0:00:04.051,0:00:06.431
Good morning, everybody!

0:00:07.091,0:00:09.951
Glad to see you all fully recovered from[br]the party last night.

0:00:10.739,0:00:12.649
A party so good it broke the plumbing.

0:00:14.371,0:00:15.941
I don't know what that means...

0:00:15.941,0:00:19.290
You guys are full of it. No, I'm kidding.

0:00:19.790,0:00:21.629
Just kidding!

0:00:22.179,0:00:25.529
I am very proud and honored and privileged to [br]be in front of you this morning

0:00:25.989,0:00:28.990
at the 9th WordCamp San Francisco.

0:00:28.990,0:00:30.621
(crowd cheering)

0:00:30.621,0:00:33.422
(applause)

0:00:34.602,0:00:35.915
Eleven years ago,

0:00:35.915,0:00:39.328
when WordPress started,[br]co-founded it with Mike Little,

0:00:39.328,0:00:41.693
no idea that it would ever be like this

0:00:41.693,0:00:46.723
and this is, I think, officially, the largest[br]WordCamp San Francisco we've ever had.

0:00:46.723,0:00:50.023
With the three ticket releases selling out[br]same day, each time.

0:00:50.023,0:00:52.952
So, you guys were good at [br]clicking that button really fast.

0:00:52.952,0:00:54.251
(laughter)

0:00:54.931,0:00:56.423
All over the world this year..

0:00:56.423,0:00:58.387
Oh! my name is [br]Matt Mullenweg by the way, it's nice to meet you.

0:00:58.387,0:00:59.651
(laughter)

0:01:00.131,0:01:01.103
All over the world this year

0:01:01.103,0:01:04.255
There are now going to be 81 WordCamps in 2014

0:01:04.255,0:01:06.037
More than one per week

0:01:06.317,0:01:07.627
It's funny because

0:01:07.627,0:01:11.277
the first WordCamp we intended [br]to be a template for others

0:01:12.977,0:01:16.309
That other people would sort of take it[br]BarCamp style and start making them

0:01:16.309,0:01:19.245
but in fact, the first year[br]there was just one WordCamp

0:01:19.245,0:01:20.701
and then it really started to pick up, with

0:01:20.701,0:01:22.899
the second one I believe [br]coming in Argentina.

0:01:22.899,0:01:25.689
San Francisco has always held a special [br]place in my heart though,

0:01:25.689,0:01:28.799
for those of your who are WordCamp organizers,[br]you'll appreciate this.

0:01:28.799,0:01:31.019
This is the post which started WordCamp.

0:01:31.019,0:01:33.709
It wasn't called WordCamp San Francisco, [br]it was just called WordCamp

0:01:33.709,0:01:34.729
because there was only one.

0:01:34.729,0:01:36.605
But basically a month before,

0:01:36.935,0:01:38.481
posted less than a month before,

0:01:38.481,0:01:40.359
about three and a half weeks before, I said

0:01:40.359,0:01:42.109
We don't have a venue, a schedule...

0:01:42.109,0:01:43.529
(laughter)

0:01:44.049,0:01:44.839
All we have is a date,

0:01:44.839,0:01:46.479
but we'll figure it out between now and then

0:01:46.689,0:01:49.645
and "BarCamp-style" was [br]code phrase for last minute,

0:01:50.285,0:01:50.951
and we did.

0:01:50.951,0:01:53.639
We came together in a [br]very cute venue in San Francisco

0:01:53.639,0:01:55.749
called the "Swedish American Music Hall".

0:01:57.319,0:01:59.899
That was it, you could see our A/V system [br]was very sophisticated then.

0:02:00.749,0:02:03.939
The wire like hanging down[br]going to a little projector

0:02:03.939,0:02:06.969
We kinda had to bring everything in, [br]including internet..

0:02:06.969,0:02:09.219
and you notice the fan in the corner there?

0:02:09.559,0:02:11.639
The A/C system was very sophisticated.

0:02:11.639,0:02:14.999
And the number one complaint though, was[br]not about the A/V, about the anything

0:02:14.999,0:02:17.019
certainly not about the barbeque, [br]it was very good,

0:02:17.399,0:02:19.215
it was about the chairs!

0:02:19.545,0:02:21.031
So I hope as you sit in these comfortable chairs,

0:02:21.031,0:02:22.353
that you appreciate it.

0:02:22.433,0:02:23.505
(laughter)

0:02:24.525,0:02:26.252
Over the years, it's really grown.

0:02:26.252,0:02:28.299
We've now been in Mission Bay for 7 years.

0:02:28.299,0:02:30.307
And there's been lots of sunglasses

0:02:31.317,0:02:32.857
lots more sunglasses

0:02:32.857,0:02:33.747
(laughter)

0:02:34.297,0:02:36.087
See that guy right there with sunglasses?

0:02:36.127,0:02:38.867
What is it about WordCamp San Francisco[br]and sunglasses?

0:02:38.867,0:02:40.975
We even had Google Glasses!

0:02:40.975,0:02:41.783
(laughter)

0:02:42.623,0:02:45.253
We've seen the rise and fall of different platforms

0:02:45.303,0:02:49.146
We've seen the growth and regression of[br]lead developer's hair...

0:02:49.256,0:02:50.641
(laughter)

0:02:50.921,0:02:53.156
(applause)

0:02:57.046,0:02:58.483
We've gathered around and ate barbeque

0:02:58.483,0:03:01.603
or sometimes salad [br]as these odd people are doing.

0:03:02.233,0:03:04.673
We've got Comic Sans on stage.

0:03:05.913,0:03:08.243
We even have had robots attend.

0:03:08.283,0:03:10.373
Luckily this year, we have Gary in person.

0:03:10.373,0:03:13.283
I think he's downstairs actually. [br]Hello Gary, downstairs.

0:03:13.283,0:03:14.593
But we got him in person.

0:03:14.593,0:03:17.629
But all in all, it's been a pretty incredible run.

0:03:17.889,0:03:20.225
7 years now at Mission Bay.

0:03:20.665,0:03:23.703
So, it's bittersweet, and it's with some sadness

0:03:23.703,0:03:26.645
that I tell you that this will be our LAST EVER

0:03:26.645,0:03:27.537
event here.

0:03:27.687,0:03:29.579
(silence)

0:03:29.909,0:03:31.093
We've outgrown it.

0:03:31.263,0:03:33.537
I mean, there was[br]not an empty seat in this whole house,

0:03:33.687,0:03:35.245
and I expect that downstairs is similarly full.

0:03:37.063,0:03:38.531
But I have something new to announce,

0:03:38.531,0:03:41.101
something we've been talking about on and[br]off for a few years

0:03:41.101,0:03:43.381
and much like the original WordCamp San Francisco

0:03:43.381,0:03:46.871
it doesn't entirely have a name,[br]a date, or a place yet.

0:03:48.331,0:03:49.612
Next year we're going to do a WordCamp..

0:03:49.612,0:03:51.913
let's call it US, just as a placeholder.

0:03:52.733,0:03:54.666
So, taking kind of what do in San Francisco

0:03:54.846,0:03:56.626
which has the first WordCamp,

0:03:57.076,0:03:59.146
the WordCamp before we put cities after the name

0:03:59.266,0:04:02.406
and sort of what was pioneered by WordCamp Europe,

0:04:02.446,0:04:05.386
try to do an event that brings people from all over the world together

0:04:05.606,0:04:06.626
and is a bit bigger.

0:04:06.886,0:04:08.612
Again, we're bursting at the seams here.

0:04:08.662,0:04:11.368
Literally I'm glad there's no fire inspectors here.

0:04:13.266,0:04:16.216
I think we can do something that has a [br]bit more room

0:04:16.296,0:04:17.759
for more presentations,

0:04:17.829,0:04:18.841
more people,

0:04:19.041,0:04:21.053
more exhibitors, more everything!

0:04:21.053,0:04:22.580
So, we're going to try this

0:04:22.580,0:04:24.457
uh, next year and we'll see how it goes.

0:04:24.537,0:04:25.373
And like it says,

0:04:25.373,0:04:28.639
name, location, and date to be determined.

0:04:29.629,0:04:33.156
One thing that we do every year is talk a little[br]about the survey.

0:04:33.266,0:04:36.476
And this year, we had over 33,000 responses

0:04:36.476,0:04:38.606
to the survey, which kind of blew me away.

0:04:39.296,0:04:40.636
Again we don't really promote it that much

0:04:40.636,0:04:42.976
we just put a link[br]at the top of WordPress.org.

0:04:43.416,0:04:45.946
One thing that won't be surprising[br]to many of you is that

0:04:46.166,0:04:48.096
is very international,[br]about two-thirds, about

0:04:48.096,0:04:51.326
actually three-quarters[br]of the survey responses

0:04:51.326,0:04:52.696
were from people outside the US.

0:04:54.036,0:04:56.396
And 2014 was actually a milestone year

0:04:56.396,0:04:58.066
for WordPress in this regard.

0:04:58.236,0:04:59.676
I think that we will look back

0:04:59.896,0:05:01.846
in the decades to come,[br]

0:05:01.926,0:05:03.916
as 2014 the first year

0:05:03.916,0:05:05.536
that non-English downloads[br]

0:05:05.536,0:05:07.176
surpassed English downloads

0:05:08.226,0:05:09.015
for the first time.

0:05:09.235,0:05:10.834
(applause)

0:05:14.644,0:05:17.443
This makes sense, for those of you who were at[br]Nacin's presentation yesterday.

0:05:17.443,0:05:19.933
He talked about how only 10% of the[br]world speaks English, and

0:05:19.933,0:05:22.273
only 5% of the world as their first language

0:05:22.503,0:05:23.609
so, over time,

0:05:24.779,0:05:26.127
I really hope that

0:05:26.257,0:05:29.075
the usage of WordPress mirrors that,

0:05:29.075,0:05:31.783
and that someday, when we talk about[br]internationalization, it won't just be about

0:05:31.783,0:05:34.073
English being translated to other countries

0:05:34.073,0:05:35.976
but figuring out how to take plugins

0:05:35.976,0:05:36.675
in Chinese

0:05:36.675,0:05:37.281
in Russian

0:05:37.281,0:05:37.937
in Japanese.

