I’m speaking at WordCamp Miami on Saturday 6th April. I had originally planned to talk about contributing to WordPress, but I’ve been doing a load of research on the GPL recently so figured it would be a cool thing to speak on. I had a look through previous WordCamp presentations (those on WordPress.tv anyway) and couldn’t find much on the GPL. It seems a little remiss to me, since it’s pretty important. I’ll also be turning it into an article for Smashing Magazine, so if you aren’t at my presentation you’ll get to see an extended version of it on there.
What I will be looking at is the history of the GPL, what it is, what it means for WordPress, and how it became part of the project. There are some fun factoids from WordPress’s history that I plan to share. My research into this side of WordPress is by no means complete, but there’s still some cool stuff that I hope people will find interesting.
