From Coltrane to Chet

OMG. There are some good jazz fans among WordPress development team.
If WordPress 2.7 was all the fireworks and freshness of John Coltrane, 2.8 is on more cooler, smoother ride, in keeping of the late jazz legend, Chet Baker, making your blogging experience more hassle free every step of the way.
That’s from the video cast that came with the release of the latest version of WordPress, codename Baker. Yes, the last version was codenamed Coltrane. Only now did I go back the history, and find out that all of WordPress’ codenames are after the jazz legends, like Ella (Ella Fitzgerals), Miles (Miles Davis), Mingus (Charles Mingus), etc. It’s pretty exciting to see more jazz loving geeks out there.
How old are the WordPress dev team? You just made me go to my CD collection and check up on my John Coltraine and Chet Baker CDs from my jazz-loving (and classical music), geeky uni days. LOL.
