Joe is an advocate for open source, an evangelist of Journalism, and a dreamer of exciting futures for both. Founder of NewspaperFoundation.org and Foundation board member of LocalMedia.org, Joe now works for Automattic as a Happiness Engineer from his home in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Joe is an avid long-distance runner — his running blog is at crazyrunningguy.com — and often runs into town from the airport when he travels for WordPress events rather than taking transportation such as a taxi or light rail. That’s right, he runs all the way from the airport. Find him in the Happiness Lounge if you want to know the route he takes in Portland. 🙂
