This is the sixth post in a series to help you get to know our WordCamp Sacramento organizers<\/a> a little better!<\/strong> <\/p>\n So far, we have introduced you to Bill Mead<\/a>, Brian Bourn<\/a>, Jake Goldman<\/a>, Heather Hogan<\/a>, and Jennifer Bourn<\/a>. Today we’re introducing you to Joe Boydston. Be sure to give Joe at shout out on Twitter<\/a> and don’t forget to use our hashtag #wcsac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Joe “runs” WordPress.com. Well, not the whole thing. But he works for Automattic, the company who does :) When he’s not running super long distances to visit WordCamps, he helps businesses make the most of their WordPress.com sites. He blogs about his running adventures at crazyrunningguy.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why WordPress? Why do you use it?<\/strong><\/p>\n Like most of us I started using WordPress because it didn’t cost anything. I continue to use WordPress today because I want to help keep it that way I agree, that Open Source is one of the most powerful ideas of our generation.<\/p>\n What is your favorite thing\/feature in WordPress?<\/strong><\/p>\n I have lots of favorite features, this month I’ve really enjoyed the push notifications from the WordPress app on my Apple Watch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Share 1-2 plugins you use often and think people need to know about.<\/strong><\/p>\n Instead of plugins, checkout the WordPress app for iPhone or Android.

I read a lot more now that I have the mobile reader handy.<\/p>\n How has the community made a difference for you or influenced you?<\/strong><\/p>\n This community is by far the most valuable aspect of WordPress. For every free WordPress plugin there are probably 10 people I know, who freely give their time and knowledge to help others use them.<\/p>\n What makes Sacramento awesome? Why should people be excited to come to Sacramento for WordCamp?<\/strong><\/p>\n Sacramento is hot! And who doesn’t like hot people? Actually the weather should be quite pleasant in November, so you might have to settle for some mild folks … But I promise you’ll meet some of the nicest people around!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is the sixth post in a series to help you get to know our WordCamp Sacramento organizers a little better!
