Decentralize. Distribute. Democratize. AspirePress builds tools for the #WP community. Right now we’re building a distributed repository to replace .org.
Our project goals are simple: 1. We want a community where everyone is free to create and work the way that works best for them. 2. Decentralized asset distribution in the ecosystem to ensure no one can control anyone else. 3. A future for everyone in the community. Join us!

With the holiday season coming for many, projects are winding down for a winter break. AspirePress is no exception, and we wish you a happy holiday season, no matter what you celebrate. We will be returning in the new year with a renewed spirit for open source!
We continue to work on the mirror and repository functionality for AspirePress. And we’ve reached the point where we are standing up infrastructure!
Our first mission is to bring hope and community to people who lack both. If we ever ship a line of code, or gain users, or raise funds, or sponsor events, or anything else we might do, it will always be second to hope and community. How we live matters more than what we do.
We are working very hard on improving governance, at least for AspirePress, if not for the whole community. Governance is one aspect of open source. But when governance comes in handy most is when there’s an absence of explicit trust. It’s the “rules of the road” and a minimum…
