One of the highlights of each WordCamp Europe for me is always the Q&A with Matt Mullenweg. I was in the audience this year too and it was awesome!

Happiness
So, what do we actually know about happiness? We know that it can be caused by anything or anyone and that everybody has different happiness triggers. These happiness triggers change as time goes by and what made us happy when we were young might not make us happy when we are older. We can also say that there are certain happiness triggers that work in most cases by default on a certain group of people. For instance, if we introduced WordPress to a group of web developers who just started diving into www development and chose Joomla! as their tool of choice, they are most probably going to be quite happy! 😎
Not so long ago, I was working as a Head of Customer Happiness for ManageWP. It was a great job and I had awesome colleagues and a great office. However, something was missing. I needed more freedom to make a difference and I wanted to bring the concept of Customer Happiness to a whole new level. I knew that I wanted to combine my love for WordPress with my passion for Customer Happiness. I was certain that I could combine these two at Automattic. And indeed, I can. 🙂
In June, besides WordCamp Europe, I’ll also be speaking at WordCamp Belgrade! I don’t have the words to explain how excited I am to speak at the WordCamp in my hometown in Serbia.
My subject will be From Call Centre to Automattic – a motivational presentation where I’ll talk about how everyone with an iron will, a bit of luck, and nerves of steel, can contribute and make a difference.
Belgrade is one of the most beautiful cities in the world! And Serbia has a very strong WordPress community, with over 2.500 members in the Facebook group and regular 100+ attendees at the local WordPress meetups.
Kudos to Milan and other organizers for making this WordCamp happen. Cheers 🙂

Remote Work
Nevena interviewed my colleague Luca and me about our thoughts and experience on working remotely at Automattic and wrote a very nice article. If you are thinking about working remotely and wonder what the pros and cons of it are, make sure to take a look at the article 😎
Thank you, Nevena!
