In this talk I'll outline how Hyperion, one of the Automattic teams working on WordPress.com, tackled one of the milestones that made the new design and framework Calypso possible. Automattic is a fully distributed company, so you'll get insights on how it works and some principles you can borrow to make your own remote or distributed teams work. This talk was presented at Culturevist (London) and World IA Day (Rome). More about Calypso: https://developer.wordpress.com/calypso/