0:05:38.167,0:05:39.363
and translate them back[br]to English.

0:05:40.303,0:05:41.373
That's the plan at least.

0:05:42.213,0:05:45.743
One of the things we also talk about a lot[br]is WordPress usage as a CMS.

0:05:45.983,0:05:48.893
In fact, who here uses WordPress as a CMS?

0:05:50.047,0:05:51.377
Pretty much everyone.

0:05:51.377,0:05:55.017
What you might not know is that's been[br]declining every year.

0:05:56.787,0:05:58.457
But what's taken its place?

0:05:58.906,0:06:00.969
So it's kinda interesting to see this

0:06:00.969,0:06:03.072
because what has started to eat away

0:06:03.072,0:06:04.786
at people using WordPress[br]mostly as a CMS,

0:06:04.786,0:06:07.550
so they use as a CMS all the time,

0:06:07.670,0:06:09.248
or about half the time.

0:06:09.358,0:06:11.306
Blog has also been declining.

0:06:11.356,0:06:12.829
But people using it as an app framework[br]

0:06:12.829,0:06:14.492
is starting to take a share away from that.

0:06:14.632,0:06:17.156
So, it is the early days still, but it [br]is starting to pick up,

0:06:17.866,0:06:20.026
and I'm going to talk about this more[br]a little bit later.

0:06:20.106,0:06:23.086
Other stat I was really excited about is[br]now a full quarter of the people

0:06:23.086,0:06:24.543
who answered the survey

0:06:25.073,0:06:26.850
make their full time living from WordPress.

0:06:27.020,0:06:29.797
That was 7,539 people.

0:06:30.937,0:06:31.878
(whistle)

0:06:31.968,0:06:33.069
Yeah right?

0:06:33.299,0:06:37.352
That represents easily over a billion dollars[br]in economic activity per year.

0:06:37.392,0:06:38.605
That's really amazing,

0:06:38.605,0:06:40.101
That's bigger than the employee counts[br]

0:06:40.101,0:06:42.467
of many of the large internet giants.

0:06:42.707,0:06:44.089
So this really blew me away,

0:06:44.089,0:06:46.621
and something that I'm extremely proud of.

0:06:46.871,0:06:49.249
Also, sort of speaks to our [br]responsibility as a community

0:06:49.419,0:06:50.697
That there's now

0:06:50.717,0:06:51.568
you know,

0:06:51.708,0:06:54.419
something 7-8 times the size[br]of WordCamp San Francisco,

0:06:54.809,0:06:57.052
of people who pay their mortgages[br]and feed their families

0:07:00.260,0:07:02.780
The good and the bad is[br]pretty much the same.

0:06:57.052,0:06:59.592
and send their kids to school[br]with WordPress.

0:07:02.780,0:07:05.150
You guys love that it's easy, plugins, [br]and community.

0:07:05.150,0:07:06.560
You hate the plugins,

0:07:06.560,0:07:08.650
the themes, and the updates.

0:07:08.650,0:07:10.090
(laughter)

0:07:10.740,0:07:12.830
These are actually the last three years[br]of answers.

0:07:12.830,0:07:14.390
Plugins have gotten a little bit better.

0:07:14.820,0:07:16.490
But you still love community.

0:07:16.820,0:07:18.380
We asked how many sites people built

0:07:18.380,0:07:21.510
and actually the survey respondents alone[br]were responsible for

0:07:21.510,0:07:24.430
somewhere between half a million[br]and a million sites,

0:07:24.430,0:07:27.770
with only I think it was 6% saying that

0:07:27.770,0:07:30.540
they had only built one site[br]with WordPress.

0:07:30.540,0:07:32.680
So, WordPress is like[br]the Pringles of CMS's,

0:07:32.680,0:07:34.997
once you pop you just can't stop.

0:07:34.997,0:07:35.994
(laughter)

0:07:37.004,0:07:39.631
And also, what I thought was cool [br]was 91% of these sites,

0:07:39.631,0:07:41.731
took less than 200 hours to build.

0:07:42.550,0:07:45.170
So, a lot of these sites that are being [br]built are much easier

0:07:45.260,0:07:46.846
this isn't a platform where

0:07:47.016,0:07:47.912
you know,

0:07:47.982,0:07:49.590
it costs a hundred grand to install it

0:07:49.590,0:07:51.500
and then a hundred grand to upgrade it[br]three years later.

0:07:51.500,0:07:53.360
I mean, it's really something you can get out quickly

0:07:53.360,0:07:55.130
and stay up to date easily.

0:07:56.313,0:07:58.413
Now, those of you know, we also didn't

0:07:58.413,0:08:00.743
do a WordCamp in October last year.

0:08:00.823,0:08:02.093
We did it in July.

0:08:02.713,0:08:04.413
so, since the last WordCamp,

0:08:04.463,0:08:06.983
I didn't believe this when I first saw it either,

0:08:06.983,0:08:10.473
We've had 5 major releases of WordPress.

0:08:11.123,0:08:14.143
(applause)

0:08:17.693,0:08:20.313
Oscar, Basie, Parker, Smith, and Benny.

0:08:20.589,0:08:23.189
Five major releases, now granted, one was[br]the day after WordCamp.

0:08:23.429,0:08:25.019
So, kinda slipped in there,

0:08:25.059,0:08:27.746
but we have one more, coming in 4.1.

0:08:28.366,0:08:30.006
These releases had a ton of stuff, and

0:08:30.006,0:08:33.506
I didn't really appreciate it until I actually went back, [br]so I'd like to do that with you all.

0:08:33.566,0:08:36.236
We redid the revisions UI, in 3.6

0:08:36.236,0:08:38.316
We introduced a better post locking,

0:08:38.316,0:08:40.276
and the Twenty Thirteen Theme.

0:08:40.466,0:08:41.862
3.7 we had auto-updates,

0:08:41.862,0:08:44.828
which is one of the most significant[br]features we've introduced

0:08:44.828,0:08:46.246
in the past four or five years.

0:08:46.246,0:08:48.745
Made passwords better, and [br]improved global stuff.

0:08:48.745,0:08:52.063
3.8 which I actually personally led, was[br]chock full of things,

0:08:52.063,0:08:53.565
We had the Twenty Fourteen theme,

0:08:53.565,0:08:55.129
Colour Schemes for the first time,

0:08:55.129,0:08:56.693
a new theme browser,

0:08:56.693,0:08:57.913
the MP6 redesign,

0:08:57.913,0:08:59.613
and for the first time in history we made

0:08:59.613,0:09:01.293
WordPress's admin fully responsive.

0:09:01.293,0:09:04.373
So it worked on tablets and phones.

0:09:04.453,0:09:06.223
(applause)

0:09:08.683,0:09:09.676
I was really into that,

0:09:09.756,0:09:12.589
I was like hell or high water, [br]we're going to get this in.

0:09:12.799,0:09:14.543
3.9 we focused a lot on the WYSIWYG,

0:09:14.543,0:09:16.363
we got drag and drop images in there,

0:09:16.363,0:09:18.373
previews of the galleries,

0:09:18.373,0:09:21.063
and overall just allowing you[br]to edit images

0:09:21.063,0:09:21.970
a lot better.

0:09:21.970,0:09:23.880
And finally with 4.0, our most recent,

0:09:23.880,0:09:25.550
we redid the media library,

0:09:25.550,0:09:26.800
had rich embeds,

0:09:26.800,0:09:29.590
the new plugin browser, [br]which I'm a huge fan of,

0:09:29.590,0:09:31.130
and the improvements to the editor,

0:09:31.130,0:09:34.480
which made it, in my opinion, [br]much easier to write long posts.

0:09:34.480,0:09:37.160
I've actually been on a personal quest where

0:09:37.160,0:09:38.960
I had a 39-day streak,

0:09:39.060,0:09:40.810
I posted every single day,

0:09:41.680,0:09:43.056
I'm on new one now,

0:09:43.156,0:09:45.172
I had like 12 days,[br]yesterday I missed it so

0:09:45.242,0:09:46.784
So I'll start again tomorrow.

0:09:46.784,0:09:47.776
But, it's kinda neat.

0:09:47.806,0:09:49.880
And actually if you run Jetpack or[br]WordPress.com,

0:09:50.010,0:09:51.700
you now get a notification for how many days you

0:09:51.700,0:09:53.160
have a posting streak for.

0:09:53.160,0:09:55.380
Which is kind of a fun feature[br]if any of you

0:09:55.380,0:09:57.297
would like to try to beat my 39.

0:09:57.857,0:09:59.587
I saw Tony here somewhere, Tony is working

0:09:59.587,0:10:01.577
on it as well. He's doing a month of blogging.

0:10:02.447,0:10:03.637
(screen cuts out briefly)

0:10:04.087,0:10:05.073
There we go!

0:10:06.063,0:10:07.857
I was like aww, please[br]not another fire alarm.

0:10:08.167,0:10:09.511
(laughter)

0:10:10.271,0:10:12.376
You guys are just so hot.

0:10:12.643,0:10:14.643
Tore the building up.

0:10:15.608,0:10:18.358
Besides myself we had seven release leads.

0:10:18.708,0:10:20.038
And actually, a few of them are here in the room.

0:10:20.158,0:10:22.518
So, John, Aaron, Mark, Dion, Helen, Mike, Andrew

0:10:22.728,0:10:23.768
can you stand up?

0:10:25.567,0:10:30.813
There we go. We got Mark there, there's Aaron,

0:10:30.813,0:10:34.310
Oh, Helen right over there!

0:10:34.710,0:10:36.427
(applause)

0:10:39.357,0:10:41.465
Being a release lead is VERY difficult,

0:10:41.595,0:10:42.815
I'm sure all of these folks can attest.

