Intimate conversations with WordPress Contributors
Last week I hung out with Brad Williams, co-founder of WebDevStudios, co-author of a few great WordPress development books, and an all around great dude and good friend.
Yesterday I got together with Jeremy Felt, and this morning I realized that something had gone horribly wrong with my Mac and my side of the audio – it cut out about every 3 seconds, and somehow lowered the pitch of my voice slightly.
I was able to adjust the pitch, but not the skips – you’ll see what I mean.
Anyways, I’ve known Jeremy for a few years now, and we’ve shared several beers and meals on several occasions. I feel bad that I botched his episode, but hopefully y’all don’t mind too incredibly much.
For the second episode of Commit Access, I hung out with my old friend Daniel Bachhuber. We worked together at Automatic from 2011 to 2013, mostly on WordPress.com VIP, and on what is now VIP Go.
For the first episode of Commit Access, I wanted to sit down with & learn more about a relatively recent committer to WordPress core – someone who I’ve been chatting with almost daily on Slack for a few months now, and who I was able to share a dinner of dumplings with at WordCamp US just a few short weeks ago in Philadelphia.
Welcome to Commit Access. This is your first post.
The first of at least a few, ideally bunches.
This is where I sit down with & interview WordPress contributors (past & present) who have earned the ability to commit changes directly to the project & it’s surrounding properties (BuddyPress, bbPress, GlotPress, WordCamp,org, WordPress.org, etc…)
I’d like to target very specific decisions, maybe even down to exact public changesets, and get intimate perspectives from people who were around and involved in the process. Largely, this is just a reason to sit down with friends old & new and share their stories, but hopefully this helps celebrate the small successes & identify learning opportunities around the WordPress project.
If you like the idea, please consider sponsoring an episode!
