For much too long have the wonderful HQ people of Paul Sterling
in the US and Peter Gregory in Australia felt isolated and
alone. As a company who cares deeply about CSR, HR and other crappy
acronyms used by enterprises who've grown so big that they don't
know who they are, it's evident that we have to do something about
that. Therefore I'm pleased to announce that the HQ will grow its
employee count by 100% in both markets.
Welcome Shannon
Deminick!
From today Shannon Deminick will be joining Peter Gregory at our
Australian operations. While Shannon likely needs
no introduction, he sure deserves one. He has been
one of the top core contributors the past years, one of the
founders of the impressive uComponents package and an all round
nice guy. Now imagine what'll happen now that he's joining us
fulltime! It'll obviously also mean that Peter will be able to
speak to a human being in his own timezone which our corporate
psychologist thinks will greatly improve his health.
Welcome Casey Neehouse!
Also starting today is Casey Neehouse, who'll help Paul Sterling
keep up with the rapid growth that Umbraco is seeing in the mighty
United States. While people new to Umbraco might not recognize his
name, Casey has been in the Umbraco community from the very start,
the maker of the very popular Doc2Form package and was the first to
be announced an Umbraco MVP. We're thrilled that he'll get back
into the Umbracosphere not to mention fulltime! Paul is also really
excited as he has great confidence that Casey joining will rapidly
slow his current hair loss rate.
Good times. Even on a day full of bad jokes.
