You call yourself a Christian engineer, but you haven’t given your life to Open Source? Huh.

What license would Jesus choose? I don’t know if it’s GPL or MIT, but sure as heck it isn’t proprietary.

Letting proprietary code dictate your life is like following a Bible you’re not allowed to read. Beware those who would seek to mediate your relationship to the divine.

Happy Easter, y’all.

Keynotes to Set the Stage

The keynote sessions at WordCamp Asia 2026 help frame some of the biggest conversations at this year’s event.

Ma.tt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress and CEO of Automattic, is expected to speak about the future of the open web and the ever-evolving role that WordPress plays.

Mary Hubbard, Executive Director of WordPress, will also join a fireside chat moderated by Shilpa Shah, focusing on leadership, education initiatives, artificial intelligence, and community growth.

Together, they offer an early view of the themes and discussions unfolding across WordPress in 2026.

AI, Automation, and the Future of WordPress

Artificial intelligence is one of the clearest threads running through the program. Sessions from Fellyph Cintra, Fumiki Takahashi, and Nirav Mehta examine how AI is already influencing WordPress through Core discussions, testing workflows, plugin development, and day-to-day implementation. That same theme continues in sessions on marketing and content strategy, including Adeline Dahal’s work on structuring WordPress content to make it more machine-readable. 

This cross-section of presentations shows how automation is moving from concept to practice. From autonomous testing with WordPress Playground to AI-supported development workflows, these sessions highlight applicable tools and skills that teams can start using right away, not just concepts. For attendees interested in where WordPress is heading, this is one of the strongest themes across the event.

Enterprise WordPress and Scalability

Enterprise sessions take that discussion further by focusing on scale, architecture, and operational complexity. Rahul Bansal, James Giroux, Anirban Mukherji, and Abid Murshed are among the speakers exploring how WordPress supports larger organizations, more complex commerce systems, and demanding digital environments. Their sessions look at growth, implementation, and the kinds of decisions that matter when WordPress is supporting business-critical work.

Other talks in this track focus on the realities of enterprise operations, including migration risk, observability, and long-term performance. Together, they show how WordPress continues to adapt to larger systems and more complex digital ecosystems without losing the flexibility that makes it widely used in the first place.

Developer Experience and Modern Practices

The developer track stays grounded in both Core tools and everyday engineering practice. Ryan Welcher will cover the Interactivity API, Jonathan Desrosiers will look at automation in open source, and Takayuki Miyoshi will introduce a schema-sharing approach to form management. These sessions point to a broader shift toward building WordPress systems that are more dynamic, maintainable, and easier to scale over time.

These more technical presentations also include sessions on the WordPress HTML API, Content Security Policy, open source data pipelines, and evolving plugin standards. Rather than focusing on a single type of builder, this part of the schedule addresses developers working across infrastructure, security, front-end experiences, and long-term platform health.

Community, Education, and Open Source

The schedule also makes space for the people and ideas that support WordPress beyond engineering alone. A panel featuring Anand Upadhyay and Maciej Pilarski, moderated by Destiny Kanno, looks at education initiatives and student pathways into open source. Kazuko Kaneuchi will reflect on the story of Wapuu and the culture of contribution around WordPress. At the same time, Kotaro Kitamura and Chiharu Nagatomi will share how WordPress and its community shaped their professional journeys.

That wider perspective continues in sessions on product thinking, marketing, career growth, and business strategy. Speakers, including Nabin Jaiswal, Himani Kankaria, Julian Song, Karishma Sundaram, Sandeep Kelvadi, Aviral Mittal, Anh Tran, and Anna Hurko, explore how WordPress works and connects with decision-making, discoverability, professional development, and organizational growth. Taken together, these sessions reflect one of WordPress’s long-standing strengths: its ability to connect software, learning, and community in the same space.

Hands-on Workshops

Hands-on workshops round out the schedule, offering practical sessions for attendees who want to move from ideas to implementation. They include:

From On-Demand to Cloud: Automate WordPress Installations Like a Pro

AI + MCP to build, manage, and automate WordPress end-to-end

Building AI Agents with self-editing memory

Building Better WordPress Experiences with AI-Driven Development Workflows

I’m really excited to introduce a project I worked on with various AI agents the other night, which I think represents a new way we might build things in the future.

First, the problem: My WordPress site has 5,600+ posts going back decades, and I had some categories that were old and I didn’t really use anymore, and I wasn’t happy with the structure. Every time I made a new post, it irked me a little, and I had this long-standing itch to go back and clean up all my categories, but I knew it was going to be a slog.

Let me present Taxonomist, a new open-source tool you can run with one copy-and-paste command line that solves this problem. Here’s the idea:

You run this code in your terminal, and it spins up a Claude Code instance that asks you for your URL.

Then it takes that and figures out what type of site you have, which APIs are available, and starts downloading all your posts locally for analysis.

Sub-agents analyze every post against your current categories and thinks about suggesting new ones.

It previews all the changes.

Tries a variety of ways to authenticate against your site and make all the changes.

Logs everything locally, so anything is reversible later.

THIS IS VERY ALPHA. PROBABLY BUGGY. BE CAREFUL WITH IT. PATCHES WELCOME. MAYBE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SITE BEFORE YOU CHANGE IT.

It kind of just worked. I ran it live against ma.tt and it cleaned up a ton of stuff pretty much exactly how I wanted. But there’s a lot of weird stuff happening here, so I don’t know quite what this is yet.

It’s very non-deterministic! There is some pre-written code, and probably could be more, but a lot of the code is generated on the fly by your agent. This creates interesting bugs where people testing with less powerful models had some odd behavior.

I kind of want a directory of these useful AI agents on WordPress.org, but also, there’s something a little strange about trusting a remote shell script to run on your machine.

I tested this with Claude, but there’s no reason Codex couldn’t use the repo in the exact same way, and I’d love to improve the quick start script to start by detecting all the agents you have, asking which you’d like to use, and also which directory you’d like to work in. I think we could kill the cd taxonomist-main && claude «start» part of it.

Because much of the code and commands are generated on the fly from prompts, it’s very resilient! I’ve seen people try it, and it ran into errors with libraries or whatever, but it just figured out how to work around them.

I’d love it if, at the end of every session, there was a moment for self-reflection where the agent would take the repository and suggest upstream issues and PRs based on anything that went wrong. Then this could recursively self-improve very quickly.

There are some obvious improvements to this, for example, doing this for tags. Sometimes it creates too many categories when you might only want 3-5 for your theme.

One fun thing is a bunch of the work of this just uses public WordPress APIs, so you can run it against any site! I like using distributed.blog as a demo. It’ll still do all the fun downloading and analysis and everything, you just won’t be able to make changes.

I now have a local cache of all my WordPress posts I can do other interesting things with, and that’s cool.

The logging and reverting probably still has some bugs in it.

You can riff with it along the way, so for example, it suggested I get rid of my Audrey category because it didn’t have enough posts, and I asked it to look at all the companies on Audrey.co website and categorize any posts that talk about them as Audrey, which created like 50 more.

I want to check the GitHub repo for any updates before it starts, and maybe periodically, because it’s iterating and improving really fast.

So, not sure what this is, but please check it out, play with it, submit improvements or ideas, and think about what’s next. Might host a Zoom or something to brainstorm.
