It’s with great pleasure that we can announce our first speaker, Konstantin Obenland, who is the Release Lead for the upcoming WordPress 4.3. He’ll go over the things that went well, the things that didn’t go well, and what he’d do differently next time around. From selecting features, to the controversy Menus in the Customizer caused, to working on the release video. Join Konstantin for a behind the scenes look into creating a WordPress release.

Konstantin is originally from Konstanz, Germany, he now lives in Ventura, California, from where he works as a Code Wrangler at Automattic.
