One of the best talks at this year’s WordCamp Europe in Vienna!
Caspar did an amazing presentation this year and its full title is “Caring is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen anyone do.”—Thoughts on WordPress Plugin UI.

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!
This is an article based on my talk at WordCamp Europe 2016 in Vienna
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. 🙂
Ever since I started to fight my fear of public speaking, I felt that becoming a speaker at WordCamp Europe would be the ultimate challenge. In other words, it’s something that I always wanted to do!
I am super excited that my talk The Science of Happiness has been accepted for WordCamp Europe this year which will be held in Vienna, from June 24-26. The official schedule for the WordCamp has been published a few days ago.
After WordCamp Prague and WordCamp Cracow, I can’t wait to speak at WordCamp Europe this year. I hope I’ll see you there! Cheers 🍷
