Steven Sinofsky, very famous for retiring in November of last year after years of incredible work at Microsoft, specifically with the Windows Division, has launched a new blog using WordPress focused on product development and the art of shipping, which is one of the things that Matt Mullenweg is incredibly passionate about. Sinofsky shares a few thoughts about the future of the blog and it’s content: The title comes from something impressed upon me early in my career, which is that learning as an engineer comes from the process of starting, then finishing, and iterating on products–getting products to market […]
Hello Dolly Podcast Now Available Directly (Not Just iTunes)
We’ve told you a few times and we’ll keep telling you confidently – we are listening to you and your needs and many of you have requested that we create access to our Hello Dolly Podcast directly, instead of just via iTunes.

You see, the number of WordCamps are growing every single year and we’re very excited about that but the truth is that starting, launching, and executing a successful WordCamp can be a very daunting task, especially for first-time event planners. I know this for a fact since my wife has planned a number of events (that is a stressful period and time when she’s “right” in the middle of it) and I’m also helping to plan the WordCamp here in Atlanta, GA (and it’s a challenge!). But wouldn’t it be neat if there was […]
