I’m proud to say that I (Evan) will be a keynote speaker at WordCamp Canada 2025. My talk, Beyond Microblogging: WordPress Leads the Way With Long-form Text on the Social Web will cover the work that the SWF has done on long-form text with our supporters WordPress, Ghost, Write.as, and others. I’m excited to have the discussion and point the way forward for a more integrated experience of blog posts, newspaper and magazine articles, and other texts on the social web.

WordCamp Canada has a focus on interoperability and open standards this year, with a number of great speakers talking about the Fediverse, feeds, and protocols. I’m really looking forward to the content and to talking to the WordCamp community about the opportunities for the social web.
