david wolfpaw (@wolfpaw) – WordPress user profile

Bio

I have been a WordPress user since 2008, and a contributor since 2011. As of October 2024, I am no longer volunteering any time to the WordPress Foundation.

I have no legal affiliation with wordpress.org, Automattic, or the WordPress Foundation. I disagree with the actions taken by Matt Mullenweg, and am in favor of him stepping down from the WordPress Foundation.
