WP.org para WordPress

No último ano e meio, se você digitou o domínio wp.org, foi redirecionado para o WPBeginner. Essa foi uma surpresa inesperada e desagradável para muitos, pois você realmente queria visitar o WordPress.org, a sede do popular sistema de gerenciamento de conteúdo. Hoje, tenho o prazer de anunciar que doamos o domínio para a WordPress Foundation.

Para a maioria de vocês, isso não significa nada e a vida continua como sempre. Para aqueles que estão mais envolvidos na comunidade do WordPress, isso é muito importante, porque agora você pode digitar wp.org em seus tweets, mensagens do Slack, status do Facebook etc. sem xingar a mim ou ao WPBeginner.

Sei que esse redirecionamento foi frustrante, pois muitos de vocês tuitaram para mim ou nos enviaram e-mails irritados. Para todos vocês e até mesmo para aqueles que optaram pelo caminho mais fácil, quero pedir desculpas por minhas ações.

Agora você deve estar se perguntando o que mudou?

A resposta curta é MUITO.

Minha esposa e eu estamos grávidos do nosso primeiro filho. Isso me deu uma nova perspectiva sobre a vida como um todo.

Balkhi Baby

Desde a elaboração de um novo testamento até o trabalho para ampliar a cobertura do meu seguro de vida, muita coisa está acontecendo. Pela primeira vez na minha vida, estou pensando em circunstâncias imprevistas. Alguns de vocês que são mais velhos e muito mais sábios chamarão isso de “crescimento”.

Anotei todas as coisas que são muito importantes para mim e, entre as principais, depois de minha família, está o WordPress. Ele é minha família estendida, e você poderá ver isso se me encontrar em qualquer um dos WordCamps. Tenho usado o WordPress nos últimos 10 anos e o WPBeginner existe há quase 7 anos.

Em outras palavras, o WordPress faz parte de mim há 40% da minha vida.

Ao pensar em tudo o que o WordPress fez por mim, doar o wp.org para a WordPress Foundation é o mínimo que eu poderia fazer.

O WordPress é muito maior do que uma pessoa ou uma organização. Essa é a razão pela qual a WordPress Foundation existe. Agora, se algo acontecer comigo, pelo menos sei que esse domínio não será leiloado para quem der o lance mais alto (em vez disso, ele estará seguro em casa) com a Fundação.

Meu único arrependimento é não ter feito isso antes. Mas estou feliz por ter feito isso agora.

A vida nos ensina novas lições todos os dias, e tenho certeza de que aprenderei muito com o novo bebê.

Quero agradecer a todos que me apoiaram e estou ansioso para continuar servindo à comunidade do WordPress.

Atenciosamente,

Syed Balkhi
Fundador do WPBeginner

    Congratulations!!

    Congratulations on your baby, as well as the generous gift. I can’t imagine what a domain name like that would be worth~ so the thought of “donating it” in todays corporate world of greed is quite humbling.

    I do know too that regardless of donating the name or not~ your WP Beginner site has helped me on a weekly basis for the past two years as I stumble my way around building my brand.

    With your generous attitude to help and serve others, along with a keen eye for business, your little one could not have chosen herself greater parents.

    Wishing you all the best for you and your wife~ and God Bless the beautiful #balkhibaby

    Hi Syed !

    I’m a avid reader of WPBeginner, After reading this post, I must tell you one thing, your involvement with the baby will be more than the involvement you’ll have with the blog. Trust me, it was the same in my case, although, my daughter is 1 year and 2 months, I find time to blog only when she sleeps. But still, its worth it.

    Blog like a Baby !

    Just another reason why we count on WPBeginner, WPForms and Syed Balkhi –

    You are Real
    You are Dedicated
    You are an Asset

    to the WordPress Community, WordPress Developers and WordPress Site Development Businesses.

    Congratulations on the baby, we have 5 children 3 – 17 and they are all the blessings I need but having You and Your staff to help building our WordPress business has also been a blessing.

    Thank you.

  4. Adrienne

    Well done on the WP.org.

    Congrats on the new additional. Ahhh, get ready, you will not be sleeping for about a year! it’s called adulthood, they tell me.

  5. Rajesh P

    This is such an awesome (and rare for these times!) gesture! The whole WP community, am sure, salutes you on this one.

    As for the good news on the domestic front…good things happen to good folks! Hope this good karma rubs off on the exciting future that is in store for you and your wife. Wish you both and the baby all the very best!

  6. Derek

    Congrats on the new addition and you my friend did the right thing and will always be remembered in the community by your action.

    My family always comes first before the job and before I even turn on the laptop. As long as you pay your web hosting bill, you can login to your websites to do work on them in your spare time. :)

  7. Tammi L. Coles

    Congratulations and thanks for your contribution and ALL of your great work here!

  8. Matt

    Well played and congratulations!

  9. deuts

    Wow, congrats and nice move! :D

  10. Stephanie

    Congratulations on the baby news! It’s very exciting to have your first baby on its way. Second, thank you for donating the domain. I think it was a nice gesture and I am sorry for the angry emails you received from people (not us). The mob mentality on the web is unpleasant and, at times, excessive.

