WordPress co-founder Mike Little will be given the outstanding contribution to digital media award at Sascon6. Sascon is a conference in the UK dedicated to a national audience of senior level digital and marketing professionals both agency and in-house working in the public and private sector. While Matt Mullenweg has been the high profile, public face of WordPress, Mike Little has for the most part, stayed behind the scenes.
If you would like to see the birth of WordPress, you can read the post as well as the comment that started it all.
It’s not like Mike has been silent over the years. In fact, he’s conducted a number of interviews. Here are a couple of the ones I found.
How a Stockport developer helped create the world’s biggest online publishing phenomenon – for free
Video Interview of when both were in attendance at WordCamp UK Cardiff July of 2009. This was the interview with the famous quote by Matt, I met a guy who said he met his wife because of WordPress, I told him wow, I haven’t used that plugin
WordCamp UK Interview: Mike Little, WordPress Co-Founder – Another video interview, this time conducted by Siobhan McKeown in 2011.

If you get the chance, make sure to congratulate Mike on his award and give him a well deserved thank you for helping to pioneer WordPress.
Mike Little is an incredibly awesome guy. I was privileged to meet him at WordCamp UK 2012. I haven’t met someone so universally respected in a long time. I haven’t heard a single person say anything bad about him. He is extraordinarily humble, perhaps to his detriment. He deserves this award plus many many more.
There’s a couple of photos of him posing with myself and other Tavern regular Donnacha MacGloinn on my blog … http://ryanhellyer.net/2012/07/22/wordcamp-edinburgh/
