WordPress Origin Story

I’ve been using WordPress since 2004 “Mingus” release, but I was a bit hesitant to show myself as my experiences from other FOSS communities had not been that good at that time, so I was keeping myself from showing up.

In 2017 after a lot of discussion with a friend, I started contributing to give whatever possible back and get a vibe of what’s going on around the software that I was pretty much solely using until then. Within all contributions, I found the Greek community as well, and that “relationship” evolved into a bunch of lovely crazies that I can surely say they’re now my 2nd family.
