WordPress Origin Story

The year was 2004. I had been using pMachine on my 1&1 host, and it was starting to crumble, getting in the way of my already feeble blogging.
WordPress seemed nice, version 1.2 was making waves in the blogosphere (hello Mark Pilgrim!), and a developer (who turned out to be b2 creator and WP developer Michel Valdrighi, and later a friend) was looking for testers for his pMachine-to-WordPress importer.
Gave it a try, it worked well enough, I have never looked back since then.

I dove into its translation right then as I saw a need, first on the wiki then on Launchpad when v1.5 and gettext came, then on the Automattic Subversion server, then Rosetta sites, etc.

French questions were getting asked on the wp.org forums, but were not welcome as-is (“English, please!”). In August 2005, a couple of guys in France decided to create a forum for francophones, then a full site, and asked me to be part of it. When the time came to run the money for our barcamps (2008), we decided to turn our informal gathering into a proper non-profit, and I’ve been its president since these first days (until late 2015), and lead-organizer of 4 WordPress barcamps and 4 WordCamps.
