12 years ago when I announced @Ghost, I got the most criticism for this line of my original blog post:
"No corporate arm of the law. Ghost would be free as in Mozilla, not as in Automattic ... Every decision made would be about improving the software, not the bottom line."
Maybe now you can see why I wrote it.
Ghost was very deliberately set up as a single-entity non-profit foundation:
- No investors.
- No commercial entity wheeling and dealing in the background with shady tactics.
- No conflicts of interest around ownership of trademarks & domains.
I don't personally own anything to do with Ghost. The Foundation owns everything, and it has no share capital, so I own zero shares.
If anyone is considering starting a new CMS project and would like any advice, let me know. I'm happy to share the many mistakes we made, and the things I think we got right.
The web needs more independent organisations, and it needs more diversity. 40% of the web and 80% of the CMS market should not be controlled by any one individual.
If you don't like the way things are working, make something new and show the world how much better things can be by setting an example of how they can be done differently.
You don't need permission.
Share your ideas, and see where they take you.

Over the last 8 years of living in South London, there has been at least one copy of Hellraiser on VHS on top of the bus stop at East Street.
The most I have ever seen up there is three. No idea how they get there, no idea who regulates it. But it has always been one of my favourite things, a little bit of solitude in the big city.
But recently, for a considerable amount of time, there has been no sign of them. Removed by the council? Vandals? Who knows?
Today, I saw a fresh copy had been placed. It made me feel like all was well in the world again.

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Hello, if you have five spare minutes I'd love it if you read my blog post about the recent death of Sir Clive Sinclair, and what he meant to so many Iraqi children growing up in the shadow of war.

In 1979 Derek Bishton, Brian Homer and John Reardon created a pop up photography studio on the street in Handsworth, Birmingham. They invited passers-by to take their own photograph, passing them the shutter release so they could control the process of representation.

We lost our friend and co-worker @bchavet to covid, it's absolutely heart breaking. He was so kind and patient, and one of the most talented people I've ever known. He was the best and I'm going to miss him so much.
His family have a GoFundMe here - gofundme.com/f/2av1u66cc0