  11. Gnanes

    Congrats and it was nice of you to donate the domain. Lets see if Wordpress will do you a favor and reserve a .blog domain for you since they own it now.

  12. Jermaine Valentine

    That’s a great gesture, one that the entire WordPress community will appreciate. Congrats on your new baby! If your ever in Jamaica let me know, the first round will be on me…cheers!

  13. Yuuichi "Webman" Ashikawa

    Congratulations!!! Please visit to Japan with Happy family!

  14. Brad Miller

    Congrats, Syed!!! Also thank you for giving back to the best community ever.

  15. LeBaux

    That is a very grand gesture from you! I hope karma will keep a note.

  16. Pam Blizzard

    Many congratulations! Your first…how sweet. Yes, your brain gets re-wired in a very good way :)

  17. Kerwin

    Syed, nothing happens before irs time my friend. :)

  18. Atta

    It is an amazing gesture. I appreciate it. WP.ORG is a high value domain and it can easily sell in 6 figures.

  19. Bimakuru

    Congratulations, May the force be with you… :)

  20. Charlie Patel

    Kudos and Congrats on the new addition to your family. Truly an inspiration!! All the best.

  21. Jason

    Kudos on the donation, Nothing wrong to me with a redirect on a domain you owned for a similar relevant site but I can see where some might view it as not wordpress and get angry. I was wondering why WP.org had Red in WebOfTrust browser tool with no reviews stating why it had a bad rating but this explains things. I followed you on fb and bookmarked your site so your donation gained me whatever that is worth. Regarding WebOfTrust, Any users that use it and read this should go rate the wp.org domain accurately so that visitors with the browser extension are not fooled into thinking wp.org is not trustworthy… I will! P.S. Also going to rate this domain and it already has a good score! :)

  22. Amauri Champeaux

    Thanks for this donation It’s very nice for WP community but I guess hard to take..
    Congrat’ for your baby!

  23. Aravind Ajith

    Well done Syed, really appreciate your gesture! That’s a brave move.

    And congrats on the baby! I know that feeling. I became a ‘grown up’ a year back. ;)

  24. Bernhard Kau

    This is really a great step. But somehow I am not redirected to wordpress.org – has someone hijacked the domain?

  25. Blair2004

    Happy to hear that, and this is so kindly. i which the best for your familly and for WPBeginner, my favorite wp tuts source.
    Can we have yet the surname of the babie ?

    Thank you.

  26. Golam Samdani

    Congrats to new father :)
    And thanks for the donation (y)

  27. Nayan Kariya

    I must say this is a great move for you. Its but Obvious that you are getting a huge traffic because of that domain. Great domination for WordPress. I really like this contribution. and Congrats for new baby.

  28. Vinodh David

    Congrats Syed on the new family member. Becoming a parent changes a lot of perspective for sure. And a great selfless move towards the donation. You will be a great dad I am sure :)

  29. Gaurav Tiwari

    That’s great work. But to be honest wp.org should go to wikipedia.org instead of wordpress.org. The later needs less of it.

  30. Bradley Will

    Much love, admiration and respect.

  31. Japh

    Fantastic news on your growing family, Syed! Super happy for you, there sure is a lot to learn, but it’s all very worthwhile too, eh.

    Also, kudos on donating the domain name. I really appreciate this :)

  32. Pad

    Very nice of you. Maybe WordPress should donate thesis.com to the people at Thesis…

  33. Fernando Morais

    Congratulations for the new baby.
    We’re also expecting to be parents (again) in November 2016 so maybe yours will meet mine in a few years in some WordCamp around the World. :-)

  34. Vitor Madeira

    Those are the kind of stories that will be turned into history.

    I use to say that, to accept some people on some specific jobs in society, one should not be required to have superior education, rather it should be required to be a father / mother in the first place.
    We would definetly have a better world.

    Congratulations.

  35. George Bikas

    Kudos for the domain !!
    I Wish you the best for your growing family!!!
    Regards from Greece.

  36. Robby

    Alright! Congrats on the baby. What wonderful news. Very happy for you both. :)

  37. Ed

    Well said and I would like to thank WordPress and WPbeginner for being a major portion of my career! Heart WP!

  38. Elvis

    Well, thanks for your commitment to WordPress! Another reason to love this site, along with the helpful tips…

  39. Juwel Khan

    I appreciate your donation. You donated best thing that one could do and ofcourse we didn’t forget the contribution of wpbeginner to the community !

    Best wishes for you, your family and specially for your baby !!

  40. Barış Ünver

    Nice! It was frustrating to see wpbeginner.com every time I typed wp.org, even though I’m (always) a huge fan of WPBeginner.

  41. Chandan

    Great to read this , you did well Syed.
    Congo for your baby.

    Chandan Dubey

  44. Ged Ward

    Well done dude thats a good thing to do and all the best for your family and the new baby to come. :)

  45. Suresh Patel

    This is a very brave move I must say. I am sure you are generating a huge amount of traffic because of that domain. I know donating this domain is a big think. Hats of to you man and congratulation for upcoming baby :)
