Weekly Update: Week 28 of 2010

GPL Debate

The GPL debate is back once again. If I’m not mistaken, it started on Twitter. Then, Andrew Warner of Mixergy.com invited the two guys at the center of the debate, Chris Pearson and Matt Mullenweg, to a live interview where they discussed about the Thesis vs. GPL issue. I won’t share my thoughts, but Mark Jaquith, Ryan Boren, Jane Wells, John Saddington, and many more have posted their thoughts about this issue on their blogs.

DevPress

I’ve first heard about DevPress in a retweet from Tung Do (@tungdo), better known in the WordPress community as Small Potato. DevPress is a collaboration between Justin Tadlock, Ptah Dunbar, Tung Do, and Patrick Daly in which they will be providing professional WordPress themes and plugins. These are all known names in the community, except for Patrick Daly. However, I’m sure that he’s awesome as well since he was invited to the team by Justin. I’m definitely curious and excited to see what they’ve come up with. I think its launch will be in 2 weeks, so we won’t have to wait that long to see what they’ve been working on.

SimpleThe.me

By now, you should already know about ThemeGarden.com, which will return soon as a dedicated WordPress Theme Marketplace. Well, its founder, Jason Schuller, has just announced this week another project that he’s working on, SimpleThe.me. Just like DevPress, not much is known about it.
