Thanks for the compilation. Proud to stream it from Pakistan. Indeed, it was an excellent State of the Word this year.

Excited to contribute and see Openverse & Photos growing.

Just wanted to put my two cents when you asked to “attract a younger generation”.

I would say “HeroPress” is doing an excellent job to attract individuals by sharing their stories which I’m sure attracts the young blood.

Similarly, “WPfounders” (my side gig) by sharing success stories of the founders of different WordPress businesses & influencers.

I hope they help in empowering individuals to contribute and open business opportunities in the WordPress space.
