you can call in your designers, developers, and anyone else who builds things for others using your software. ![]() ![]() If you’re not super familiar with the way release cycles work, this is the point in the process where the code should pretty much be done changing. It marks the beginning of what is called the RC period, or release candidate period, for the current major release of the WordPress CMS. Hello everyone, and welcome to the WordPress Briefing, the podcast where you can catch quick explanations of the ideas behind the WordPress open source project, some insight into the community that supports it, and get a small list of big things coming up in the next two weeks. Beginner’s Guide to Contributing, Josepha Haden Chomphosy.Have a question you’d like answered? You can submit them to either written or as a voice recording. Thank you, Manu and all the great artists who inspire us to be the change we want to see in the world.In the thirtieth episode of the WordPress Briefing, Executive Director Josepha Haden Chomphosy and special guest Channing Ritter give listeners a sneak peek into the WordPress 6.0 release ahead of the Release Candidate 1 (RC1). This is our time and the world is our family. Let's plant the seeds of freedom for all of humanity. Music can plant the first seed of freedom but it will take all of us to make it grow into positive things for the good of everyone. This new PFC Song Around The World, titled, “Seeds of Freedom” with Manu Chao, speaks to what he taught me way back when-music is not passive and neither is change. Musicians can use the microphone to represent the people who have no voice and also as a tool to educate their audience about what is happening in this world. We need the school teacher, the fisherman, the taxi driver, everyone. The producers of the show asked Manu if he thought music could change the world and his response (from what I remember) was: "Yes, but our planet is so desperate that we need everybody. I've learned many lessons from Manu throughout the years, but one lesson I learned way back when in the studio recording him for The Henry Rollins Show and listening to his rare interview for the program stands out. Instead, his music, like that of Peter Tosh and Bob Marley, allows you to confront injustice and find positive paths forward for all of humanity. He is a voice for so many without a voice and his music doesn’t shy away from reality. Since the moment I met him I have always admired him and his conviction in both music and life to what he believes is right for the world. I had met Manu a few times before and he had performed on our PFC version of Bob Marley’s “One Love” around the world. The powerful message of this song -that everyone is connected and has the power to plant the seeds to a better future for all human beings-resonates with us and we hope it does with you as well.Ī word from PFC co-founder and producer Mark Johnson:Ībout ten years ago I was recording and mixing the music for The Henry Rollins Show in downtown Los Angeles which featured amazing musical guests ranging from Ben Harper to Slayer, but one guest I will never forget is Manu Chao. This Friday, we're excited to share an all-new Song Around The World with you, "Seeds of Freedom," written by our friend Manu Chao. ![]()
