Will WordPress’s Mullenweg Come Clean in Saturday’s Online Chat?
Quoting: Will WordPress's Mullenweg Come Clean in Saturday's Online Chat? - FOSS Force —
You might not have heard, but Matt Mullenweg, CEO of Automattic and co-founder of WordPress — the latter being the worlds most used content management platform — is scheduled to be interviewed on Saturday morning in a livestreamed “fireside chat” before a live audience. It’s going to happen during the last day of the Nerdearla open-source conference in Mexico City.
Because the event is in Spanish it isn’t being publicized as much as it should on this side of the border, but the chat will be conducted in English and translated for Spanish-speaking attendees.
If you’ve been following the brouhaha between Mullenweg and WP Engine, you’ll probably want to dial in. Earlier this week when I talked with Ariel Jolo, Nerdearla’s founder and main spokesperson, he said that he would be conducting the interview and that it would be “the highlight of the event.” What they’re going to talk about, I don’t know, but I’m crossing fingers and toes hoping to hear something about the ongoing fiasco that has Mullenweg looking more like Steve Ballmer or Larry Ellison than an open-source hero.
