didn’t know what to make of the post and the Twitter storm linked to this article. I usually try and keep my distance from Twitter and its drama because I don’t need the negatively in my life. So I tend to dismiss these type of stories. However, I think I was wrong about this because with some personal reflection I think there are some disturbing parts to this story connected to how Joost de Valk views/see woman and does his behavior almost ten years ago means that he is unsuitable to be the head of Marketing and Communications Lead of the WordPress project?
