Lucky Seven – WordPress Free OpenSource Project is 7 Years and Growing!

Today, Matt (WordPress Co-founder) announced the 7 Year Anniversary of the WordPress Project. In a blog post titled “Lucky Seven“, Matt talks about the 7th Birthday of WordPress project, and quotes numbers that speak volumes of the success and popularity of this free and open source blogging, CMS platform.

  • 10 million+ downloads of WordPress Software.
  • 60 million+ downloads of WordPress Plugins.
  • 1,500+ WordPress developers contributing to the code base.

7 Years, and Going Strong B*tches!

Matt’s call to action for all of us is to

  • Tell a friend about WordPress.
  • Help a friend upgrade their blog.
  • Help a friend find the perfect theme.
  • Talk about how WordPress is built by and for a community.
  • Drop in to help test WordPress 3.0.
  • Write something to take advantage of the new 3.0 features
  • Teach friends how to take advantage of the new 3.0 features

Matt has also left a “side note”, which I interpreted as Words of Wisdom for up and coming Enterprenuers. And those words are.

…if the common perception is that a market is finished and that everything interesting has been done already, it’s probably a really good time to enter it!

This way to the rest of the Lucky Seven Anniversary Post.
