Authormattic

Hey did you know that Automattic's Matt Mullenweg officiated sci-fi novelist Hugh Howey's wedding?! Well he slips that humblefact into a post on his blog where he re-frames his boardroom drama as experience that he will use to help writers who are joining corporate boards…

After shouting out a milquetoast list of sci fi authors as people he could rep, he suggests that his boardroom drama has led him to "become a bit of an expert in board protections, dynamics, compensation, and such. 🙂"

He takes his self-perceived adorable anecdote one step further by dreaming up deal terms: "1% fee, donated to the WordPress Foundation or Locus Magazine." How altruistic. Altrumattic, even.
