Moving on, Booting up, Changing the World

It was great to sit down with DaveO on the podcast and talk over a wide arc of experiences I've had in the past 4+ years. In case it wasn't clear from the audio (I do have some extended liner notes on my personal site), I'm finishing up my time at Raincity Studios.

After the sale of Bryght back in November / December and 6 months of transition work, I've moved on to work on my new startup, Bootup Labs, full time.


That's not to say that I'm leaving Raincity Studios behind completely. I'm still an advisor to the company, focusing especially on products and services related to hosting and the Bryght Light service. We've got some new services that I'm really excited about seeing launch, from server hosting in Canada to Aegir mass hosting for all VPS customers to some interesting computing integration.

I'm also finishing up the Mobile Muse funded SMS / mobile project. More info at SIFTtool.com, in large part ably put together by Tylor. Who knows, I might even get involved in future Olympic plans for 2010...

I'm still a permanent member of the Drupal Association and a member of the Drupal community in general. You'll find me mucking about with install profiles, getting more news on the front page, and various other Drupal fun times (there's this Beerfest ... I mean Drupalcamp in Victoria that sounds interesting ...).

Some people have speculated that all the Bootup Labs startups will be coerced into using Drupal. Well, we are using it for the main website, and Strutta uses it, and AdHack is built around it ... but I swear that's coincidence :P

It has been an absolute joy to get to know and work with the extended team at Raincity Studios, both in Vancouver and in Shanghai. Good luck!Editorial notesBonus: More coverage about Boot-up's boot-up:
