An Automattic family

My work trip to Barcelona has come to an end and yes, there were some dramas and yes, Barcelona is a really cool city, but the best part of the trip was the people. And I’m not referring to the people of Barcelona – although they were, without exception, very friendly and welcoming – I’m referring to the people I work with. I have come away from the trip feeling inspired and motivated and also like part of a cool family: the family of Automatticians.

    They do look a nice bunch – and I like that you can have purple hair when you work at Automattic! Now I wanna join 😉

      Yep, purple hair is absolutely fine. I’m sure green, yellow, pink, and orange are all fine too.

    What a nice photo tribute to your coworkers and team. I not sure what it is you do, but looks like fun and work go together. 🙂

      Yes, fun was definitely had during our trip to Barcelona but we did do lots of work too.

    A vegan automattician! Good for you. May I ask a WP Q? How do I search wordpress for subject? For example, I want to find wordpress blogs about fossil fuels, or wordpress blogs about animal rights. I don’t find a wordpress search. Can you point me toward wordpress subject search?
    Thanks! Helen

      Hi Helen,

      Feel free to ask questions anytime. The best way is to search for tags (topics) is in the WordPress.com Reader. Go to https://wordpress.com/tags/ and type a search topic into the field at the top and click “Search”.

    Lovely writeup! It looks like you all had a good time from the photos. 🙂 Barcelona’s one of those places I’ve heard so many great things about. I’ll need to make it there one day!

      We all had a great time. I’m sure there’ll be another meetup in Barcelona before too long 🙂
