I had an amazing weekend at WordCamp San Francisco hanging out with hundreds of WordPress users from all over the world at the main event and the dev day afterward. Then on Sunday I was humbled to be featured on the cover of my hometown paper the Houston Chronicle in an article David Kaplan wrote following the 10-year high school reunion I went to (PDF).
If you wanted to catch up on the State of the Word address I gave on Saturday, the video and the slides are now online, or you can watch it embedded below. The slides are on Slideshare.
It was a pleasure meeting so many of you, and I hope it’s not next year before we meet again. Thank you to Michael Pick and Pete Davies for helping me out under tight timelines again.
Love the long hair Matt!
Amazing as usual!
This makes me want to go to a WordCamp. Some very exciting things coming down the pipeline and some even more exciting items on the wish list.
I love the challenge for improving Media…
Thanks for always posting these video’s. Love to watch and listen.
Im looking forward to the coming years of WordPress.
I am no beginner, but im definietly still in starting up learning more about WordPress as a CMS.
What I look and would love to have is to have more “educational” ressources so that students alike could learn how to utilize the platform to create beautiful web applications and/or blogs.
Im always looking forward to the next year, and especially this years December release of 3.5
Cheers
nice ! i particularly like the slide showing a french mailbox from Eze Village, nice place !
Beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Excellent presentation! Is it possible to have the slides in a downloadable version?
Congrats on achieving ‘Blog Guru’ status 🙂
This was the first WordCamp I ever saw (on the live stream) and I was excited to hear about the upcoming updates to WordPress and some of the “dreams”, like face tagging in photos. Excellent work as ever. Looking forward to the Twentytwelve theme and version 3.5 already.
Thanks for mentioning Breaking Bad StorySync! That was a fun project for our team at Lift and it was cool to see it mentioned in your talk.
I’m pretty happy that I’m a part of the WordPress community. Also, what a sweet article in the Houston Chronicle! I’d say surfer-esque before “boyish blond with snowboarder stubble.” 🙂
NIce must be great see to see were you stand now 2012 all credits for you! Thanks for sharing
Watched the streaming presentation and you rocked, as always. BTW – tough crowd.
Yeah, where they asleep??
Maybe it’s how it was recorded — in person the crowd was very warm.
Another nice post matt, thanks for taking initiative to improve the media.
absolutely mind twisting, exciting, inspiring and annoying all at the same time. but surprisingly gives hope and make your feels like theres a guardian angel behind your back. i hope to see this improve more and i hope its used responsibly
Great talk Matt, I love the imagery you’re using in the slides. Just wondering did you do all the anaglyphs in Photoshop or have you found something quicker / easier / better ?
They were all done by Michael Pick, I’m not sure what method he used.
Hi there
Really cool blog and posts. Really like the Roy Lichtenstein background, pretty cool.
Thank you!
Matt, do you have any thoughts on WordPress conforming to the PSR-0, PSR-1, and PSR-2 standards for PHP? Is this something WordPress will look at in the future?
