    I have had two great years with Vidavee and now inside Vignette there should be new levels of success. Looking forward to seeing what the new organization can do with these products. There are some great people at Vidavee.

    Recently, I met up with Matt, Barry and Toni and got to know them a little bit. I have been lucky enough to be offered a chance to join the Automattic global team. A seriously talented group of people, I am honored to be part of it.

    Very much looking forward to being involved in such a prominent Open Source project which I have been using for a while (and which Vidavee created a plugin for) and generally supporting the related services. Who knows what future magic these folks have up their collective sleeves.

    I start in a couple of hours. I’ll try to blog more now.
