i've not been on the list for a while because things are really moving fast here at coraid.
i've started an office of the cto and staffing it with knowledgable people to do interesting things. my objective is for the office is for it to innovate, communicate and educate, and everyone codes interesting ideas. right now i'm in dire need of someone in the bay area with strong plan 9 experience and/or deep knowledge of intel hardware platforms. if you know of anyone who might be interested, please let them know to send me an email. as some of you know, coraid is a well funded company whose technology is based on plan 9 and whose sales has grown significantly over the past 24 months. we have been shipping product since 2004, but in late 2009 raised a $10M venture investment to expand our business. in 2010 we added another $25M, even though we still had a large bank balance, in order to grow sales even faster. the initial public offering is still a ways out, so the value of the stock options are still a very good deal. besides getting to do interesting things with interesting people, there is a good chance of great financial upside. so if you know any who has even the remotest interest in joining me, erik quanstrom, brian stuart, and many others, please encourage them to email me. coraid is a blast. brantley founder & CTO