0:10:43.055,0:10:46.045
And it's something that [br]we've even had people do twice

0:10:46.065,0:10:48.515
Andy on this list did it twice in this period.

0:10:48.875,0:10:52.305
We also have had a variety of new[br]contributors to WordPress

0:10:52.305,0:10:54.015
in a variety of ways.

0:10:54.095,0:10:56.305
When I say your name, please stand up if[br]you're here.

0:10:56.305,0:10:58.372
Rachel and Ryan have been working on[br]the API

0:10:58.482,0:11:00.152
Janneke on WYSIWYG,

0:11:00.457,0:11:01.467
Eric on media,

0:11:01.517,0:11:02.867
Mel on design,

0:11:02.957,0:11:05.187
Takashi is now designing TWO primary themes,

0:11:05.257,0:11:08.137
and then Weston on customizer,

0:11:08.157,0:11:08.940
and finally Kim on docs,

0:11:09.343,0:11:10.877
if you're all here please stand up.

0:11:10.947,0:11:12.410
Round of applause for y'all.

0:11:12.520,0:11:14.293
(crowd cheering)

0:11:21.303,0:11:23.234
Weston, I was liking your tweets [br]about the API too,

0:11:23.264,0:11:24.655
and the node stuff.

0:11:25.385,0:11:27.876
Also finally this year we added [br]5 new committers

0:11:28.946,0:11:31.196
Konstantin, Boone, Gary, Jeremy, and Aaron

0:11:31.476,0:11:32.586
They all here?

0:11:33.292,0:11:34.515
Put your hands in the air,

0:11:34.715,0:11:35.664
wave 'em like you just don't care..

0:11:35.684,0:11:36.443
WHOAAA!!!

0:11:36.613,0:11:38.375
How are you hiding down there?

0:11:38.445,0:11:40.207
(applause)

0:11:43.787,0:11:47.242
I can confirm that we're going to let[br]Gary out of the cage soon.

0:11:47.402,0:11:48.417
(laughter)

0:11:48.867,0:11:50.044
He's been in there for..

0:11:50.124,0:11:51.544
also, if you notice this,

0:11:53.023,0:11:54.753
We have about half looking left,

0:11:54.823,0:11:56.043
half looking right...

0:11:56.183,0:11:57.763
And then Andy is just straight on.

0:11:57.813,0:11:59.683
Staring right into your soul.

0:12:01.408,0:12:03.428
Kim is the only one[br]looking fully forward there.

0:12:03.568,0:12:04.968
So I think that means she's the new Andy.

0:12:06.028,0:12:09.118
But here, kinda everyone [br]is looking right at the camera.

0:12:09.168,0:12:11.196
So maybe there's something there,[br]that's the trick to getting commits.

0:12:11.286,0:12:12.474
(laughter)

0:12:13.744,0:12:14.823
Update your Gravatar.

0:12:16.080,0:12:22.157
All in all, we had 785 contributors[br]over those five releases.

0:12:25.587,0:12:27.384
(applause)

0:12:31.724,0:12:33.793
Including one that we bamboozled,[br]

0:12:33.843,0:12:35.352
into leading another release.

0:12:35.432,0:12:36.732
John are you here?

0:12:37.642,0:12:38.669
Hey John.

0:12:38.749,0:12:40.446
(applause)

0:12:45.296,0:12:47.448
John will be leading release version 4.1,

0:12:47.548,0:12:49.630
which is actually coming out on December 10th.

0:12:49.710,0:12:51.753
So, thank you very much.

0:12:51.803,0:12:53.463
Other big thing over the past few years,

0:12:53.463,0:12:55.403
is that the usage of WordPress has grown a ton.

0:12:55.403,0:12:59.233
We now power over 23% of websites.

0:13:00.723,0:13:02.433
(applause)

0:13:05.833,0:13:07.233
To put that in perspective,

0:13:07.453,0:13:11.739
from 2013-2014, we grew the equivalent [br]of two Drupal market shares.

0:13:11.889,0:13:13.295
(laughter)

0:13:18.055,0:13:19.741
Activity across the board was up,

0:13:19.741,0:13:21.247
plugins were a huge boost,

0:13:21.407,0:13:26.643
We had over 6,400 added [br]for a total of 34,000 plugins in the repository.

0:13:26.963,0:13:29.493
In activity we reached 1 million commits,

0:13:29.673,0:13:32.853
Actually have brought you [br]the millionth commit here

0:13:32.973,0:13:36.406
Otto decided to make a Pluginception.[br]

0:13:36.526,0:13:38.239
Thought that was a very clever name

0:13:38.279,0:13:40.313
We're going to have to talk about[br]that donate link though.

0:13:40.313,0:13:42.803
But this was the millionth commit [br]that we had, it was a fun joke.

0:13:42.883,0:13:46.353
I love our funny commits, like Helen's song [br]and things like that.

0:13:46.403,0:13:47.363
We get some good ones in there.

0:13:47.423,0:13:49.053
Themes also were huge

0:13:49.113,0:13:52.073
and this is a real testament[br]to the work of the Theme Review Team.

0:13:52.343,0:13:55.059
We had over 684 Themes added[br]

0:13:55.199,0:13:57.425
Think about that, that's 2 a day

0:13:57.805,0:13:59.824
And in terms of theme commits,

0:13:59.874,0:14:01.453
we had over 10,000 commits

0:14:01.453,0:14:03.806
In fact, a full third of all the commits

0:14:04.006,0:14:05.269
to themes in history

0:14:05.269,0:14:07.113
happened within the last 12 months

0:14:07.363,0:14:09.933
So a round of applause for our [br]Theme Review Team and folks there

0:14:09.933,0:14:13.933
(Applause)

0:14:16.668,0:14:18.278
We didn't slack on the mobile apps either.

0:14:18.278,0:14:19.778
And especially on iOS

0:14:19.778,0:14:22.558
We went from 3 releases a year to 8 releases

0:14:22.558,0:14:23.638
in the past 12 months

0:14:23.638,0:14:25.908
for 16 total across Android and iOS

0:14:26.588,0:14:28.228
We focused a lot on these

0:14:28.228,0:14:30.628
We've improved the stability, the release cadance

0:14:30.628,0:14:34.288
And also we stopped spending so much time in some of the older platforms

0:14:35.238,0:14:37.328
There's no longer an official Nokia app

0:14:37.388,0:14:38.964
or Blackberry app

0:14:38.984,0:14:40.560
or Windows Phone app.

0:14:40.720,0:14:44.008
Sorry, both of the Windows Phone users.

0:14:44.098,0:14:45.988
(Audience Laughs)

0:14:46.705,0:14:49.915
Actually in our stats there's 30 people [br]still running the Nokia one

0:14:49.985,0:14:51.905
I don't know who those 30 people are, but...

0:14:52.495,0:14:53.355
This is a big deal.

0:14:53.375,0:14:56.085
Obviously, I don't think many people would argue

0:14:56.085,0:14:58.285
that there are going to be [br]more phones in the future

0:14:58.285,0:14:59.185
rather than fewer

0:14:59.185,0:15:01.725
In fact, this year another cool milestone,

0:15:01.725,0:15:06.885
there are now more mobile phones on Earth [br]than there are human beings

0:15:08.035,0:15:09.765
Beginning of the Singularity

0:15:12.955,0:15:15.005
The attention we've put into [br]mobile is very, very important

0:15:15.075,0:15:17.615
That, I think, will continue [br]to be a very strong theme

0:15:18.105,0:15:19.905
Also, finally, following up from last year.

0:15:19.905,0:15:22.175
You know, on stage, on this very stage last year

0:15:22.175,0:15:24.835
we announced developer.wordpress.org [br]with the code reference

0:15:24.955,0:15:28.795
I'm proud to say some time between [br]then and now it launched.

0:15:29.565,0:15:31.475
Wasn't that week like we hoped, but now

0:15:31.475,0:15:34.825
if you type in developer.wordpress.org [br]it'll redirect you to this

0:15:34.825,0:15:37.305
and you can now have a great code reference.

0:15:38.285,0:15:39.805
But y'all didn't come to know all that

0:15:39.805,0:15:42.305
you came to know what's coming next.

0:15:43.375,0:15:46.728
So here, actually, right now here at WordCamp

0:15:46.788,0:15:49.911
we have over 100 Meetup [br]and WordCamp organizers

0:15:50.291,0:15:52.715
Please stand up if you organize[br]a WordCamp or a Meetup.

0:15:52.955,0:15:53.985
Or ideally both

0:15:54.938,0:15:56.668
Look around this room.

0:15:56.995,0:15:59.895
(Audience applause)

0:16:02.515,0:16:04.525
Stay up, stay up, stay up.

0:16:06.894,0:16:09.730
Organizing a Meetup is one [br]of the hardest things to do

0:16:09.730,0:16:11.106
in terms of contributing to WordPress

0:16:11.386,0:16:13.714
Every single month you have [br]gotta come up with new stuff.

0:16:13.774,0:16:17.314
It is, I'm sure you can all attest to that, like it's not the easiest job in the World,

0:16:17.314,0:16:18.914
but I think it is one of the most impactful.

0:16:18.914,0:16:21.724
Because these monthly things that bring the community together

0:16:21.724,0:16:24.964
As we saw on the list, community [br]is one of the most important things

0:16:24.964,0:16:26.824
So I want to personally thank [br]each and every one of you

0:16:26.824,0:16:28.824
I really appreciate it.

0:16:28.960,0:16:30.870
(Audience applause)

0:16:35.092,0:16:38.212
Obviously, there's, [br]100 Meetup organizers here

0:16:38.212,0:16:39.742
Over 100 rather

0:16:39.742,0:16:42.082
They're representing 21 countries

0:16:42.082,0:16:43.872
Here at WordCamp San Francisco

0:16:43.872,0:16:47.802
International has been a really big theme [br]of both our previous releases

0:16:47.802,0:16:49.022
and what's coming.

0:16:49.202,0:16:52.442
Now, there's a lot of different ways to think about Internationalization.

