Watch Matt Mullenweg, open-source developer, discusses the future of WordPress. Hear about Guttenberg and more.
Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress and CEO of Automattic, gave a keynote, followed by a Q&A, at WordCamp Europe in Belgrade on 15 June.
The keynote kicked off with a point about open source, referencing the Public Money, Public Code campaign, and Matt asked why software that is created using taxpayers’ money is not released as free software.
Most of the talk then dived into Gutenberg, the new WordPress editor that will utilise blocks, adaptive across all devices, which will be integrated into WordPress 5.0, expected to launch in August. More than 14,000 sites actively use Gutenberg already, and the goal is to have hundreds of thousands using it by the time Gutenberg is official released.
When asked about his favourite Gutenberg feature, Matt highlighted the fully supported copy/paste functions from tools such as Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Evernote, and Markdown, which will transfer to Gutenberg blocks.
We were lucky to sit down with Matt after the keynote to chat more about Gutenberg, the future of WordPress, Girls and Cats (!), how designers and developers collaborate at Automattic, and more. Enjoy!
