As most of you know, I produce and cohost the web’s top WordPress and blogging podcast, WordCast. However, what many of you may not know is that WordCast will be hosting a live, call-in, discussion Tuesday, May 12th from 3pm to 4pm Pacific Time (6pm Eastern).

Make sure you tune in to bitwirelive.com then to watch the live video stream featuring Jane Wells, Kym Huynh, myself, and, of course, all of your calls and chatroom messages. The topic?

How can WordPress’s communication and participation between Automattic, the WP developers, and the WordPress community be improved? What are your thoughts?
