Ginebra, 3 de septiembre de 2026 – La Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM) realizó hoy un llamamiento por 110 millones de dólares para proteger a 4,9 millones de personas de los potencialmente graves efectos del fenómeno El Niño 2026–2027 en desarrollo, incluidas sequías, inundaciones y calor extremo. Los fondos permitirían a la OIM y a sus socios actuar antes de que las necesidades humanitarias se agraven: reforzando la preparación y los sistemas de alerta temprana, apoyando a las comunidades que enfrentan mayores riesgos de desplazamiento, preposicionando asistencia humanitaria esencial y ayudando a las autoridades a responder con rapidez allí donde las personas se ven forzadas a moverse. El Niño 2026–2027 se está desarrollando en un mundo que ya es más cálido que durante eventos anteriores de El Niño. Nuevos pronósticos publicados hoy por la Organización Meteorológica Mundial (OMM) indican por primera vez una probabilidad cercana al 100% de que El Niño persista hasta febrero de 2027. Como resultado, algunas zonas podrían enfrentar sequías severas, mientras que otras podrían experimentar lluvias más intensas, inundaciones y calor extremo. Para las comunidades que ya luchan con conflictos, desplazamiento e inseguridad alimentaria, estas perturbaciones pueden destruir cosechas, interrumpir medios de vida y suministros de agua, y obligar a las familias a desplazarse. "Las comunidades que enfrentan impactos climáticos repetidos son a menudo las primeras en reconocer las señales de advertencia. Pero sin el apoyo adecuado, no siempre pueden actuar a tiempo", declaró la Directora General Adjunta de la Organización Internacional para las Migraciones (OIM), Ugochi Daniels. "Los pronósticos nos brindan información sobre la cual podemos actuar. La financiación flexible nos permite anticipar los riesgos, fortalecer la preparación y llevar apoyo donde más se necesita, ayudando a las personas a permanecer seguras en sus comunidades cuando es posi

by John James Jacoby on 21st September 2026 at 14:53
bbPress 2.6.18 is a maintenance release focused on forum imports and first-login password upgrades. Imported users can now upgrade their passwords on first login for more legacy forum formats, including cases where the original forum database is no longer available. This release also corrects PHPWind topic statuses, reply counts, and forum dates during import, and restores Super Moderator edit links on front-end bbPress user screens. bbPress 2.6.18 requires PHP 7.2 or newer and WordPress 6.0 or newer. Sites running an older PHP version should update PHP before upgrading bbPress. Read the 2.6.18 upgrade notes for importer compatibility details. These changes are also in the 2.7 development branch. The Plugin Directory’s development trunk remains at 2.7.0-alpha-3. Download bbPress 2.6.18 from WordPress.org, or update from your WordPress dashboard.
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: How a Post Gets Written 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 And the best part, is that EVERYTHING that my Agent did, is traceable. Switch to OpenStation
