Episode 12: An interview with Matt Mullenweg (Part 1)
Episode 12 is made up entirely of the first part of an interview with Matt Mullenweg, the lead developer of WordPress and head of Automattic, including coverage of topics as:
- The beginnings of WordPress.
- Co-founding the Global Multimedia Protocols Group with Eric Meyer and Tantek Çelik to write the first of the microformats.
- His love of jazz music and his musical influences.
- The three things he misses about Texas.
- Turduckens for Thanksgiving.
- The WordPress Codex, the managability problem and the call for documentation volunteers.
- The metrics of blogs in general, and WordPress and WordPress.com in particular.
- WordPress 2.1 features preview.




Another great podcast!
