Last night, on The Odeon Bar’s main stage at the WordPress 100K Party, WordPress’s founder Matt Mullenweg (pictured on the right) announced that he is creating a new company for WordPress and that international man of mystery, Jonas Luster (pictured on the left), will be employee #1.

Here are the photos that I shot of this momentous occasion.

UPDATE: Matt has posted an update about what happened with WordPress Inc. on the WordPress Codex.
