He lives in Cork, Ireland, and is one of the top developers in the world. Little known fact, I kissed the Blarney Stone with him. True story.

Coool! You're bringing lots of great folks to FF, thanks!! :)
- Susan Beebe
Wow...his last name is a tongue twister !
- Dana Fosburgh
Is that "top developers in the world" rating on the scobscale? Just curious.

Another little known fact, Donncha had worked for Mullenweg for a few months when I met him in Cork, Ireland. At one point while we were walking around the Castle he turned to me and asked "so, what's Matt really like?" Turns out he had never met him. I thought to myself that the Internet had brought us a wild world where we could work for people we had never met, even in a startup.

You kissed his Blarney Stone? On the first date?

*_*: it's peer reviewed. Lots of people tell me that Donncha is one of the best. I can't argue with the value the Automattic team has delivered, either. When I walked into the Speaker of the House's office, what did I see being used there? Wordpress. That's pretty damn cool.
- Robert Scoble
wow, that is pretty wild, i.e. not every meeting your management folks in person.
- Susan Beebe
Mitch: I guess you could say that! :-)
- Robert Scoble
Susan: he met Matt a few weeks after I met Donncha.
