Congratulations to the WordPress Community for a Successful 2.8 Release

With WordPress 2.8 having been released and amassing over 64,000 downloads in the first 12 hours, I wanted to take a few moments to give my congratulations to the WordPress team for another great release.

Many thanks go out to all of those who contributed code for the 2.8 release. I know many of you worked hard to help get this release where it is today. In total there were 153 people who contributed code to WordPress 2.8. Here is the list of people who contributed:

About Matt

IF YOU REALLY want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

In any case I am employed as a Senior Linux Systems Engineer at Rackspace in San Antonio, TX.

I spent the majority of my college years as an Astrophysics major specializing in black holes. When I got to my senior year and was studying 40 hours a week to stay on track I decided to bail and pursue an easier career.

I spend the majority of my time now contributing to WordPress, developing WordPress plugins, helping out in the WordPress IRC Channel, playing football (not American!), practicing Krav Maga, and last but not least, spending time with my Wife and Son.
