Astronautas en el centro de la nueva campaña de la IFRC por el primer tratado internacional sobre desastres del mundo

Read the full story →

Nueva York/Ginebra, 3 de septiembre de 2026 – La Federación Internacional de Sociedades de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja (IFRC) lanza hoy su nueva campaña mundial, "El tratado que le falta a la Tierra", para mostrar una cruda realidad: mientras que el derecho internacional protege a astronautas en situaciones de peligro, no existe ningún tratado internacional integral que establezca cómo deben cooperar los países para proteger a las personas en casos de desastre. Un tratado global proporcionaría un marco común para la cooperación internacional antes de que se produzcan los desastres, y en caso de que se necesite ayuda internacional. En la práctica, esto podría traducirse en un despliegue más rápido de los equipos humanitarios, trámites aduaneros y fronterizos más sencillos para los suministros de primera necesidad, una cooperación más predecible entre los gobiernos y las organizaciones humanitarias, menores costos y menos trabas administrativas, así como una mejor protección para las personas afectadas por los desastres. De forma paralela al lanzamiento de la campaña, la IFRC publica un nuevo análisis global que muestra por qué es necesario un tratado sobre desastres y qué diferencia podría suponer. El estudio recopila datos sobre el riesgo de desastres, la protección y los obstáculos a la ayuda internacional, junto con cuatro estudios de caso de Belice, Fiyi, Líbano y Madagascar. Lea los estudios de caso de Belice, Fiyi, Líbano y Madagascar. En 2027, los gobiernos se reunirán para negociar el tratado, y la IFRC pone a su disposición su apoyo a lo largo de todo el proceso, ofreciendo conocimientos técnicos y décadas de experiencia en la preparación y respuesta ante desastres. La campaña de la IFRC cuenta con el respaldo de destacados astronautas, entre los que se encuentran la Dra. Sian Proctor, Nicole Stott, José Hernández, Scott Kelly, Doug Hurley, Julie Payette, Jean-François Clervoy y Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger, quienes suman sus voces al llam

WordPress.org blog: WordPress Takes Its Turn Leading the Open Website Alliance
by Mary Hubbard on 21st September 2026 at 14:28
I’m happy to announce that I am now serving as president of the Open Website Alliance (OWA), representing the WordPress Foundation. The Alliance brings together the community organizations behind Drupal, Joomla!, TYPO3, and WordPress to advocate for open source and share practices that benefit their projects. I represent the WordPress Foundation in this role, which rotates among the Alliance’s members. WordPress announced its participation in the Alliance in 2024, building on our work with Drupal, Joomla!, and TYPO3 to respond to the European Union’s Cyber Resilience Act. While many open source projects focus on underlying digital infrastructure, our content management systems power the websites where businesses reach customers and sell products and services. We asked policymakers to account for that economic role when setting security requirements, while respecting how communities of developers, translators, educators, and other contributors build and maintain the software. We share a belief that everyone should have the freedom to use, change, and share the tools they rely on. This commitment to openness builds on efforts such WordPress’s recent signing of the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter. Our mission to democratize publishing means giving anyone a voice and welcoming everyone to contribute. Working with other communities puts those values into practice beyond WordPress, supporting the freedoms that make participation possible. I invite you to read the Open Website Alliance charter to learn more about the commitments its members share and how the Alliance works.
OpenStation Blog: Drag, Drop, Preview: An Ordinary Day Writing in OpenStation
by Daniel López on 21st September 2026 at 13:39
I started writing a post (this post!). Then, as usually happens, I needed a picture, so I dragged one straight from my desktop into OpenStation. No downloading, no extra tabs needed, no extra spaces in the editor, no more “in which tab was the image!?”… I just dragged it from my desktop… Done! And then I thought the post was already descriptive enough to tell how much we enjoy creating content in OpenStation… But I missed the preview. I wanted to see what the post would look like and edit it in real time. And it happened, I just had to click on the eye icon in the title bar of this editor. This is probably my favourite kind of productivity, the boring stuff becoming pleasantly simple… And yes, this whole post was written while recording the video But I thought that a quick sanity review from one of my bots would make the post nicer for SEO. So I just saved the draft, and gave it to my agent
