What if Comcast bought them? What if BAE bought them?
What if Whole Foods bought them? What if the upper management flew to Tahiti to have an orgy with snow leopards? What if an anorexic rhinoceros just outright stole the company? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <af...@kwisp.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: Saturday, May 16, 2015 12:41:29 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Jacob too?! But what if JAB bought Bertram Wireless? Maybe not including Powercode. Procera was recently bought by a private equity firm, not sure if that’s relevant.

They have moved on to CSG, SugarCRM, Zabbix, and some custom written software. They would have no interest in buying it back.

This would be something that I am sure would make any employee rethink there career options. Just by the way they seem to be leaving and very open about accepting new offers, but not certain what they are wanting to do going on. I have been in the position of buyout and mergers from large companies before. It usually means that key employees get large bonuses to stick around and support transitioning. I as well had to decide to stick around or leave and have done both. >From all the anouncments and changes I would suspect that there is a very good >chance this could end up going either good or bad.

The reasons for them leaving were private and really don't matter as far as the product is concerned. They both were there for a while so maybe a change in life is good for them both. Powercode is in a pretty good state at the moment but I just hope they can hire someone SOON.. a ringer who'll give Powercode the same care and consideration that Simon and Jacob gave it. ----- Original Message ----- From: "That One Guy /sarcasm" < thatoneguyst...@gmail.com > To: af@afmug.com Sent: Friday, May 15, 2015 11:21:06 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Jacob too?! The good thing about it is there wont be any safe major updates for a while so everybody can focus on their summer projects, but with these two gone, there is no way the company vision wont change. With simon there it had become a beautiful usercentric product. On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 10:15 AM, WaveDirect < li...@wavedirect.org > wrote: <blockquote> Yes the culling has begun...
