Thanks for the answer. You're right that conversations at events reflect the culture around them. In Europe, there’s more focus on regulation, sustainability, and governance. It’s not always exciting, but it’s part of how we try to protect people. Cookie banners aren’t fun, but they’re just one symptom of a broader mindset. I believe that talking about regulation, process, and sustainability is actually a future-focused approach. If we ignore the foundations, any growth we pursue could be short-lived. Growth without sustainability isn’t really growth. It’s just a delay of problems. The hallway track at WCEU might seem more cautious, but that doesn’t mean there’s no optimism. Many of us care deeply about where WordPress is heading. We just believe that addressing real concerns and legacy issues is part of building something stronger. Yes, the loudest voices aren’t the majority. Still, they often reflect frustrations that are worth listening to. Not every complaint is constructive, but many of them point to things that need attention. The WCEU attendes may ask tougher or more critical questions, but that comes from a place of care. We’re thinking about how to make WordPress thrive for the next generation, not just this one.