0:16:52.642,0:16:54.902
Of course there's language, [br]but there's also things like

0:16:55.362,0:16:56.448
the Time Zones,

0:16:56.628,0:16:57.762
the date formats

0:16:58.022,0:16:59.416
and the settings

0:16:59.416,0:17:00.812
which right now are kinda a per-site thing

0:17:01.192,0:17:03.772
and you set them on install,[br]it's hard to change them later.

0:17:03.772,0:17:05.372
Are going to become a lot more personal

0:17:05.452,0:17:07.562
So, I think there will be a time in the future when

0:17:07.652,0:17:09.642
some of these might even be per user

0:17:09.642,0:17:12.682
And we have to tackle all the things that [br]Andy talked about in his presentation

0:17:12.682,0:17:13.572
around Internationalization.

0:17:13.682,0:17:15.412
About what to do if someone leaves a comment

0:17:16.142,0:17:17.872
in Japanese and then [br]I get the comment notification.

0:17:18.052,0:17:19.532
I should get that in English

0:17:19.852,0:17:22.202
So things like that are really important.

0:17:22.342,0:17:24.182
One of the things that [br]I am excited to announce is that

0:17:24.182,0:17:26.392
we have been in testing with language packs

0:17:26.392,0:17:29.072
for a few of our key plugins: [br]BBPress, BuddyPress, Akismet

0:17:29.372,0:17:31.662
We're going to be expanding that in early 2015.

0:17:32.022,0:17:33.515
So the promise of language packs,

0:17:33.875,0:17:35.728
those of you who are not familiar yet,

0:17:35.728,0:17:37.582
the idea that if you're a plugin or theme author

0:17:38.312,0:17:40.912
your theme or plugin can both be translated

0:17:40.982,0:17:44.912
and also have the description and everything [br]translated into lots of different languages

0:17:44.912,0:17:47.722
without you necessarily having [br]to speak those languages

0:17:47.722,0:17:50.392
or be a bottleneck for them,[br]is finally coming to fruition

0:17:50.392,0:17:51.892
We've been doing a ton of work

0:17:51.892,0:17:53.402
This is a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff.

0:17:53.402,0:17:56.922
But, I think it's going to be one of the most impactful for WordPress' growth

0:17:56.922,0:17:58.332
over the next decade

0:17:58.632,0:18:01.562
Which is also why I'm excited to finally announce

0:18:02.882,0:18:05.562
That we're going to have a fully localized Plugin and Theme directory

0:18:05.622,0:18:09.252
on all of the language subdomains and on December 10th

0:18:09.252,0:18:11.302
in WordPress 4.1 on the dashboard

0:18:12.062,0:18:13.202
(Audience applause)

0:18:19.460,0:18:22.130
What this means is that you'll be able[br]to go to your dashboard

0:18:22.130,0:18:23.650
Let's say you installed in Spanish

0:18:23.650,0:18:26.120
You'll be able to type whatever you're looking for

0:18:26.120,0:18:28.570
You'll be able to type "anti-spam" in Spanish.

0:18:28.570,0:18:31.540
I don't know how to say that. [br]Does anyone...Spanish?

0:18:32.040,0:18:34.400
"Anti-spamo?" I don't think so.

0:18:34.639,0:18:36.509
(Laughter)

0:18:38.989,0:18:40.539
We'll work on that one.

0:18:42.159,0:18:45.209
And you'll be able to get a list of all the plugins[br]that have that available.

0:18:45.209,0:18:47.619
And all the descriptions will be translated.

0:18:47.619,0:18:50.209
There will be local reviews, [br]there will be local support forums

0:18:50.209,0:18:52.239
Basically, everything that you've come to expect

0:18:52.239,0:18:55.089
from the English wordpress.org will be available

0:18:55.089,0:18:57.749
This is actually really fascinating to me, [br]because if you look at it

0:18:57.749,0:19:00.889
One of the amazing reasons that people adopt WordPress today

0:19:00.889,0:19:03.809
is the 34,000 Plugins and thousands of Themes

0:19:03.809,0:19:07.809
But these don't exist if English is not your primary language for the most part

0:19:08.539,0:19:11.109
There's for example, the Plugin Directory doesn't translate descriptions

0:19:11.319,0:19:15.589
So you have to -- maybe you can find it [br]and it'll include a language

0:19:15.589,0:19:18.729
so it'll work in your locale --- [br]but even the discovery process

0:19:18.729,0:19:22.579
is hugely prohibitive to people.

0:19:22.579,0:19:25.479
And if WordPress is gonna be a global and truly inclusive,

0:19:25.479,0:19:28.299
It means it's not just available[br]to people in English

0:19:28.299,0:19:32.299
It means that the other 95% of the world for whom[br]English is not their first language

0:19:32.299,0:19:35.499
Is just as important to have an amazing experience.

0:19:35.499,0:19:37.129
So, keep an eye out for that.

0:19:37.759,0:19:39.043
I think that it will.....

0:19:39.453,0:19:43.574
Well, it's kinda interesting now that we're having sort of these anchor WordCamps

0:19:43.574,0:19:44.664
You know there'll be one in Europe

0:19:44.664,0:19:45.634
One in America

0:19:45.640,0:19:48.240
I imagine there'll be ones in Asia [br]and Africa in the future.

0:19:48.310,0:19:49.662
Sort of pancontinental

0:19:49.772,0:19:52.549
and we'll have these 3 or 4 events per year.

0:19:52.549,0:19:55.009
and each one I could see kind of having its own thing.

0:19:55.104,0:19:56.424
Meaning, like it's own set of contributors,

0:19:56.454,0:19:57.349
own set of core committers,

0:19:57.349,0:19:58.689
own set of plugin developers

0:20:00.250,0:20:01.720
We have the potential

0:20:01.720,0:20:02.620
doing things from the web

0:20:02.620,0:20:05.730
for WordPress to be a truly global experience.

0:20:06.020,0:20:07.650
Related to all the work we've been doing on

0:20:07.710,0:20:08.660
plugins and themes,

0:20:08.660,0:20:10.180
I know we have a few plugin and theme authors

0:20:10.180,0:20:11.630
here in the audience.

0:20:11.630,0:20:13.240
We're finally going to be adding

0:20:13.240,0:20:14.270
better stats for y'all.

0:20:14.969,0:20:17.559
(applause)

0:20:18.903,0:20:19.963
(Ton Ton Ton......)

0:20:19.963,0:20:20.473
Maybe not!

0:20:20.583,0:20:21.683
Ok there it is!

0:20:22.126,0:20:23.766
It's like, maybe we're not?!

0:20:25.031,0:20:27.391
This is actually being actively worked on right now.

0:20:29.659,0:20:32.724
We've been doing a cleanup [br]of our entire stats system

0:20:32.724,0:20:33.522
And actually we've been finding some

0:20:33.522,0:20:35.752
pretty interesting data about it.

0:20:35.752,0:20:37.542
Which brings us to what I'd like to highlight

0:20:37.542,0:20:39.862
as one of the biggest challenges [br]in the WordPress world.

0:20:39.882,0:20:41.872
Today and going forward.

0:20:43.461,0:20:44.581
This is a pie chart

0:20:44.581,0:20:47.591
of the different versions of WordPress.

0:20:47.591,0:20:48.531
And as you can see,

0:20:48.531,0:20:51.681
Only about 25% is on our latest release 4.0.

0:20:51.681,0:20:55.691
Now I should say that this is infinitely better than it was before.

0:20:55.691,0:20:58.511
It used to be we basically only get new installs

0:20:58.511,0:21:00.541
in a very small percentage of all installs upgrading.

0:21:00.541,0:21:01.941
People would basically do one click

0:21:01.958,0:21:03.698
and be stuck on it forever.

0:21:04.538,0:21:06.338
But still, as you can see there's

0:21:06.338,0:21:10.908
I mean, there's a full third that still doesn't have the full mp6 redesign yet.

0:21:11.068,0:21:12.128
I feel bad for those people!

0:21:12.378,0:21:13.198
(laughter)

0:21:13.698,0:21:14.798
So working on this

0:21:14.798,0:21:16.418
is one of the most important things

0:21:16.418,0:21:17.818
we're gonna be able to do.

0:21:17.818,0:21:19.881
And actually, we have a lot of partners

0:21:19.881,0:21:21.425
and sponsors to WordCamp San Francisco here

0:21:21.535,0:21:24.395
that we're gonna be working [br]with to help us with this

0:21:24.395,0:21:25.325
and that's the web post.

0:21:25.395,0:21:26.775
As you know, a lot of major web posts

0:21:26.775,0:21:29.805
have introduced auto major version upgrades

0:21:29.915,0:21:31.675
So meaning that, you know,

0:21:31.675,0:21:33.995
you can be on the beach in Jamaica

0:21:34.095,0:21:36.985
and even if major release of WordPress comes out,

0:21:37.135,0:21:39.275
you will be upgraded when you get back.

0:21:39.305,0:21:42.065
This is really, really important 'cos when you think about it,

0:21:42.735,0:21:45.885
even the whole concept of the version numbers that we have is a little bit archaic

0:21:45.915,0:21:48.615
It kinda goes back to the days [br]of Shrink Wrap Software.

0:21:48.975,0:21:52.155
When you login to Facebook or Twitter,

0:21:52.155,0:21:53.265
or for that matter,

0:21:53.265,0:21:55.745
when you login to, you know, Squarespace

0:21:55.745,0:21:56.875
or Wiggio or Wix,

0:21:56.875,0:21:58.805
you don't think what version you're using.

0:21:58.805,0:21:59.555
Actually I take that back

0:21:59.555,0:22:00.565
With Squarespace you do,

0:22:00.615,0:22:01.575
but with others you don't!

0:22:01.655,0:22:02.755
(laughter)

0:22:02.755,0:22:04.095
They don't even really talk about versions

0:22:04.095,0:22:05.085
You just get that day's version.

0:22:05.085,0:22:09.365
You get October 26th's version of whatever software you're using.

