I know private equity and investors can be brutal (read the book Barbarians at the Gate). Please let me know if any employee faces firing or retaliation for speaking up about their company's participation (or lack thereof) in WordPress. We'll make sure it's a big public deal and that you get support.
For #wcus contributor day I did some writing, with a post on WordCamp US & Ecosystem Thinking.
I've been thinking a lot about the question about what would do differently if starting WP now, the column names was the first answer, I think my "slept on it" answer would be having "starters" separate from plugins and themes that configure them, and we could have a directory and community around.
National Harbor where WordCamp US is this year at night.
