Everybody has a story. Her story, his story, their story, and our stories are powerful tools for building connections between the diverse individuals that have become the WordPress community. Through Hallway Chats, Topher DeRosia and Nyasha Green aim to dig into and share the stories of this wonderful community.
Nancy Lyons is the CEO and co-founder of Clockwork, an enterprise web development company in Minneapolis MN. We’ve known her through the internet for years, and it was a delight to get to talk to her in this episode.
Evelyn is a very unusual guest in that we brought her into the WordPress community! Years ago when Liam and Tara started this podcast they hired Evelyn as their transcriber. Since then, Evelyn has gotten to know more than 175 WordPressers by transcribing their interviews here on Hallway Chats. Her perspective as an “outsider” was quite heartwarming.
In February Topher and Cate went to WordCamp Birmingham and Topher was able to interview both Aisha Adams and Marcus Burnette in the hallway.
Believe it or not, this is Robert’s second time on Hallway Chats! His first was back in 2017 with Liam and Tara. Since Ny and Topher had never talked to him on here, we decided to give it another go!
In November 2022 Topher went to WordCamp Italy in Milan. While there he had conversations with James Baldacchino, Luisa Ravelli, Caroline Crossland, Paolo Scala, and Samah Nasr.
Topher and Sophia met with Benjamin Zekavica and Moritz Bappert, both WordCamp Europe 2023 volunteers.