0:22:09.465,0:22:12.115
And that is our goal for WordPress as well.

0:22:12.265,0:22:15.435
You know, as you saw updates as one of the things [br]that people weren't happy about

0:22:15.645,0:22:18.765
Our vision is to have kinda like Chrome.

0:22:18.765,0:22:20.410
You know, where you just login

0:22:20.410,0:22:22.380
and just in the background it silently

0:22:22.380,0:22:24.040
All updated, all your plugins work,

0:22:24.110,0:22:25.690
everything works, nothing breaks.

0:22:26.230,0:22:28.290
And the host have been the pioneers of this.

0:22:29.490,0:22:31.340
So already I know for a fact

0:22:31.420,0:22:33.350
GoDaddy, Bluehost and a few others

0:22:33.350,0:22:34.920
have been autoupgrading people.

0:22:35.820,0:22:37.590
We're gonna start another way of better stats

0:22:37.590,0:22:39.340
Start working with lists with these folks.

0:22:39.394,0:22:40.544
And so here are the sites

0:22:40.583,0:22:42.133
that are on older versions

0:22:42.545,0:22:44.135
Can you use your support resources?

0:22:44.169,0:22:46.569
Or your direct contact you have over these customers?

0:22:46.635,0:22:48.645
to help them get on with the latest and greatest

0:22:48.680,0:22:49.570
Benefits everyone.

0:22:49.608,0:22:50.418
Benefits WordPress.

0:22:50.821,0:22:52.713
because they're seeing all the new cool stuff

0:22:52.713,0:22:53.873
we've been working on.

0:22:55.027,0:22:55.937
Even if it's the platform

0:22:55.990,0:22:57.630
because they're not comparing

0:22:57.630,0:22:59.000
a 4-year old version of WordPress

0:22:59.000,0:23:01.110
to today's version of Squarespace.

0:23:01.220,0:23:03.360
Benefits the host because these old versions

0:23:03.360,0:23:04.510
are ticking time bombs.

0:23:04.899,0:23:05.549
You know,

0:23:05.649,0:23:07.159
You don't update software on the internet

0:23:07.159,0:23:08.799
pretty soon something will happen to it.

0:23:08.799,0:23:09.459
It will get hacked,

0:23:09.459,0:23:10.899
the plugin will get out of date, something like that.

0:23:10.899,0:23:13.969
And so these hosts being on the [br]latest and greatest versions

0:23:14.389,0:23:17.499
is that, I think in the long term lower their support

0:23:17.619,0:23:18.669
and things overall

0:23:18.669,0:23:22.669
because... Does anyone know [br]who's ever had a WordPress site hacked here?

0:23:23.435,0:23:23.875
Yeah.

0:23:25.415,0:23:26.945
It's a pain, isn't it?

0:23:27.352,0:23:28.752
And in fact, to be honest,

0:23:28.752,0:23:29.932
if you're not pretty savvy,

0:23:29.932,0:23:33.012
you're not gonna be able to clean it up [br]in way you won't get reinfected.

0:23:33.077,0:23:35.817
I mean, these guys... Hackers they sneak in our...

0:23:36.737,0:23:38.017
They sneak in, you know,

0:23:38.017,0:23:39.947
backdoors, they put things in hidden files,

0:23:39.947,0:23:41.737
they're very sneaky about[br]how they put things there,

0:23:41.737,0:23:44.797
so you might think that you've updated [br]the major sites that curing it.

0:23:44.797,0:23:46.277
Still... there's a problem there.

0:23:46.937,0:23:48.887
You really need systems level access,

0:23:48.887,0:23:51.447
and maybe a little command line [br]to do that right.

0:23:52.537,0:23:55.957
The other thing that's been [br]pretty notable about WordPress in the past

0:23:56.053,0:23:58.643
is our relationship with PHP.

0:23:59.073,0:24:01.033
Some might call it controversial at times,

0:24:01.403,0:24:05.733
most notably we've decided not there was a go PHP thing that happened.

0:24:05.863,0:24:06.973
And we said that

0:24:07.083,0:24:09.533
there's so many of our users who are on[br]older versions of PHP

0:24:09.563,0:24:10.553
and we're gonna keep supporting those.

0:24:10.773,0:24:13.933
And in fact, to this day we support[br]back to the 5.2?

0:24:14.853,0:24:16.083
And core WordPress.

0:24:16.523,0:24:17.633
And when we look at the stats,

0:24:17.633,0:24:19.003
we still have millions of sites

0:24:19.003,0:24:21.153
on these older versions of PHP.

0:24:22.043,0:24:22.523
But....

0:24:23.691,0:24:26.091
and thinking what can we do with the WordPress...

0:24:26.091,0:24:27.801
with the broader PHP community

0:24:27.931,0:24:29.461
to help make the situation better.

0:24:29.461,0:24:32.401
Cos I'm sure just like us not being happy [br]about people being on older versions,

0:24:32.401,0:24:33.761
they aren't happy about it either.

0:24:34.155,0:24:36.305
We're gonna start using our relationship with hosts

0:24:36.485,0:24:39.985
to help get everyone [br]on PHP 5.5 or above.

0:24:40.574,0:24:42.514
(applause)

0:24:47.522,0:24:48.822
The update system for WordPress

0:24:48.822,0:24:50.942
since we're PHP and MySQL versions using

0:24:50.942,0:24:52.172
so we're able to use this to...

0:24:52.172,0:24:52.712
Again

0:24:52.712,0:24:54.392
Hosts with lists

0:24:54.692,0:24:57.092
Maybe they don't even remember [br]that there's a server some place

0:24:57.092,0:24:58.122
so things like that.

0:24:58.122,0:24:59.352
Actually I have a dreamhost account

0:24:59.352,0:25:01.132
that was still on PHP 5.2

0:25:01.132,0:25:02.852
for one of my installs.

0:25:04.232,0:25:05.692
These sorts of things, you know,

0:25:05.692,0:25:07.322
people just forget about it or they don't notice

0:25:07.322,0:25:08.942
or something doesn't get upgraded

0:25:08.942,0:25:10.642
or you locked a version of PHP because

0:25:10.642,0:25:12.752
you use the setting in the control panel[br]that you forgot about.

0:25:13.399,0:25:14.649
Lost of people who...

0:25:14.649,0:25:15.869
would be perfectly happy

0:25:15.869,0:25:17.889
I mean, WordPress works perfectly [br]as you see with these new versions

0:25:18.971,0:25:20.851
And also there's lots of performance increase

0:25:20.851,0:25:22.411
in the last few major releases of PHP.

0:25:22.486,0:25:23.996
I think we can have a big impact there.

0:25:24.126,0:25:27.216
I mean, certainly on 23% of the web

0:25:27.863,0:25:29.053
we can start to work...

0:25:29.083,0:25:30.993
our partners and the folks who are part of the WordPress ecosystem

0:25:31.063,0:25:32.093
to make this better.

0:25:33.513,0:25:34.913
So, I'm excited about this

0:25:34.913,0:25:38.034
and hopefully it will bring us a bit closer [br]to the broader PHP world.

0:25:38.254,0:25:39.564
that I know some of you aren't.

0:25:40.485,0:25:42.185
Well the other cool things coming this year

0:25:42.471,0:25:44.491
is 2015 theme.

0:25:44.881,0:25:46.061
Have you all seen this yet?

0:25:46.628,0:25:48.248
It is gorgeous.

0:25:49.372,0:25:52.472
A little contrast, there's actually 2 colors on there.

0:25:52.918,0:25:54.688
This isn't the best screen for showing these things

0:25:54.818,0:25:57.678
Well the exciting thing about [br]2015 is that it's actually

0:25:57.768,0:25:58.858
our 5th year in a row

0:25:58.928,0:26:00.838
releasing a new default theme every year.

0:26:00.956,0:26:02.446
Which is the number of years

0:26:02.461,0:26:03.931
that Kubrick was in core.

0:26:04.403,0:26:06.023
(laughter)

0:26:06.588,0:26:07.898
We said we're gonna fix that,

0:26:07.898,0:26:08.508
we did!

0:26:08.886,0:26:09.606
(laughter)

0:26:09.796,0:26:11.826
And I think the new default theme program

0:26:11.845,0:26:13.255
is actually pretty successful.

0:26:13.425,0:26:15.255
Again, our guidelines,

0:26:15.352,0:26:16.822
our theme for everyone

0:26:16.822,0:26:18.922
is not to create someone that's [br]a perfect teaching theme,

0:26:18.942,0:26:19.952
or perfect base theme,

0:26:19.962,0:26:21.372
There's things like underscores for that.

0:26:21.499,0:26:24.319
But to create something that [br]shows off what WordPress can do

0:26:24.376,0:26:26.256
and it's different from the year before.

0:26:26.439,0:26:27.929
So this year we're focusing almost on

0:26:27.959,0:26:29.129
a book-like typography

0:26:29.150,0:26:30.470
and a book-like feel.

0:26:30.825,0:26:31.845
So it has a...

0:26:32.140,0:26:33.330
you know, kind of a left menu,

0:26:33.330,0:26:35.700
you can have a big hire navigation there.

0:26:35.919,0:26:36.689
Who knows?

0:26:36.689,0:26:38.939
We might even use it for a [br]WordPress book that we put out there.

0:26:39.379,0:26:42.169
One of the other things that's been[br]kinda interesting in the past

0:26:42.169,0:26:46.019
probably a year or so is the experiments that [br]WordPress has been doing with Git.

0:26:46.044,0:26:47.194
in GitHub.

0:26:47.341,0:26:49.881
In fact, moving some things like all of the mobile apps

0:26:49.881,0:26:51.501
are now developed entirely on GitHub.

0:26:52.039,0:26:53.559
Who here uses GitHub by the way?

0:26:54.779,0:26:56.069
Well that's all the hands.

0:26:59.260,0:27:01.070
Little thing to announce (not a huge thing)

0:27:01.070,0:27:02.990
but we're gonna start doing something experimental.

