Dear all Orbitees:

Here’s an opportunity to meet with the founding developer of WordPress.  It’s at Blk 71 on (wrong initial date advertised, sorry) Tuesday 3 Wednesday 4 Jun 4-6 pm, and organized by the government’s National Research Foundation (NRF)  Likely to be popular – so book early if you want to attend!  Sounds fun!

Matt Mullenweg is best known as the founding developer of WordPress, the blogging software he guided from a handful of users to the most widely used open source tool. He is also the founder of Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, Akismet and more. Matt will be going on a speaking tour around cities in Asia and will be swinging by Singapore for an exclusive meet-up with the local start-up community here! Infocomm Investments Pte Ltd (IIPL) and National Research Foundation (NRF) would like to jointly invite you to a lively discussion with Matt regarding start-ups, entrepreneurs and innovation. During this informal gathering, you will also have the opportunity to connect with Matt and hear his insights on the past and future of WordPress and his experience in building WordPress and Automattic.
