  1. I agree with all of this. I wasn’t a speaker, but the points you made about your experience as one at WCLAX are just what I’d imagine — and one of the reasons speaking to that crowd would make me weak in the knees. So many “chiefs” as you call them, and no way I can answer their questions! Ha. But that was a great point in Lema’s keynote speech…there will always be guys ahead of you, but it’s most important to look at the guys behind you and help them. I think you did that, Matt. Your presentation was thorough, thoughtful and helpful! “Shots in the chest” for “horking my code” is a joke — I’ll happily email you any theme files you’d like to hork.

    1. I know you’d share everything freely. Just can’t let you off the hook for your violent nature! ;-)

  2. Just a heads up – Dreamhost was there in the form of Mike Shroder and he presented on Sunday.

    1. Ooo… very important heads up. I’ll edit the article accordingly. Thanks!

  3. Matt,
    You gave a great talk! Very funny and informative at the same time. And I agree, the pressure of being informative and not wrong in front of so many experts is a little nerve-wracking.

    I was also going to mention that Mike Schroder of Dreamhost was there and seems to be at every WordCamp everywhere, as well as being a huge contributor to core. They don’t always have a booth, but definitely are in the community. :)

    I actually had a chance to meet Eric at inMotion as well and we had some great talks.

    1. Thanks Marty! Your presentation is first on my list of those I need to catch on wordpress.tv. I updated the article about Dreamhost, thanks for pointing that out.

  4. Great write up Matt, I only wish our entire team could have been there to support you (and see your presentation!)

    Was there any video taken of presentations???

    1. Thanks Adam. Having our whole team ANYWHERE would be epic!

      There was video taken, I’ve been told it’ll be available on wordpress.tv, but I don’t know for sure. I’ve also heard that the wait can be long. So maybe by Thanksgiving…