0:27:03.297,0:27:05.297
which is looking at the Pull Requests

0:27:05.567,0:27:07.337
that come to the official WordPress repository

0:27:07.745,0:27:08.475
on Github

0:27:08.790,0:27:10.890
and try to integrate this with our normal workflows.

0:27:10.983,0:27:12.883
So now, as of today

0:27:13.246,0:27:14.746
you'll be able to submit a Pull Request

0:27:14.746,0:27:15.766
to WordPress repository

0:27:15.816,0:27:17.996
and that will not go into a blackhole.

0:27:18.316,0:27:20.726
(applause)

0:27:25.139,0:27:26.469
Today plus a few days.

0:27:26.813,0:27:27.883
(laughter)

0:27:28.378,0:27:30.648
It doesn't say by the end of it [br]either so I got a little excited.

0:27:30.756,0:27:32.466
Well these next things I'm really excited about

0:27:32.587,0:27:33.317
Sorry.

0:27:35.297,0:27:38.877
You might remember last year I was on stage[br]I talked about mp6.

0:27:39.067,0:27:42.757
And how one of the things that made the[br]mp6 program successful.

0:27:43.117,0:27:47.097
And in fact, we try to use it as a model for [br]other plugin 1st release development we've been doing

0:27:47.121,0:27:49.981
Was that the team very tightly communicated.

0:27:50.088,0:27:51.808
And we used Skype to do that.

0:27:52.507,0:27:55.117
Skype was fantastic, 'cos of a lot of the team dev,

0:27:55.150,0:27:56.820
a fast asynchronous channel

0:27:56.850,0:27:58.920
with which they could kind of[br]keep up with each other

0:27:58.952,0:28:00.532
but a ton of downsides too.

0:28:00.675,0:28:02.765
Which I thought about, but are still true.

0:28:04.423,0:28:06.003
Skype kinda sucks on mole.

0:28:06.019,0:28:07.399
To be perfectly honest.

0:28:07.709,0:28:09.849
And this was before the latest redesign they did

0:28:09.849,0:28:10.989
that didn't make anything better.

0:28:11.667,0:28:13.397
(laughter)

0:28:14.913,0:28:15.773
It wasn't archived or

0:28:15.773,0:28:16.683
publicly accessible

0:28:16.839,0:28:18.299
Like the log wasn't really searchable

0:28:18.399,0:28:21.809
They just exist on a few people's hard drives and then they might be gone forever.

0:28:22.628,0:28:23.478
So a decade from now

0:28:23.478,0:28:26.008
and Siobhan has been working on the next version of the WordPress book

0:28:26.028,0:28:28.408
We're gonna have trouble finding that stuff.

0:28:28.488,0:28:30.108
That's ok, I'll save them for you.

0:28:31.756,0:28:33.996
Actually we have a problem with IRC too.

0:28:34.049,0:28:36.629
but one of the things I'm excited to announce

0:28:36.864,0:28:39.524
and THIS IS happening as of today.

0:28:40.017,0:28:41.277
Is that for the first time

0:28:41.305,0:28:43.115
we're gonna experiment in 11 years.

0:28:43.135,0:28:45.936
We're not using IRC as our [br]primary communication method.

0:28:48.180,0:28:52.050
We're gonna try a little tool from a company here in San Francisco called Slack.

0:28:52.981,0:28:54.921
(applause)

0:28:58.118,0:28:59.908
Some of you might have not used Slack before

0:28:59.968,0:29:01.168
This is what it looks like.

0:29:01.257,0:29:02.727
In fact, it supports color schemes

0:29:02.727,0:29:05.397
I've got an mp6-looking colors scheme on here.

0:29:05.397,0:29:07.697
Comes in kind of a funny-looking [br]eggplant, by default.

0:29:08.830,0:29:11.600
But how Slack works is that you can have channels

0:29:11.670,0:29:14.300
prefix with hashes kinda like IRC

0:29:14.842,0:29:16.952
As of these will all be our channels.

0:29:17.041,0:29:18.142
So kind of a....

0:29:18.142,0:29:20.731
everyone that's part of the WordPress[br]community will come in there

0:29:20.781,0:29:23.060
so instead of having to do like, Wordpress-dev

0:29:23.080,0:29:24.480
we can just do

0:29:24.510,0:29:25.785
the things on the left.

0:29:25.905,0:29:27.240
Sorry, we have a naming scheme

0:29:27.270,0:29:29.443
I didn't want to mess it up [br]by saying anything wrong.

0:29:29.793,0:29:32.936
Teams can now use this to [br]communicate with each other

0:29:32.984,0:29:34.860
and this will all be searchable

0:29:34.880,0:29:35.929
and part of the normal thing.

0:29:35.959,0:29:37.118
We're doing integrations.

0:29:37.118,0:29:40.098
You can see wordpress.org commits [br]are coming to the meta channel.

0:29:40.278,0:29:41.598
Also things like

0:29:42.168,0:29:45.632
if a ticket is mentioned in Slack,

0:29:45.666,0:29:47.172
we'll link that from track.

0:29:47.402,0:29:48.606
So there'll be integration between the 2

0:29:48.606,0:29:52.066
we'll basically have like a 2-way communication mechanism going between them.

0:29:53.146,0:29:56.625
This will be available to every single user[br]of wordpress.org

0:29:57.234,0:29:59.490
Normally, Slack you have to be part of a company

0:29:59.490,0:30:01.026
or have a company email address.

0:30:01.026,0:30:03.413
We've made it so every single person [br]will be able to sign up.

0:30:03.463,0:30:04.877
And of my favorite things about it

0:30:04.927,0:30:07.091
is that it works on every device.

0:30:08.581,0:30:10.997
Yes, I'm excited about that too.

0:30:11.007,0:30:12.827
You'll be able to keep up with Wordpress chats

0:30:12.827,0:30:14.447
no matter where you are in the world.

0:30:14.617,0:30:16.527
Has anyone ever tried to run IRC on their phone?

0:30:16.587,0:30:17.827
(laughter)

0:30:18.417,0:30:19.821
The core contributors!

0:30:19.941,0:30:21.107
You had to, right?

0:30:21.837,0:30:24.495
So, starting right now, wait till after the talk

0:30:24.545,0:30:26.213
but you can go to chat.wordpress.org

0:30:26.243,0:30:28.041
And it'll redirect you to a page [br]

0:30:28.111,0:30:30.240
to toss you a little bit about the benefits

0:30:30.370,0:30:33.230
We've decided to do this first non-IRC[br]experiment with Slack

0:30:33.278,0:30:36.408
As opposed to any of the [br]other number systems out there.

0:30:36.500,0:30:38.430
And so the things we're excited about using.

0:30:39.402,0:30:41.482
Actually, Automattic's been using Slack

0:30:41.522,0:30:42.782
entirely for a few months

0:30:42.792,0:30:44.442
and it's been transformative for the company.

0:30:44.832,0:30:45.982
(inaudible)

0:30:46.002,0:30:47.003
have the pings,

0:30:47.003,0:30:48.043
the mobile apps,

0:30:48.798,0:30:49.888
the channels,

0:30:50.121,0:30:51.311
the search is actually a killer,

0:30:51.593,0:30:53.113
it includes animated gifs

0:30:53.489,0:30:55.689
(laughter)

0:30:55.848,0:30:57.578
(applause)

0:30:59.867,0:31:02.997
We need the animated gif of me going...[br](moving left to right)

0:31:03.053,0:31:04.773
(laughter)

0:31:05.155,0:31:06.625
Turn off the gifs?

0:31:06.711,0:31:08.021
We'll turn that back off.

0:31:08.089,0:31:08.899
(laughter)

0:31:08.983,0:31:10.593
We should turn off giphy, though.

0:31:11.266,0:31:13.156
It also has a number of commands.

0:31:13.213,0:31:14.723
One of which is the giphy command

0:31:14.753,0:31:16.623
So you can type giphy and then search string

0:31:16.646,0:31:20.826
and it will pull in whatever comes, [br]"I'm feeling lucky for gifs"

0:31:20.945,0:31:24.065
(laughter)

0:31:25.692,0:31:28.372
Which aren't always community-appropriate.

0:31:28.454,0:31:30.474
So I agree we shouldn't have giphy.

0:31:30.613,0:31:32.393
But the ability to have curated

0:31:32.427,0:31:34.707
the spoke chosen gifs, [br]I think is important.

0:31:34.788,0:31:36.138
(laughter)

0:31:36.718,0:31:38.078
So check this out

0:31:38.242,0:31:40.002
please, you know, [br]when you go back to Contributor Day

0:31:40.100,0:31:41.460
or things like that, login.

0:31:41.474,0:31:43.144
I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised

0:31:43.154,0:31:45.904
you can use it on the web, [br]so we're not just on a web browser

0:31:45.904,0:31:49.014
they have a desktop client [br]that you can download that runs it locally.

0:31:49.014,0:31:52.154
There's a beta coming out [br]that allows you to be signed in to multiple teams

0:31:52.209,0:31:53.989
And again, run it on your phone.

0:31:53.989,0:31:55.779
And it doesn't kill your battery.

0:31:56.890,0:31:59.970
Hope to see all of you on Slack very soon.

0:32:01.659,0:32:05.129
(applause)

0:32:07.246,0:32:09.376
I'm glad you're all so happy, [br]I'm drinking water.

0:32:09.684,0:32:10.994
(laughter)

0:32:11.194,0:32:13.194
This "say to the word" brought to you by hint.

0:32:13.259,0:32:13.759
(laughter)

0:32:13.882,0:32:14.892
Just kidding.

0:32:15.245,0:32:18.145
Although they would be great to have a sponsor.

0:32:18.500,0:32:21.360
One of the other things I ended up talking about [br]a few weeks ago at WordCamp Europe,

0:32:21.370,0:32:24.870
that became a little bit surprising and controversial [br]is this "Five for the Future" idea.

0:32:25.741,0:32:27.801
Some of you might have seen the blog post.

