My team at Automattic is the Theme Team, and I love that we’re more commonly known by our portmanteau, Theam. We got together in British Columbia this month for our team meetup, and it was great to hang out in person with the people I chat with every day online.
We collaborated on the next iteration of the exciting Components starter-theme generator project and didn’t let the mostly grey, wet weather stop us from enjoying some of Vancouver’s nature, food, and cultural highlights.
We took advantage of a break in the weather to brave heights at the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park. While I’ve been here several times and it’s admittedly touristy, I always love coming with new people and seeing their faces when they first catch sight of the narrow, wiggly bridge — and then the Cliffwalk!
One of the things I love about working at Automattic is that my colleagues are also my friends. I’m so glad I got to spend some time with you in person, my friends, and in my own country to boot. I hope Canada treated you well. Sorry about the weather, eh?

Okay, now you’re just torturing me with the pic of the sweet table!! 😀 Great pix, those towering trees = one of my favourites! Glad you had a great time with your ‘theam’ pals, and made it back home safe & sound…
The sweets were at Purebread. I literally stood there, staring at the display for minutes, repeating “Oh my god. Oh my god.” over and over.
Do they deliver…? to Montreal? 😄
If only!
Always a pleasure to meet you in person, no matter the weather 🙂 À bientôt!
