Been following this thread for the last few days. It's a heavy mix of good things and bad things, and I sadly haven't had the time or brainpower to think through how leadership, community, WordPress and its ecosystem, and environmental responsibility can reach any major resolution. But some good - no, _critical_, as in both critiquing and essential - discussion points made by Hannah Smith here (as well as others in the ClimateAction.tech CIC Slack). From my side, I'll continue to keep an eye on the "human side" of WordPress, and will be strongly thinking about how to assess the social aspects of tech stacks alongside security and maintenance reviews of them. Ownership, leadership, and attitudes are part of risk management as much as anything else, and often even less obvious to end users than technical aspects. Making these things to transparent to users - even without any judgement - is really important.

In the past week, I talked nonstop about one incredible community, and honestly, it’s no surprise why. ClimateAction.tech CIC has been on my mind and in my conversations because they are a truly remarkable group of people making waves in the tech industry by prioritizing something that matters to us all— our planet's future. This is not a fleeting trend or a group of well-meaning but passive advocates. This is a long-standing, vibrant, and deeply active community that has been working tirelessly to drive meaningful climate action within the tech world. One of the things I love most about ClimateAction.tech is how alive and engaged the community feels. Every interaction is filled with energy, ideas, and a sense of purpose that’s both refreshing and inspiring. Whether it’s through Slack conversations, community events, or the wealth of resources they share, you can feel the collective momentum building toward real change. And don’t even get me started on their newsletter—it’s consistently one of my inbox's most thoughtful and inspiring reads. Every issue is packed with insights, stories, and practical tools that make me feel informed, empowered, and ready to take action. It’s more than a newsletter; it’s a lifeline for anyone who cares about the intersection of tech and climate. What makes this community stand out is its inclusivity. It doesn’t matter what your background is, what role you play in tech, or where you are in the world. If you care about climate action and want to make an impact, you’re welcome here. They create a space for everyone to learn, share, and act. It’s not just about talking—it’s about doing. Whether it’s greening your craft, speaking up about climate in your workplace, or influencing leaders and decision-makers, ClimateAction.tech is the place to find your voice and discover how you can contribute. I’ve seen so many people, including myself, grow in knowledge, confidence, and impact through this community. If you’re looking for a starting point, a support system, or a launchpad for your climate action journey, look no further than ClimateAction.tech. This is where hope, collaboration, and action come together. https://lnkd.in/eMke_Cf3 & https://lnkd.in/e92DDAUP Chris Adams, Heather Baden, Melissa Hsiung, Sandra P., Andy McWilliams, Asim Hussain, and Sam Phillips.

?? I had the pleasure of connecting with???Julia Racsko?yesterday through ClimateAction.tech CIC, which uses Donut to help its Slack community members engage and support each other.