0:32:27.951,0:32:29.881
But basically, the gist of it is,

0:32:31.626,0:32:34.826
that for WordPress to remain a[br]sustainable enterprise

0:32:34.846,0:32:36.896
a sustainable thing going forward,

0:32:36.896,0:32:38.536
5, 10, 20 years from now

0:32:39.343,0:32:41.723
I've no doubt that the project will survive.

0:32:41.851,0:32:44.021
You can still go download PhpNuke.

0:32:44.109,0:32:46.389
Open Source projects never go away.

0:32:46.665,0:32:49.175
Only one person knew what PhpNuke was.

0:32:49.323,0:32:50.433
(laughter)

0:32:50.947,0:32:55.887
But very few thrive even as long as the 11 years [br]that WordPress has already.

0:32:56.187,0:33:00.387
and one of the reasons that we have been able to, I think will be the key to the future.

0:33:00.387,0:33:04.387
Is that all the participants in the ecosystem [br]put a little bit back into it.

0:33:04.717,0:33:06.897
So let's talk about this "Five for the Future" thing

0:33:06.937,0:33:09.077
and basically saying that, [br]it can be totally optional,

0:33:09.113,0:33:10.813
we're not coercing anyone, [br]we're not guilting anyone

0:33:10.813,0:33:12.473
we're not saying that anyone has to do anything

0:33:12.483,0:33:16.473
but for organizations who feel like [br]they benefit from the growth of WordPress,

0:33:16.756,0:33:21.596
or sort of, they're part of the ecosystem[br]in a way that they grow alongside it

0:33:21.674,0:33:25.588
to take 5% of the WordPress resources, [br]whatever they sort of normally spend on that

0:33:25.588,0:33:27.608
and put it towards core.

0:33:27.608,0:33:31.198
Or community, or meetups, or organizing, [br]or WordCamps, or things like that

0:33:31.238,0:33:33.438
Organizing WordCamps.

0:33:33.763,0:33:35.133
This has been pretty exciting.

0:33:35.203,0:33:39.913
And actually, already 2 companies have publicly announced Gravity,

0:33:39.953,0:33:43.893
and one I think I wouldn't see on stage, wpmudev

0:33:43.893,0:33:47.013
have announced they're gonna start putting [br]5% of their resources towards core.

0:33:47.053,0:33:51.143
And also today I am proud to announce that Automattic now has 14 people

0:33:51.143,0:33:55.143
which is 5% working full-time on [br]WordPress core and community.

0:33:55.253,0:33:57.923
(applause)

0:34:01.596,0:34:02.986
This slide is too small

0:34:03.431,0:34:05.991
There are probably other companies [br]already doing this

0:34:06.149,0:34:08.809
that we haven't done on the[br]blog post yet, or not on this list.

0:34:08.819,0:34:11.959
And I hope that many, many more [br]will consider going forward.

0:34:12.648,0:34:16.648
You can ask any of the folks [br]who currently contribute a lot to WordPress

0:34:16.648,0:34:21.788
It's one of those things that not just in karma, but you get back so much more than you put in.

0:34:23.638,0:34:28.968
It's about also the members of the ecosystem, not just growing their slice of the pie, but growing the entire pie.

0:34:29.080,0:34:32.700
And this is what is gonna take us [br]from 23% to 30%, 40%

0:34:32.700,0:34:35.251
or maybe even someday, [br]powering the majority of the internet.

0:34:35.251,0:34:37.091
We're not gonna do that with one company.

0:34:37.091,0:34:39.281
We're not gonna do that [br]even with a handful of companies.

0:34:39.281,0:34:41.811
We're gonna do it like the internet works.

0:34:42.041,0:34:46.041
With hundreds of thousands of people [br]coordinating all over the world.

0:34:46.075,0:34:50.425
So if you are a part of an organization, that's already doing this, let me know.

0:34:50.425,0:34:53.395
And I'll put you in the blog post [br]when we talk about this.

0:34:53.395,0:34:56.065
And if you wanna do it, [br]I'm happy to talk to y'all

0:34:56.065,0:34:59.665
about the ups and downs, [br]pluses and minuses

0:34:59.665,0:35:01.465
and things to think about.

0:35:01.465,0:35:03.335
Again, if you're a freelancer you can do this.

0:35:03.335,0:35:05.805
5% would be 2 hours a week.

0:35:05.880,0:35:08.710
Maybe that's the time it [br]takes to organize a meetup.

0:35:08.780,0:35:11.340
And the meetup people [br]are looking at me like, "nope."

0:35:11.340,0:35:12.770
(laughter)

0:35:12.867,0:35:14.047
10 hours a week?

0:35:14.153,0:35:17.593
Well you can also think about...[br]I mean, there's 168 hours in a week

0:35:17.776,0:35:21.776
So 5% is close to 8.5? 9 hours?

0:35:21.966,0:35:24.536
(laughter)

0:35:25.240,0:35:27.660
Ok, let's say 40 in 2 hours...

0:35:27.805,0:35:29.135
(laughter)

0:35:29.290,0:35:30.890
There's lots of ways you can contribute.

0:35:31.075,0:35:33.245
In fact, if you'd like to know how to contribute more,

0:35:33.245,0:35:36.785
there is a booth downstairs where you can go[br]to all throughout the day.

0:35:37.259,0:35:39.509
You can visit make.wordpress.org online

0:35:39.509,0:35:41.479
for those of you watching from the live streams.

0:35:41.529,0:35:42.649
Yeah, I forgot to tell you that.

0:35:42.689,0:35:46.489
There's hundreds of people tuned into live streams[br]including I think, 15 or 20

0:35:46.489,0:35:49.139
other locations with rooms smaller than this

0:35:49.139,0:35:51.219
but like this, but they are doing viewing parties.

0:35:51.229,0:35:53.739
So, say hello to the world everyone!

0:35:53.796,0:35:56.056
(crowd cheering)

0:35:59.064,0:36:00.994
But there's lots and lots of ways to contribute.

0:36:00.994,0:36:02.778
And no matter what your skill is,

0:36:02.778,0:36:05.618
There is something that you could do [br]that would be helpful.

0:36:05.773,0:36:09.233
Actually, my path and this whole thing was that,

0:36:09.263,0:36:13.263
I discovered a platform called b2, which was the code that WordPress was based on,

0:36:13.263,0:36:15.703
and sort of hacking around with it.

0:36:15.703,0:36:17.203
And I would ask questions in the forums.

0:36:17.203,0:36:20.133
And one of the days when I was going back [br]to asking another question in the forum,

0:36:20.133,0:36:21.483
I saw something that I already asked

0:36:21.483,0:36:22.703
someone else was asking.

0:36:22.703,0:36:24.083
So I figured I'd answer it.

0:36:24.083,0:36:26.123
Because then maybe people [br]would help me more, or something.

0:36:29.475,0:36:33.595
That started a long, downhill path

0:36:33.705,0:36:35.305
to being here today.

0:36:36.905,0:36:39.085
But that thrill of contributing

0:36:39.438,0:36:40.658
rush of helping other people

0:36:40.658,0:36:44.128
is really one of the most rewarding experiences [br]I've had in my entire life.

0:36:44.279,0:36:46.939
And one that is still what I ___ around my life today.

0:36:46.939,0:36:48.479
So we have a lot of contributors.

0:36:48.479,0:36:50.339
Who's a WordPress contributor here?

0:36:51.126,0:36:55.276
A contributor, by the way, is a title [br]that no one can give you except yourself.

0:36:56.225,0:37:00.225
That means, that you're doing something that you feel like is having an altruistic impact

0:37:00.225,0:37:01.305
on the WordPress community.

0:37:01.305,0:37:03.185
So I hope that by this time next year,

0:37:03.185,0:37:06.165
a lot more of you all have decided to give yourselves that title.

0:37:06.165,0:37:07.125
Because you're welcome.

0:37:07.125,0:37:08.405
It's all one big happy family

0:37:08.405,0:37:10.365
and we have cookies and barbeque.

0:37:10.458,0:37:12.018
(laughter)

0:37:12.102,0:37:14.332
(applause)

0:37:15.995,0:37:19.215
It's been a lot of talk the [br]last few days with the rest API

0:37:19.768,0:37:21.308
Who's excited about this?

0:37:21.516,0:37:23.006
(crowd cheering)

0:37:25.894,0:37:29.304
As you know, there's been a project on wpapi.org

0:37:29.374,0:37:31.284
Talked about Brian and Rachel about it already,

0:37:31.284,0:37:32.594
but many other people involved.

0:37:32.727,0:37:36.727
There's been very exciting work around[br]creating a Json rest style API

0:37:36.865,0:37:38.495
for a lot of WordPress.

0:37:38.871,0:37:40.321
At the same time on wordpress.com,

0:37:40.321,0:37:43.081
there's been a REST API [br]that's been doing a ton of adoption

0:37:43.081,0:37:47.081
in terms of different partners which are integrating with WordPress for the first time.

0:37:47.081,0:37:48.151
From youtube to path.

0:37:48.777,0:37:52.387
New internet services, which previously [br]were so scared of our

0:37:52.486,0:37:53.636
xmr, PC stuff

0:37:53.680,0:37:58.050
and millions of inpoints and also [br]to different things that they just

0:37:58.050,0:38:00.050
wouldn't even do WordPress integrations

0:38:00.050,0:38:04.050
even though we're by far the largest place that facebook likes aren't embedded,

0:38:04.050,0:38:06.400
and everything else pretty much like [br]every widget on the web.

0:38:06.400,0:38:08.720
You look at the stats and WordPress is one user.

0:38:08.720,0:38:10.700
Or they get the most distribution at WordPress.

0:38:11.383,0:38:15.383
So one of the other things that I want to point out is very important for us to work on this year.

0:38:15.481,0:38:17.671
Is that two robots need to fall in love.

0:38:17.693,0:38:18.633
(laughter)

0:38:19.185,0:38:21.745
In the Version 2 of both these APIs,

0:38:23.134,0:38:24.404
(hopefully Version 2)

0:38:24.404,0:38:25.684
We need to bring this together.

