How I met Matt Mullenweg
I know Matt from WaSP, and we first met at SXSW 2006.
Eric is not only a great instructor and pioneer, he’s also a really lovely guy. I heart Eric.
I met Derek at a party one night at SXSW 2006. I was there with Tom Coates, who introduced us.
Derek’s early work with Fray was a major influence on my own work, and so I was very honoured to meet him. Being a dork I think I probably didn’t say much more than ‘hi’.
I met DHH in person first at the Future of Web Apps Summit in London 2006, after I caught up with him after the presentations were over.
I met Ryan at SXSW 2006, before I knew him. Ryan was handing out microformats shirts in a corridor. We must have exchanged fewer than a dozen words.
Subsequently, I’ve worked with Ryan quite a bit on microformats, and hope to meet up with him again before too long.
