About skarjune

Skarjune was a former contributor on the Make WordPress.org Marketing team, WordPress.org,Training Team, and WordCamp Minneapolis—St.Paul organizing team. Skarjune resigned as Contributor in 2019 after disagreeing one-to-one with both Matt Mullenweg and Joost de Valk over their takeover of the Communications Team without consulting team members. Some members left in addition to the former Leader cast aside, and work by the Communications and Training team was discarded by new leaders . Hopefully, new real Governance will replace Automattic at WordPress.og, which is not WordPress.com. Commercial Corporations should respect Open Source GPL.
