Learning from Dave Winer

Posted Friday July 20, 2007, 12:25 am, Over one day old

Gearing up

Posted Tuesday July 17, 2007, 12:25 am, Over one day old
We won't have the final list of cities until we can get hotel meeting rooms confirmed in each city, but it looks like the first round will hit about 20 cities in the US and Canada plus a few stops in New Zealand, Australia, and Europe.

Vesting

Posted Tuesday July 17, 2007, 12:25 am, Over one day old
If the software doesn't get done, you fire him and he loses the unvested shares -- it's not necessary to make the vesting contingent specifically on finishing the software (besides, "finishing" software would be too hard to define in a contract).

Business of Software Conference

Posted Saturday July 14, 2007, 12:24 am, Over one day old

Mixed environment

Then you go on to say that you bought a Dell server, W2K3 and W2K5 SQL Server. Others are running Windows Server 2003. We try very hard to stick to a single hardware architecture so any server can be swapped with any other in case of problems, and parts can be moved hither and yon as needed.
