[...] مت چارلز مولنوگ وردپرس توسط مت چارلز مولنوگ [Matthew Charles Mullenweg] * بنیانگذاری شد، «مت» ۱۱ ژانویه ۱۹۸۴ در هوستون تگزاس به دنیا آمد و اکنون در سانفرانسیسکوی کالیفرنیا زندگی می‌کند. او برای انتشار عکسهایی که در سفر به واشنگتن گرفته بود از b2/cafelog برای وبلاگنویسی استفاده کرد و به این فکر افتاد که برای وبلاگنویسی نرم‌افزاری به‌روز و سازگار با استاندادهای وب که نیازهایش را برآورده کند بنویسد، در ژانویه ۲۰۰۳ این مطلب را در وبلاگش اعلام کرد. مولنوگ با Mike Little تماس گرفت و با استفاده از b۲ شروع به نوشتن وردپرس کردند، بزودی Michel Valdrighi توسعه دهنده اصلی b۲ نیز به آنها ملحق شد. مت در این هنگام تنها 19 سال سن داشت. نام وردپرس توسط دوستِ مت مولنوگ Christine Selleck پیشنهاد شد. اولین انتشار وردپرس در 27 می 2003 بود. مت و همکارانش با تاسیس شرکت Automattic نرم افزار wordpress و پروژه های همراه آن مانند Akismet، WordPress.com و bbPress را گسترش میدهند. وردپرس و اتوماتیک در حال حاضر تنها هیجده کارمند دارد. مت وبلاگنویسی را شبیه موسیقی میداند و میخواهد وردپرس کوچک‌تر، سریع‌تر و سبک‌تر ‌شود ولی با کارایی بیشتر. در مارس 2007 PC World مت را بعنوان یکی از مهمترین شخصیتهای وب معرفی کرد، وی جوانترین شخصیت لیست بود.+ در اکتبر 2007 نیز 200 ملیون دلار برای خرید اتوماتیک پیشنهاد شد.+ [...]

Wow what a stupid move. When the bubble bursts and that $200 million+ offer doesn’t comes back again Matt might be regretting this move. $200 million for an open source software package is nuts.
