It seems like just last month when we were celebrating Andrew Nacin’s first full year of WordPress contributions. Like any good athlete with a solid year under his belt, Andrew Nacin has just been acquired, by Matt Mullenweg himself.
Nacin now has his dream job. He will be working alongside Otto Wood as a Tech Ninja at Mullenweg’s Audrey Capital. His job? To continue his work as a WordPress core developer on a full-time basis and also contribute to the WordPress.org site, bbPress, BuddyPress, and GlotPress.
