This morning I got a chance to talk to Hristo about HeroPress, but we also talked about his WordPress origin story and other interesting things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZqWxf0wU2k

The video I posted yesterday was actually a small portion of a longer interview. Zé had some great things to say about where he came from, and how the polyglots program works. If you’re interested at all in working with other languages in WordPress I highly recommend watching this one as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=921nvVMf5ww