0:38:26.154,0:38:28.489
There's some things that on the hosted side

0:38:28.489,0:38:30.999
we'd figured out around sort of multi-plugins things

0:38:30.999,0:38:35.379
or authentication, or around the way certain APIs work when you try to recreate all WP Admin

0:38:35.379,0:38:36.559
the things that you can do and not do.

0:38:36.581,0:38:37.431
Pagination.

0:38:38.631,0:38:40.601
That, I think, are really important.

0:38:40.851,0:38:44.741
Things that WP API has been[br]very comprehensive in doing

0:38:44.741,0:38:49.291
including marrying a lot of the things that been done before in terms of internal APIs

0:38:50.029,0:38:52.029
Now, once we have this REST APIs,

0:38:52.463,0:38:57.473
There's been a few talks on it already, but think of it almost like, WordPress can become a kernel.

0:38:57.473,0:39:00.673
And that you can interface with it[br]in JavaScript, to node,

0:39:00.673,0:39:03.783
and python, and almost anything[br]with easy client libraries.

0:39:03.783,0:39:09.603
So, the WordPress engine, is app platform usage that we've been talking about for a few years now.

0:39:09.603,0:39:11.143
And it's rapidly picking up.

0:39:13.023,0:39:19.253
My feeling is that when we get these REST APIs, it's important to build as many things as possible on the plugin phase.

0:39:19.253,0:39:20.963
And once we get in the core,

0:39:20.963,0:39:22.923
there'll be like an explosion

0:39:22.923,0:39:24.323
that things built on top of them.

0:39:24.430,0:39:29.160
Can you even imagine a world where the way that we think about themes settings screens

0:39:29.160,0:39:31.430
or how plugins work, or how services work

0:39:31.430,0:39:32.490
could be totally different.

0:39:32.760,0:39:35.940
Rather than trying to shoehorn a lot of things in the custom post types, or something.

0:39:36.116,0:39:41.686
Maybe a plugin, actually, just interfaces[br]using these APIs to your different WordPresses.

0:39:41.686,0:39:43.726
And gives you a completely

0:39:43.726,0:39:45.006
Posting interface.

0:39:45.116,0:39:49.006
Like some of the things that maybe Happy Tables or other folks have been trying.

0:39:49.196,0:39:51.306
This would be so much more possible[br]

0:39:51.313,0:39:53.193
and I think that this is finally the time

0:39:54.022,0:39:56.462
I haven't gotten the question recently but I get it sometimes where

0:39:56.462,0:39:59.762
when are you gonna allow theming for WP admin? [br]Or things like that.

0:39:59.934,0:40:02.974
Which is tough for a bad idea [br]for a number of reasons.

0:40:03.149,0:40:06.489
But maybe what we need [br]isn't theming for all of WP admin.

0:40:06.569,0:40:10.749
Maybe what we need is a way for [br]a thousand different WP admins bloom.

0:40:10.900,0:40:17.650
That anyone in the world can create a sort of, version of the interface and fork each other and

0:40:17.730,0:40:18.790
interact with each other.

0:40:18.903,0:40:22.473
And that will be able to more rapidly iterate

0:40:22.508,0:40:24.538
on what it means to be WordPress.

0:40:26.562,0:40:28.522
I've talked for about ____ship.

0:40:28.810,0:40:30.490
You guys know about it?

0:40:30.706,0:40:36.326
It's the idea that there's a ____ ship, and on its journey, every single board was replaced.

0:40:36.717,0:40:38.817
So what point is _____ship?

0:40:39.072,0:40:41.912
What is the thing that makes us sort of

0:40:42.080,0:40:47.940
semi-logic fashion still the thing that we know as this thing we call ______ ship.

0:40:47.960,0:40:50.110
So what's the thing that makes WordPress, WordPress?

0:40:50.150,0:40:51.260
Besides you all.

0:40:52.536,0:40:54.186
Is it the interface? [br]The php code?

0:40:54.336,0:40:56.496
Is it the the database schema?

0:40:56.747,0:40:58.947
I think that we can obstruct [br]a lot of these things away

0:40:59.348,0:41:00.638
and like I said,

0:41:00.753,0:41:02.273
______[br]when things build on top of it.

0:41:03.334,0:41:09.004
And finally one of the things I wanna emphasize most is the continuing importance of Responsive & Mobile.

0:41:10.182,0:41:12.152
Anyone seen this picture before?

0:41:12.603,0:41:13.983
It's actually pretty cool.

0:41:13.983,0:41:18.383
So the one at the top, this is where [br]they're about to announce the new pope.

0:41:18.470,0:41:23.340
And you see at once at the top there one that looks like a razor at the bottom right.

0:41:23.383,0:41:25.723
And one weird girl turning around.

0:41:26.040,0:41:27.130
(laughter)

0:41:27.354,0:41:30.154
And then the future, you even have [br]someone taking a picture on the iPad.

0:41:30.154,0:41:31.144
Who does that?

0:41:31.185,0:41:32.255
(laughter)

0:41:32.660,0:41:34.460
It is just a sea of phones.

0:41:34.588,0:41:39.418
Like I said, there are now more phones [br]on the planet than human beings.

0:41:39.478,0:41:40.578
They're winning!

0:41:40.588,0:41:43.158
(laughter)

0:41:44.382,0:41:50.492
We need to, you know, cater to them,[br]or they're just gonna replace us.

0:41:50.600,0:41:54.410
My phone already has a better memory and everything, better looking screen

0:41:54.420,0:41:55.330
More connected.

0:41:55.647,0:42:02.177
It's amazing both how fundamentally the idea[br]that we can always be connected.

0:42:02.340,0:42:04.870
That we have these sensors[br]that are with us all the time.

0:42:05.142,0:42:08.782
And then also, how these have been [br]getting bigger and bigger.

0:42:09.032,0:42:11.462
When the very first iPhone came out,

0:42:11.565,0:42:16.465
The resolution of the screen on the first iPhone would take up about the size of my thumb

0:42:16.465,0:42:17.455
on the 6Plus.

0:42:19.488,0:42:24.808
The capacity of these to do more and more things and the richer interfaces

0:42:24.808,0:42:26.088
is better than ever.

0:42:26.128,0:42:27.528
Who was in Luke's talk yesterday?

0:42:27.706,0:42:31.166
We talked not just about being[br]Responsive in terms of the screen size

0:42:31.232,0:42:33.132
But about how far it is from your face?

0:42:33.175,0:42:35.475
There's ways we can think about this.

0:42:35.495,0:42:37.935
That I think, WordPress can[br]actually be the lead on.

0:42:37.981,0:42:41.161
If you look in the mobile world,[br]it's all about apps.

0:42:42.769,0:42:44.179
Everything's an app.

0:42:44.267,0:42:51.037
The mobile web still gets a ton of traffic and in fact, all the stats we see in the mobile web has more traffic than ever.

0:42:51.067,0:42:53.887
But applications aren't really being built in it.

0:42:54.097,0:42:57.597
This is one area where WordPress [br]cannot just ride the wave of.

0:42:57.597,0:42:59.027
But perhaps be the lead.

0:42:59.120,0:43:01.130
For the next generation [br]of what comes in mobile.

0:43:01.864,0:43:04.254
And Android, and iOS 8.

0:43:04.406,0:43:09.376
The web capabilities of these devices [br]are getting better and better.

0:43:09.409,0:43:14.659
Android even puts tabs on the browser at equal footing with apps on the task switcher.

0:43:15.052,0:43:16.302
This is incredible.

0:43:16.726,0:43:21.926
Also the announcement for Android L [br]showed 60 frames per second animation.

0:43:21.975,0:43:23.055
In web views.

0:43:23.646,0:43:27.046
You're now able to do things as the [br]power of these gets better and better

0:43:27.055,0:43:28.495
I think the web comes back.

0:43:28.495,0:43:30.975
As the dominant computing platform.

0:43:31.015,0:43:33.865
Just like, maybe, in the Windows 3.1 days

0:43:33.977,0:43:37.097
One connectivity and power and [br]everything we all used apps.

0:43:37.097,0:43:38.537
We all use things like Office.

0:43:38.622,0:43:40.552
And they got surplanned by the web.

0:43:40.552,0:43:42.742
As computers became more and more powerful.

0:43:42.742,0:43:45.512
I think that the same thing is [br]gonna happen on phones.

0:43:45.619,0:43:50.189
And that WordPress both as an application platform and as an app itself

0:43:50.189,0:43:51.729
is forced, perhaps to lead that.

0:43:51.729,0:43:54.089
So I will encourage all of you, [br]when you build a plugin,

0:43:54.109,0:43:57.459
when you make a theme, [br]test it on as many devices as possible.

0:43:57.497,0:43:59.427
Put it on the tablet, [br]put it on the phone,

0:43:59.461,0:44:00.861
Put it on the old phone.

0:44:00.871,0:44:02.411
Don't worry about that razor phone.

0:44:02.450,0:44:03.900
(laughter)

0:44:03.986,0:44:04.846
It's gone.

0:44:05.217,0:44:07.287
Don't worry about Blackberry.

0:44:07.585,0:44:10.225
But test these things and think about it.

0:44:10.509,0:44:13.799
This is one of the ways that again, [br]we can be truly global.

0:44:13.953,0:44:15.573
A lot of people forget.

0:44:15.613,0:44:17.933
Who knows what the [br]Mission of WordPress is?

0:44:18.658,0:44:19.738
What is it?

0:44:20.616,0:44:21.726
There you go.

0:44:21.958,0:44:23.278
A lot of people forget this.

0:44:23.318,0:44:25.758
I did a 7-country, 10-city tour in Asia earlier.

0:44:25.982,0:44:28.542
And there's only one or few people [br]in the audience that knew.

0:44:29.607,0:44:31.257
These audiences are 200 or 300 people.

0:44:31.728,0:44:34.018
They knew that the mission of WordPress [br]was Democratize Publishing.

0:44:35.358,0:44:38.138
That means everyone in every language.
