Hey there. I’m one of the speakers you’ll see bright and early on Saturday.\u00a0 The cruel taskmasters running the show (Hi Jane & Doug!) said they wouldn’t feed me or give me my payment of alcoholic beverages unless I posted something here. Turns out I like food. And beer. So here we are.<\/p>\n
It’s honestly a privilege to speak at WordCamp SF. I’ve been a WordPress user since 2003, I recently hit my 1000th post<\/a>, and it’s one of my favorite pieces of software of all time. I’ve told all the Automattic folks I’ve met given how much history of software I know, they’ve got something great and should be proud for many reasons.<\/p>\n I’ll be talking about The Future of WordPress, a subject Matt himself suggested.\u00a0 Given how much more he, and everyone at Automattic, has to do with the future of WordPress than I do, I find this endlessly entertaining. It’s sort of like U2 asking a random fan what their next album should be about.<\/p>\n As insurance against shooting myself in the foot with the tactical nuclear missile that is this topic , I’ve been asking everyone I know who uses WP for their thoughts and they’ve chimed in<\/a>. And although it’s only a few days away, you’re welcome to add your thoughts<\/a>, and help influence what I say.<\/p>\n Definitely say hi if you see me around on Saturday. I’m looking forward to meeting cool folks, sharing mind-blowing ideas, and of course, imbibing my beer bounty at the afterparty Sat night.\u00a0 See you soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey there.
